The Animated Series is really a product of its time, and lot of its high points were rooted in that. From the production value, to how dark it was willing to get, to having legitimate VAs like Hamill, all of this was way out of the norm at the time. It stood out as something special. If you don't have nostalgia for it, its unlikely to ever get you.
I'll watch cartoons that are comedic
Batman The Brave and the Bold is apparently also really good (haven't seen myself) and is a completely comedic series that was dedicated to obscure and campy villains that will never get acknowledged again for being too funny or ridiculous.
Might be more your alley in this regard.
That's one of the reasons why the Arkham Origins game has one of the best depictions of him. It bounces around between being a legitimately unnerving monster, always one bad line from going off, that nobody knows how to react to to being a straight goofy clown screwing around for the hell of it. And not being invincible either, as shown by his vision of Batman being a literal tentacle demon from the shadows.
It actually felt free to tell a story with him (due to being a B team spinoff) instead of letting Mark Hamill say something loudly as the joke.
The Dark Knight unironically ruined both the Joker as a character and Batman as a property forever.
Literally no one was talking about the Joker as this deep philosophical symbol of chaos/anarchy prior, other than some real nerds who did that with everyone. He was just one of the main villains and had a gimmick who was a foil to Batman, as the loud, colorful to his brooding, dark. Not pretentious shit, basic bitch level.
For example, during the famous Batman/Spiderman crossover in the 90s when Joker teams up with Carnage, an actual symbol of chaos character, they break up because Joker is more concerned with theater and fucking plans than actually killing people. Including being grossed out at the thought of having to do it himself.
TDK as a movie is a solid movie, and Ledger puts in a great performance. But the hype it reached has basically destroyed everything about the character and it can never go back. People meme'd a reality into existence about him, and now every writer has to address it.
Ironically, if they would just own up to being accelerationists that want to make things worse because they think we are over the event horizon, they would at least have a position they are standing on.
But that's a fixed point, one that can be criticized and is full of flaws (like every other position they constantly decry). They can't actually have that, because if they weren't perfect then they'd look like hypocrites for attacking others for not being so constantly.
Its all about the purity spiral, just like it was for the Lefties.
How can someone be pro white and promote Newsome??
Doomers, and people like the groypers, don't have actual beliefs, politics, or principles. They just wait around for something to happen so they can smugly say "NO WRONG" and demand everyone join them in throwing their toys out. So they can feel superior and dodge the possibility of getting caught being wrong because something doesn't work out perfectly.
Its why you see people everyday going "Trump FUCKED UP, voting straight Dems from now on!" without a hint of understanding or acknowledging how that would make literally any position they hold worse regardless of how bad someone like Trump is doing.
Fuentes will encourage his people to vote for anyone not-Trump anytime something pro-Jew happens, to farm for the attention.
He also pushed them to vote for Kamala before the election as late as September, because apparently it took him that long to know that Trump was big into Jews.
Reminder that a recent poll found that the majority of Fuentes supporters are non-white males under 30, and Democrats were almost equally as represented as Republicans among them.
Its still a poll, so not hard science, but its also completely obvious if you interact with any of them.
Non-Jew pro-semites have been pushing for this for years. It was always the Jews who fought to keep it.
Its been a obvious trend for a long time that no matter how bad the "antisemitism" was, Jews still wanted to be known as Jews. They won't say why, but its very obvious they know how beneficial that label is and its worth all the consequences it brings.
Guess the castle is finally crumbling hard enough that they want to slink fully back to shadows.
I can't remember what it specifically was, and I've never played Fortnite to know anything outside of the big BLM video moment.
I am fairly certain it was prior to his full Zionism conversion however. That's a much more recent obsession of his.
and he justs posts on Scored for fun
The reason why I don't subscribe to this theory is that I met him back on reddit itself, and had legitimate conversations with him before we all came here.
He outright asked me as a "senior anti-feminist" about how to deal with his anger, his feelings of powerlessness and a lot of other common concerns for younger guys going into this "culture war" back in the day. Which shows he was aware of his struggling mental state before it fully decayed into the schizo he is now, and was once legitimately trying to do something.
