    i get it, people like the joker. what i dont get is why hes still the face of countless memes years later. i wish i could install an extension that would block photos of him to be honest.

      When logic and concern are distinctly missing from most of the world, do you really question why so many give in to chaos and want to tear down those same systems that are resisting all efforts to improve them?

      It’s obvious that politely asking charlatans and greedy fools to change gets you nothing. That leaves only few avenues left.

            this bozo doesnt deserve to have a monopoly on conveying whatever it is you see in him

              First of all, I already explained what some others see in the Joker, and it’s often not direct admiration.

              Second of all, Heath Ledger proved his ability by portraying such a character.

              Third of all, he doesn’t have a monopoly on portraying even the chaos sort of ‘anarchism’ that he uses in the movie.

                have you considered you might be taking this way too seriously?

                edit - also, please dont conflate chaos with anarchy. that isnt doing anyone any favors, as that ubiquitous misinterpretation just gets in the way of actual understanding.

                  Yes that’s why I put it in quotes.

                  Also you’re the one who seems pretty serious about shitting on a fictional character and those who use him as a meme…
