      Dating is all about being judgmental - you’re looking for someone that’s compatible with you. A lot of people find idolizing the Joker and Thanos not compatible with them.

      Sometimes being judgemental is okay. Calling someone out for idolizing mentally unstable murderers is justified.

        Feel like if it was mussolini or Trump this would be the message. It’s a cartoon character. Anyway, this thread is starting to feel silly. Thought I was missing the joke, I guess it just isn’t resonating.

          Iirc, that particular Thanos poster was an incel talking point for a bit. Don’t think it’s just Thanos, it’s that particular image of Thanos

          While the Thanos bit might be artistic hyperbole, picking the Joker as a role model is more common irl than it should be, and is a legitimate red flag, considering that Joker stans tend to romanticize his relationship with Harley Quinn, which is very much an abusive, manipulative one.

          When looking for a mature, emotional healthy & safe partner, Joker fans should be avoided at a costs.
