I’m riddled with shame. White shame. This isn’t helpful to me or to anyone, especially people of color. I feel like there is no “me” outside of my white/upper middle class/cisgender identity. I feel like my literal existence hurts people, like I’m always taking up space that should belong to someone else.
I thought the whole point of Scott Pilgrim was that he's a selfishly self-sabatoging asshole presenting as a nice guy, and through his trials he not only learns self respect but how to love as well? I only watched the movie though.
Wait, I find Dennis relatable precisely because he reflects all my worst flaws with such exaggerated precision it makes me feel uncomfortable(in an enjoyable way).
Am I still not getting it or do I get it better than I should?

It's the same teenager racism hate cult that MDE was all about. It's just another boring /pol/ offshoot for lonely edgelord losers.

Much like the people who watch It's Always Sunny thinking Dennis is a super relatable character, plenty of people miss the point.

Isn't Dennis an actual sociopath?!

All the characters are

No you're getting it the right way.
Some people sincerely see the Gang as admirable people who aren't afraid to tell it like it is

Nobody outside of your head thinks that.

Well after the season finale with an unironic LGBT interpretive dance sequence the showrunners seem to be losing their grasp on why people tuned in

I've literally never encountered someone who thinks that way. And I've been a fan of the show since like the 2nd season.
Either you're memeing or happend to stumble on some extremely random person.

I have. Because they show up on Reddit.
Tbf I've never met any outside of Reddit

TBF in the newest season it seems like his '93 Land Rover is the source of everything wrong with him.

Lol

It has some misses, but overall it was great. There's a 2 parter about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, and the finale is just surreal.

Or Rick and Morty where everyone thinks Rick is someone to aspire to.
1 Alicesnakebae 2018-11-10
Pretty much
Like when nega Scott who's the opposite of Scott comes out, it shows that he's a genuinely great guy to Scott's assholeness

Ahh the hard times. Maybe one day you'll remember to be funny when writing satirical humor.

If even they are aware of the threat Male Feminists pose, what does that tell us?
1 GodotIsWaiting4U 2018-11-10
Please tell me this is a parody site
1 rabiiiii 2018-11-10
You sound like a male feminist tbhf
1 aX10mAt1CaL1Y 2018-11-10
Male Feminist here, who is Scott Pilgrim?
1 rabiiiii 2018-11-10
Sorry, I make a habit out of not talking to rapists. Hope you understand
1 aX10mAt1CaL1Y 2018-11-10
Lol you think me, a guy who called a woman an "autistic whore" to her face is actually a feminist? I was making a joke earlier.

That is male feminist behavior tbf.

Eh, that's not completely wrong.
