Comparing mental illness to an irresponsible clown is Todd Phillips’ idea of a “responsible” movie.

I can see most people are taking it too seriously. As if adult humans don’t have a mind and a moral compass.

Works of fiction have to be responsible? Since when?

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

No, Todd Phillips called it a responsible movie. Generally misrepresenting people with mental illness as violent criminals, all for the sake of a batman character.

joker was boring… read an article people were leaving the cinema because it was gruesome… that was a lie, it was because it sucked like hell… but I’ll give it credit as a Sunday movie; boring, but you can still watch in on sundays.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil however was one of the best movies I’ve ever watched… hoped the humans would have been crushed in the end, but that didn’t happen, non the less, epic movie and it should definetly take the place of the joker in the media advertising.

So were minstrel shows.

Congrats on comparing an apple to a water treatment plant.

Yeah that wasn’t a great comparison. My point is fiction impacts society and society impacts fiction.

Yes, but banning the things that bother us is the wrong way to deal with them. Do you think we’d have women voting or equal rights for gays nowadays if artists hadn’t pushed the envelope? I’d argue that we need more people being offensive, not fewer.