I know that answer is less funny, but I have a lot of sympathy for the guy even if he is a clown.
I don't think it was entirely intentionally done from the foundation, but more just bad investigative work done by single minded police. Like I said in another comment, they used Ed Kemper to basically build their blueprint, which is what created the "high IQ, soft spoken/polite, sexually frustrated and hates their mom" standard that they brought into every other case.
And then the media latches on to it, spreads it everywhere, and then because women love murder porn they repeat it constantly. Which then creates this idea in everyone's head that its this constantly repeated pattern, despite being pretty much only a handful of examples.
For example, its not just a race problem. Serial killers have a huge overrepresentation of faggots too, but because of that same Kemper blueprint nobody focuses on that even when very gay serial killers are literally being talked about, like Gacey or Dahmer.
So like always, its the media creating nonsense from half truths and then people swallowing it without a thought until it literally influences their perception of reality.
It wasn't a skin, I believe it was one of their "play this literal propaganda video on a big screen in the game" things they were doing at the time. I specifically remember him brushing off the BLM video, but then flipping out on one later.
Its a legitimate reason to boycott something politically, but most of us also have more to our life than to unravel by losing a single video game.
Also, my theory has always been that he is one of those IT guys that works for a company that pays him decently and lets him just exist posting online 90% of the day because of how little work it actually requires.
Unironically, I think losing Fortnite might be the catalyst.
Because that used to be one of his few non-political, non-raging topics. Might have been his one escapism in life. And then they did some virtue signal move that he was enraged over, and it had to go too.
After that he very clearly started escalating here, which is when his bans started happening faster, and his time away from here seems to have continued that trend.
We think of serial killers as owl, vultures, foxes, leopards. Animals that stealthily stalk a single target
All true, but this idea specifically is not organic. It was the BSU task force who created this entire idea, and then perpetuated it across our culture to create this very specific image in our head of what a serial killer is.
And because of it, it not only let blacks skate away with very little acknowledgement for being so horrifically violent, it also created the entire "murder porn" genre for women. Because a hot stalker white male violently taking you fits right into their lust, while a black ape cavemanning them does not.
My point being there's probably a plurality of women who reject feminism and wish for a return of traditional gender roles.
Probably is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I am on the other hand am almost absolutely sure of the contrary.
Because almost none of them, even the ones who claim to do so, even come close to even trying to "walk the walk" despite doing a lot of talking. They still want all the good parts that feminism gave them, while decrying all the stigma that feminism brought them.
When they start campaigning to end "no fault divorce" or decriminalizing most forms of "domestic violence", then they might have a leg to stand on. Otherwise they simply ate happily from the spoils until it had consequences and are now trying to keep most of them while dodging responsibility. Its a woman's favorite pastime after all.
I understand what you are trying to get at, buts its just softballing something you'd hold anyone else to task for simply because they are women.
I like that in a comment about "collective guilt and Communists are wrong" you treat people's children and wives as a collective entity that we all own and act upon.
I'm willing to bet almost no one looks at his own fucking daughter and tells her to get raped. I'd even wager that most guys thinking resentful thoughts have already accepted themselves as the shield to protect his own flock, and only his, and would in fact defend them if necessary.
You have a point buried in there about non-productive anger, but you are jumping all around with it to make some emotional nonsense.
Which I would say shows that feminism didn't reflect the wants of the average woman.
It doesn't matter anymore. They still eat from the table of those ill gotten gains, gleefully and without hesitation. They in fact wielded them destructively and selfishly against the common good and the men who gave it to them, and did so almost immediately upon having them.
And even if we were to give them that benefit of dodging responsibility, all those women are long dead or very close to it. All that's left is the ones born and seeped in a world with that power just handed to them from the beginning, and they've used it without care.
Uzaki is literally a meme character archetype in Japanese media, the giga stacked brat is literally everywhere and she is one of the most tame versions of it. They show how tourist they are by not knowing that.
Its very funny how controversial that show got, when it subverts most common anime tropes to begin with. They are college adults, they work jobs, the Male MC is far and away more fanservice than Uzaki ever could be (fucking shredded, brooding loner with a massive dick, immediately proposes shortly after dating).
