The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

      Do you really think these individual, random fuckers have any power over what kind of content they are really exposed to, what kind of media is socially acceptable?

      Nope. Nobody has any power over what conditions they arise in, doesn't change the end results of what they are. I wouldn't spare a nazi the wall because of the conditions of 20th century Germany molded them, and I would condemn a zionist even if they were born in Israel and brainwashed into it. You can critique individual symptoms and representations of the odious whole. Obviously those are much more serious crimes, but the same logic applies.

      But the random individuals that make it up aren’t deserving of actual hatred or mockery for enjoying it.

      Yeah they are, sure. Why are you so defensive about this and not the other 1000 things we mock and hate people for on hexbear dot net?

          turning all of the art of film into artless fascist dreck is not harmless, and it's turned a generation of adults into blithering children. It's as contemptible as adults who still frame their worldview in harry potter. It's childish and obscene and reflective of deep problems in society, as I said.

          I said the severity of the crimes is not the same.

            it's turned a generation of adults into blithering children.

            Think think blaming this exclusively on Marvel movies seems more than a bit reductive.

              Ooh reductive eh? My shitpost was reductive? You want me to write a Marxist thesis every time I critique some dumb lib shit in our society?

              Very telling that as soon as treat critiques come up half of hexbear shitposters who have no problem throwing around insults and reductive statements in every other scenario get very serious and somber and demand a thesis. It’s like when family members of cops or troops demand very serious Marxist analysis before we mock da troops. No. I don’t care about your hang ups

                Dragging treats is truly the treats of this site. You make the mildest of treat-sympathetic statement and the reaction is far more over the top than what you get from the typical treat chaser.

                  Treat chaser quotes in this very thread:

                  WHAT TREAT!??? WHAT TREAT!??? I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO MARVEL, I’VE SAID THAT SO MANY TIMES? WHAT FUCKING TREAT AM I DEFENDING?? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY “TREAT” IM DEFENDING IS MY OWN FUCKING DESIRE FOR INNOCENT RANDOM PEOPLE NOT TO BE INSULTED AND IF THAT MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER THAN IM FUCKING PROUD OF IT IF HAVING FUCKING EMPATHY, EVEN FOR RANDOM FUCKERS WHO LIKE SHOWS I HATE, MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER, THEN I’LL BE A TREAT DEFENDER AS MUCH AS I FUCKING WANT, AND YOU’LL FUCKING DEAL WITH IT

                    I wasn't even defending treats bro, I fucking hate marvel movies (except Spider-Man, I'll admit I like Spider-Man), was just saying you were being reductive, which even you admitted was true you just got pissy at me for pointing it out.
