CNN Piece Claims ‘Joker’ Movie is Racist

“An insidious validation of the white-male resentment that helped bring President Donald Trump to power.”

CNN has published an opinion piece insisting that the movie Joker is a racist “validation of white-male resentment” and an endorsement of Trump’s rise to power.

Yes, really.

“While many reviewers have focused on Fleck as an “incel” hero — his status as a sexless loner who turns to violence — the true nature of the movie’s appeal is actually broader: It’s an insidious validation of the white-male resentment that helped bring President Donald Trump to power,” writes Jeff Yang.

“Joker,” at its core, is the story of the “forgotten man,” the metaphoric displaced and disenfranchised white man whose goodwill has been abused and whose status has been reduced. A man who has been crushed underfoot by the elite, dragged down by equality-demanding feminists and climbed over by upstart nonwhite and immigrant masses.”

Yang’s primary reason for asserting that the movie is subtly racist is because the main character lives with his mother in a run-down apartment block populated by nonwhite tenants.

His other reason is that in the opening scene, Joker is beat up by “black and Latinx youth.” The fact that the same character also receives a beat down from a group of white man and later a punch in the face from another white man seems to have slipped Yang’s mind.

If the movie is a “validation of white-male resentment” and has some kind of racist undertone, as Yang is suggesting, it’s somewhat odd that all the characters Joker murders during the film are white.

That also doesn’t explain why he is keen on entering into a mixed-race relationship with a black single mom.

The notion that the film is pro-Trump is also ludicrous given that one of Joker’s main enemies in the plot – Thomas Wayne – is a Trump-like figure.

Throughout the movie, the Joker character also repeatedly asserts that he is not political, but the need insert “orange man bad” into absolutely everything was seemingly too tempting for Yang to resist.

It reads like he wrote his idiotic piece before he even saw the film.

“The magic of the Joker movie is it’s portrayal of people who are treated as trash by the media & elite, ignored as they wither away from their pain & problems, & are laughed at as jokes until they snap from losing everything,” wrote one respondent to the CNN piece. “It’s not hard to see why you’re “scared” of it.”

Alex Scott, one of The faces of the BBC’s new diversity drive, was shocked to discover that her ancestor owned slaves.

A historian had to explain to Alex that it wasn’t unusual for black people to own slaves.

Fact is, virtually every empire and ethnicity throughout history owned slaves, but kids are brainwashed to think that only white people were to blame.

Eh? Jamie Lee Curtis Claims Latest Crappy Halloween Re-boot Is About ‘Mob Violence On January 6th’

Makes out that trash slasher movie is high art making a political statement

Jamie Lee Curtis, who is starring in yet ANOTHER re-boot Halloween film, has claimed that this latest one is some sort of high art statement about “mob violence” at the Capitol on January 6th.

In an interview with filmmaker Eli Roth on the History of Horror podcast, Curtis said that Halloween Kills is about a “mob descending together,” who want “to take matters into their own hands.”

Curtis added “We have just in America watched a mob descend on January 6 with nooses and stun guns and members of Congress in the building, and we all watched it on TV.”

Listen:

That’s a bit of a stretch, no? Given that the movie was made before the events of January 6th, having been in pre-production in 2019.

Sounds a bit like Curtis is trying to inject some cultural relevance (in a wishy washy leftist way) into what is just a straight up crappy slasher flick.

Maybe just leave it alone and stop ruining John Carpenter’s legacy.

    James Bond Star Says He Prefers Gay Bars to Straight Venues

    Daniel Craig says hetero bars too “aggressive.”

    James Bond star Daniel Craig says he prefers visiting gay bars because they’re less “aggressive” than straight venues.

    Yes, really.

    The actor made the remarks during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Lunch with Bruce podcast.

    Craig told gay host Bruce Bozzi he’s “been going to gay bars for as long as I can remember” because of “the aggressive dick swinging in hetero bars” which caused him to “get into fights” he didn’t want.

    The 53-year-old added that he became “very sick” of the vibe and sought out homosexual venues where “everybody was chill” and it was “a very safe place to be.”

    Craig is straight and married, although co-star Rami Malek previously revealed that the two had shared a kiss during production.

    The comments will further infuriate those who assert that the character of Bond is going soft and that the franchise in general is steadily drifting towards a ‘woke’ malaise.

    In the latest installment of the legacy, 007 is briefly replaced by a black woman.

    No Time to Die will be Daniel Craig’s last outing as James Bond, with that probably being the last time you’ll see a straight, white male play 007 for many years if not forever.

    Indeed (spoiler alert) – given that 007 is killed in the new movie, a whole new era of Bond being subsumed by the gray sludge that is politically correct modern culture is almost certain.

    After all, diversity boxes need to be checked.
