    As much as I loved Heath Ledger’s Joker on screen, seeing it on anything else is so cringe. I know at least 2 people with Joker tattoos and they are exactly the kind of person you would assume.

      I remember going to a convention the year after The Dark Knight came out and there were so many dudes dressed up as Nurse Joker and I can’t help but think that many of them were just aching for the opportunity to do a little cross-dressing.

    The irony of the Joker next to that Thanos poster. That poster is everything the Joker tries to burn to the ground.

      Don’t worry - those who ascribe to alpha/beta/sigma mentality don’t know what cognitive dissonance is.

    I hate most Hollywood movies, especially super hero stuff.

    But shouldn’t you judge people on who they are, rather than the shows/media they enjoy? He’s clearly been nice/fun enough for her to go back to his place… Maybe she needs to be less judgemental on the small stuff.

    “You like media/stuff I don’t like” probably isn’t a good reason to get out of there. Plenty of shitty people have good taste, plenty of good people have bad or generic taste.

      True. But also: Plenty of people with Red Flag personality traits/behaviours/tendencies/outspoken thoughts can be charming, smart, funny (other desirable qualities) within the first few days or even weeks. After which their ‘true colours’ are revealed. I think this is what this comic is trying to illustrate.

      Edit to add: it’s not just about the media. It’s the villains that are represented and represent very specific ideals.
