Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Incels have been the new buzzword on TV.
Just to mention, VOX is not a journalism outfit. They are on par with gutterfilth like Buzzfeed and Salon.
Just backwash “I’m going to be offended for you” and other overtly racist nonsense. These people are the college kids that took “gender studies” and “academic feminism” and now they write freelance articles online as their only source of income other than their barista/Whole Foods gig
I despise these people and how they’ve gutted the field of journalism, and wish we could go back to “real news” it all seems like gossip now.
Back to the main topic. I think this looks like the first good movie DC has put out in a few years. From the first trailer I was pretty excited. The Joker has always been a bit of a social commentary foil to Batman. Society can burn you out and make you strive to be an impossibly “good” moral figure or you can succumb to it and become the sadistic, unfeeling sociopath of Joker.
It’s a story that reflects society today, and the hysterical, paradoxical nature of truly being “good” or “evil”.

Here is some "real news"

To be clear, I am not saying the movie shouldn't be shown.

I am saying if you blame "journalism" instead of realizing that toxic masculinity is a serious problem in today's society and not just a "buzzword" then you have your head in the sand.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:

You might be disappointed when you find out that it is, in fact, dark, but not, in fact, pissing off "the lefties."

I concur, I know a lot of lefties, not one of them even slightly pissed, most of them saw it and enjoyed it.
