The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

      turning all of the art of film into artless fascist dreck is not harmless, and it’s turned a generation of adults into blithering children. It’s as contemptible as adults who still frame their worldview in harry potter. It’s childish and obscene and reflective of deep problems in society, as I said.

      I said the severity of the crimes is not the same.

        Think think blaming this exclusively on Marvel movies seems more than a bit reductive.

          Ooh reductive eh? My shitpost was reductive? You want me to write a Marxist thesis every time I critique some dumb lib shit in our society?

          Very telling that as soon as treat critiques come up half of hexbear shitposters who have no problem throwing around insults and reductive statements in every other scenario get very serious and somber and demand a thesis. It’s like when family members of cops or troops demand very serious Marxist analysis before we mock da troops. No. I don’t care about your hang ups

            Dragging treats is truly the treats of this site. You make the mildest of treat-sympathetic statement and the reaction is far more over the top than what you get from the typical treat chaser.

              Treat chaser quotes in this very thread:

              WHAT TREAT!??? WHAT TREAT!??? I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO MARVEL, I’VE SAID THAT SO MANY TIMES? WHAT FUCKING TREAT AM I DEFENDING?? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY “TREAT” IM DEFENDING IS MY OWN FUCKING DESIRE FOR INNOCENT RANDOM PEOPLE NOT TO BE INSULTED AND IF THAT MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER THAN IM FUCKING PROUD OF IT IF HAVING FUCKING EMPATHY, EVEN FOR RANDOM FUCKERS WHO LIKE SHOWS I HATE, MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER, THEN I’LL BE A TREAT DEFENDER AS MUCH AS I FUCKING WANT, AND YOU’LL FUCKING DEAL WITH IT

                I wasn’t even defending treats bro, I fucking hate marvel movies (except Spider-Man, I’ll admit I like Spider-Man), was just saying you were being reductive, which even you admitted was true you just got pissy at me for pointing it out.
