It's hilarious how an "anarchist" show written by a liberal can be so extremist.
What lie was even said here? LMAO
You can say whatever you want on TV tropes, haven't browsed in half a decade but I feel like a ton of the "tropes" are just people giving their opinions about media and finding a trope to label their opinions
And then there'll be a comment afterwards obviously by a different person saying
"Bad" is subverted in season 2 episode 3, which is "Pretty Good Actually"
Joker
Deconstruction: Joker is deconstruction of clowns because clowns are usually funny, but Joker is not very funny
where not a single sympathetic right-leaning character is to be found
And no kind evil people either smh
TVTropes is pretty shit politically, and much like wikis everywhere there's at least 3 sex pest power editors who spend their afternoons waxing poetic about Wonder Woman's cleavage.
I think TVTropes got worse, started bad but unaware, got better, then got worse.
I miss troper tales, especially the ones for nightmare fuel or sex stuff.
It all makes sense why the internet has a right-wing bias.
Internet trolls are basement-dwellers that have enough time to be online this much. And internet trolls are almost always right wing because deep down, they know that the right is wrong, and that's why it's the perfect ideology for malevolence.
much like wikis everywhere there’s at least 3 sex pest power editors who spend their afternoons waxing poetic about Wonder Woman’s cleavage.
I'm just glad they're keeping busy, them you don't want to go outside
There is no such thing as a sympathetic right-leaning character.
Also, both Tyrell and Price are "right-leaning" psychopaths both clearly intended to be sympathetic by the end, so it's wrong.
There is no such thing as a sympathetic right-leaning character.
Sure there is. You just need to be sympathetic to said right-leaning character's goals or persona.
Tyler Durden is a great example of a sympathetic right-leaning character. Batman is a great example of a sympathetic right-leaning character. Consider any movie about a modern President from Air Force One to Dave. Consider every Tom Clancy novel or James Bond adaptation.
Liberals get suckered into right-leaning character tropes all the time. Look at how quickly they sucked up to the Bush Family and how fast those hagiographies for Colin Powell came out.
Even White Rose thought her evil actions would be wiped out and reverted.
Lmao, the show features Bezos-expy teaming up with the main characters to stop China and they still want MORE right wing stuff???
How much you wanna bet this nerd wouldn't have said a damn thing if the show sucked off capitalism and whined about evil commies instead?
Absolutely -fucking - guaranteed.
No one, not even the verbal ballerinas truly believe in "equality of opinion". It's always more acceptable for the right to be biased than it is for the left to be biased. This makes sense as the right-wing is all about society being more biased.
my problem with mr. robot was that it was actually kind of poorly written, telegraphed its twists well ahead of time with big neon signs, couldn't maintain suspense in scenes and subplots intended to be suspenseful, and felt like a huge mishmash of derivative concepts blended together on a low setting so you have big identifiable chunks left in the mix
I only watched season 1 though
Season 1 was actually okay but the rest of the show devolved into "extremism on both sides is bad and any attempt at a revolutionary overthrow of the status quo just plays into the plans of the elite no matter what"
Really? I thought secondary plot of “happenings in the world” was meditation on how system will reassert itself :shrug-outta-hecks:
what ever happened to keeping a neutral tone? I know it's a lie anyway, but they used to be pretty strict about the law of careful editing. Many, I used to burn through so many hours on that site.
There's so much media and so much commentary on media, I'm not going to pretend to lose sleep over a six-year-old show getting ragged on in the subtext of a wikipedia for tropes.
A show that was obviously aping Fight Club turned out to... be critical of capitalism, you say?! Meh.
The show got a lot of this when it was running since the hacking aspects attracted techbros. It isn't even that the show doesn't have attempts at sympathetic right wing people in it, it's just that when it would do something like a hero fbi agent she would also be gay so she's an honorary leftist to them anyway.
Oh no, left-wing media treats right-wingers with the same scorn that right-wing media treats left-wingers with (but it's totally okay for it to be this way).
spoiler CW:suicide
Bro they have an evil transgender MSS hacker agent who ends up killing herself, you’d think these chuds would love that show
they hate it because
spoiler
that evil person is eventually shown to be passionately at odds against reality, and thus confused to the point of relative harmlessness, and it is on balance a fairly sensitive portrayal of a trans person who had noble ambitions to make the world a better place (but was understandably wrong in every step to go about it).
We need to start dunking on Tvtropes more, lots of libs and fashies there.
