Why did the left hate the Joke movie?

They can’t create anything of beauty, so they destroy beauty.

The movie explains their own decent into chaos, into madness, into insanity, into anarchy and violence.

So to understand it, it can be reversed or even prevented.

And they do NOT want that at all.

As what Pennyworth told Wayne in:

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

That is todays extreme toxic alt-left.

@DragonLady I think it is the opposite.

Republicans want more funding to support mental help issues, so we don’t get all those “mass murders”.

Democrats want to defund the police and take away the guns from law abiding citizens (so only the criminals and the army have weapons), leaving the mentally disturbs individual to pick another weapon of choice… like those that used vans to run into crowds of people.

The Left hates the Joker movie because they are projecting because the movie talks about them going insane and acting like the but in real life…note the green hair and pale skin.

I wish we had a Batman in real life to catch them all and put them into an Arkham Asylum.

I can’t remember the name of the film that came out just after ‘Frozen 2’ but it’s funny how the media didn’t “outrage” about the stabbings that were going around the UK after it came out because the people were inspired by the film. If it had been ‘Joker’ you’d bet they’d have a field day and the film would’ve been banned. Yet the other film got banned for a week and caused a fake media outrage because for PC reasons🙄…

I think the reason Joker was flogged by the media is because it showed a 1980s era white man in a Chicago style city at the bottom of the barrel without any mythical white privileges, it focused on the real fundamental issues that make people failures in life, namely being poor combined with the stigma of being eccentric and  having a mental illness making employment and acceptance in general a uphill battle, also I think as FallenOmegaStar pointed out, that some of the writers probably were crossing their fingers for a mass shooting, though I also think some of it was genuine paranoia because of James Eagan Holmes, I’m not sure where anyone got the “incel” thing from, I didn’t feel the vibe until others (including actual incels who read youtube comments) pointed it out! the irony is that some women online said that they were attracted to that version of Joker.

@TobiMquire Not the writers, but almost ALL the critics and news media and alt-left.

Those are the people who WANTED a mass shooting to happen after this film was released to further justify their extremist views.

The makers of the film, IIRC, stated it was always about mental health and personal demons.
