'Irresponsible propaganda?'
Within hours of the "Joker" premiere, some warned that Phoenix's full-throttle portrait of a needy, embittered clown who lives with his mother could empower incels (or involuntary celibates) -- the angry, misogynist young men who have been blamed for so much far-right and white supremacist violence.
Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson worried that it was "exhilarating in the most prurient of ways, a snuff film about the death of order, about the rot of a governing ethos."
He feared that it "may be irresponsible propaganda for the very men it pathologises".
But most critics disagreed, with Variety's Owen Gleiberman saying Phoenix has remade Batman's arch-enemy as a "Method psycho, a troublemaker so intense in his cuckoo hostility that even as you're gawking at his violence, you still feel his pain."
The actor reportedly lost more than 23 kilos (52 pounds) to play the part.
Phillips defended his film saying the jury "understood what we were trying to say, and I hope that translates."
He told reporters that he had "pushed away from comedy because comedy is truth, and truth has become offensive in the States."
"We had a lot of resistance trying to get this movie made and now we couldn't be prouder."

I’ve never had sex and I’m going to go on a crime spree because of this movie now.

>Truth is offensive because drumpf hates it!!!1
I guarantee this is what he meant
Dominic Thomas
Its 100% meme magic. We already got Lefties afraid of clowns thanks to clown pepe. Everything they fear is represented in the Joker character.
Leo Gray
UHMMM, YEAHPP, I'M THINKING IT'S KINO
Nathaniel Phillips
nope
here he's clearly saying comedy is now offensive because SOCIETY is too PC, so he decided to make a drama

when I went to incel forums they were mainly talking about epicanthal tilts and immutable genetic factors that contribute to their loneliness, not sure how it became about violence or misogyny, as most people who assault women are people that DO have sex

> Also there’s a thing going on right now where the world as a whole is waking up to the fact that the system is rigged, that the shit is stacked up against the little guy. So when you get movies like The Big Short or Money Monster or hopefully even this movie, you realise that these characters are pawns. I do feel like that’s become more of a thing recently in movies. It happens to be Trump’s theme, even though he couldn’t be more part of the fucking system if he tried. The guy has balls, you’ve got to give him that.
Josiah Cook
that's the only mention to Trump in the interview and it's blackpilled
Ryder Murphy
Elliot Roger and that Canadian that drove a van into people literally labled himself an incel, so they just ran the narrative

Americans really believe that watching movies gives people powers, as if they gave them stat points in an RPG, don't they?

>guy who got his start recording GG Allin throwing poop laments it’s hard to be subversive
Sounds like he just shock poisoned pushing the envelope
Jason Lee
He's 50 something.

The entire system was against Trump, he knows he's just lying.

Is it true he strangles Veronica with a game pad cord in the last scene and the sequel 'Gamer' is announced post credits
