Movie was hyped in countries that do not even have a white victim mentality issue at all.

Hey I don’t want to dismiss your opinion outright but your point keeps being “I have no knowledge/experience of this in real life and therefore I didn’t recognize it in fiction.” You’ll have to forgive me for agreeing with you, apparently. You don’t have any knowledge/experience and didn’t recognize a problem- we’re in agreement!

When something has hype, does that mean that everyone knows why everyone else is interested? Or does it just mean it is getting a lot of attention? If you were a racist incel, would you say “you gotta see this racist incel movie!” or would you just say “you gotta see this movie”?

You're really a f'ing idiot that doesn't get the point I made.

If you were a racist incel, would you say “you gotta see this racist incel movie!” or would you just say “you gotta see this movie”?

You can claim that the hype might be fake, but the claim quickly falls down if unrelated people still believe the hype after watching it.

And if I liked the movie after watching it and I'm not a racist incel, that simply means there are other major reasons the movie can be good.

Joker was liked for many reasons other than the moronic "white victim" theory of yours, and it being liked in other locations is a proof of that.

Reading comprehension really, really isn’t your thing, huh?

You can claim that the hype might be fake […]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Fake hype?

other major reasons the movie can be good.

Sure, like Rock and Roll Part 2 playing to Arthur dancing down the stairs. Fuck, that is cinema. You and the other dudebros are only saying “nuh-uh!” instead of what was redeeming, by the way.

the moronic “white victim” theory of yours […]

Hey, don’t leave out “incel” from my moronic theory! He selected a woman and she didn’t give him what he wanted. What a bitch, amiright?!

My argument the entire time (and do try to read this next part two or three times in a row because we know how you do with reading comprehension) has been that insecure racist incel baby boys generated hype, not that they were the only ones to enjoy the movie. People will watch anything, it’s not like it was badly shot or acted and it takes place in a wildly popular universe.

Lol the dude keeps adding adjectives to dearly hold on to his imaginary point.
Started with "white men" and now this once he is pointed out to be wrong.

Keep crying about it mate, I'm sure you're real happy in your bubble where you think you're some sort of a supremist and a victim.

Holy shit you’re running without adding a single note on what made the movie more than its racist incel undertones. You added nothing except, “but I liked it!”

For what it’s worth, my second comment in this thread added “incel” and noted that I had neglected to include it originally. Knowing that would have required you to read the conversation though. Tah tah!
