As far as I can tell the message of the movie is "consumerism is bad because it's emasculating and feminizing, real liberation can be found in ruthless hierarchies of masculine violence"
The only person I know who likes it IRL also has a tendency to complain about the "pussification of modern men"
Fight Club is a good movie. American Psycho is a good movie (though the book is infinitely betteer here). Drive is a good movie. Joker is a good movie. It's not their fault that they are liked by bad people.
:this:
Tho Joker is a bit meh
I liked it, it was a movie about the problems that arise from neoliberalism and the dissolution of the social safety net, and how our society doesn’t give a shit about the ill. Plus newspapers with the literal headline “KILL THE RICH!”
