@cheesemaster saidNo. I disagree. I just think he's adjusting to the internet and he's admitted as much. I think he's probably had a long and rewarding career in his field.
As far as Relentless Red is concerned, he is going through an identity crisis and maybe he is confused. 🤔

@fmf saidOf course...
This might make a good film.
Films are an excellent way of exploring issues and grinding axes.
A film can still be excellent and provocative even if one doesn't approve of what its characters say and what its script has them do.
And the people who watch it and believe it because it affected them will get nowhere because they fail to see the common denominator problem.
That is...
Themselves.
But hey...blaming whitey is a good excuse 🙄

@relentless-red saidSo you’ve watched the Joker movie and you didn’t like it because it depicts a fictional sociopathic master criminal as being the way he is, because of a psychosis?
It's surprisingly difficult for people with psychotic illness to talk about it in an open way due to a prevalent and misinformed view that psychosis is strongly associated with violence and criminality. I attribute that to the steady stream of Hollywood money spinners exploiting a cliched, popular and romantic view of such themes. It plays into one of my pet hates to be honest, but I am pretty biased about such things.
@fmf saidWow, you do bear a grudge for a long time. Now off you go to SF for more Sealioning. 😁
I don't see Relentless Red/petewxyz as being self-loathing. Not at all.
I see him, instead, as a bit pretentious, and rather too proud and too insecure which results in him continuing to dig holes he is in and also playing the victim card.
When he made a fool of himself earlier this year on the SF on the topic of atheism, instead of saying ouch, my bad, he started a whole ...[text shortened]... s" mean that Joker presents merely with a chance for you virtue signal and cite your own expertise?"
@divegeester saidI particularly didn't like Joker because I saw somebody with a mental illness distressed by it's depiction of a psychiatric ward so perhaps that is personal.

In general though I do think film makers cash in on popular misconceptions about mental health/illness and I do think that sets back health education. I've even encountered professionals working in education who need support understanding that a psychosis label doesn't mean they have to treat their student as potentially violent.

@divegeester saidYou seem to struggle with the idea I might hold a different opinion to you about a genre of movies.

FMF is just sore because I commented on the lack of ethics shown by his sealioning. His comments barely relate to this thread. I suspect he can't figure out why that makes Cheesemaster see him as a potential ally.

@relentless-red saidNo, I just think FMF has you well and truly pegged, in the posts he made about you in this thread.

@divegeester saidSo you think exactly the same as FMF it would seem. That would be the independent thinking and the anti-cliques that you speak of then?! 🤔
No, I just think FMF has you well and truly pegged, in the posts he made about you in this thread.
I think that says all I need to say. The last word can be all yours.
