I remember when he did that Black Mirror interactive movie thing, and there was that really weird backlash about him for not being conventionally attractive?

Anyone else remember that, or was that just a fever dream that I had?

People are so fucking weird.

Bandersnatch.

That was amazing and Will Poulter was amazing in it.

I remember a few years earlier than that he was featured in 'punchable faces' posts. I'm happy for the guy

Yep, he played a weird nerd in Bandersnatch and people were mad he wasn't phuckkable.

Yeah people were like legit harassing him. Really fucking weird.

I guess that's the same reason that the Dahmer show did so well: they made their bleach blond weirdo kinda good looking.

That, and the general cultural impulse to find serial killers... hot?

Yeah but wasn't Dahmer known for being an attractive, charming dude?

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

I think that was Ted Bundy. Dahmer was more of an outcast, IIRC.
