    It’s still a great movie, who cares if fascists like it. They’re going to be fascist whether they see it or not. I don’t really need to worry about people on twitter watching a movie wrong.

    There’s a lot of good art that bad people like

      Yeah I think this needs to be said more here. I’m all here for Hexbear media crit but the way some people talk here, you’d think we’d all be living in FALGSC if it weren’t for a couple of Netflix shows turning everyone fash. Media has power, but I don’t think we can blame the rise of Nazism on the content of Berlin vaudeville plays. Fascists will find media to cling too no matter how hard you try to edit it against their tastes, might as well just enjoy what you enjoy and focus on bashing them in the streets.

      Poor phrasing on my part I guess… I dig the movie, second one wasn’t that interesting but the third one ( I think) was pretty good.

      The thought I had in my head was “make the movies, but if you’re doing satire, understand that the people you’re satirizing are probably going to think you’re making something “for” them.”
