takes out noteblock „fightclub now incel content“

[–] protist@mander.xyz 75 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fight Club isn't inherently incel content, but incels have a history of missing the point of media, and in this case many of them think Fight Club is an exaltation of the toxic masculinity to which they subscribe. It is not

Interesting! Thanks for explaining. Not sure how they would come to the conclusion though. „poor white men to blame for everything“ or something? I always found that fightclub was about a dude who grew up in a bleak and industrialized society breaking out of his hamster wheel and making space for himself in the world (and blowing shit up of course). What I took from it is that one should change stuff instead of going perfectionist mode. Not sure I explained it well.

The problem is they think Tyler Durden is cool? And that's it, they don't empathise with the narrators realization that Tyler is insane. That's just the what the plot of the movie thinks. Same as American Psycho but that's probably more crazy given the ending is him literally losing his mind

Precisely, same deal with the Joker, they watch and think, “Wow this guy makes a lot of sense! He’s not crazy, all of you are the crazy ones!” which is exactly what a crazy person would think lol.

Like no, the solution to the fact that you don’t get laid isn’t “Well obviously I need to become an even shittier person.”

When I first watched the film I thought that as well. I grew up in a dysfunctional family where morals are optional. Over the years, tyler went from cool renegade to violent narcissist in my perception.

Regardless of your explanation, you're clearly not an incel, so congrats

I just assumed the moral of the Fight Club was to blow up credit card companies

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Lol, it's just one of those movies that, for whatever reason, all the weird incel/manosphere circles attached to, like Driver or American Psycho.

They're great movies and there's nothing wrong with them.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It's the movie equivalent of needing a /s to know the content is satirical in nature

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 6 points 2 years ago

Ok, thanks for elaborating. I was confused for a sec.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But of you're making your cat watch them will effectively castate them, aren't you saying that there's something wrong with them...?

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

my guess is that you are putting to much thought in a simple meme, or OP is a genius and made a meme with 3 layers of interpretation

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’s going to take a lot of noteblocks to encode that message.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 2 years ago

Surprise minecraft reference. Nice. I used noteblock because notebook sounded too much like laptop in my head. :)

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They've made turing complete computers in Minecraft. It shouldn't be too hard.
