"I can understand the sentiment of getting upset with the overuse of the "something bad happens to a female character to motivate love interest/father/brother/friend to act" trope, but it's the freaking Killing Joke. Joker doesn't shoot Barbara because she was Batgirl, he shot her because she was Gordon's daughter. He didn't strip her and take photographs to be a perv, it was all meant to try and break the commissioner. To show Batman that the only thing that separates sanity from the Joker is one bad day. —Kamen Rider Black RX on Andrew Dobson's reaction to the Killing Joke animated adaptation, Kiwi Farms thread

[...] [Christian Weston Chandler] is arguably one of the most well documented people in human history. His entire life is on the internet from his childhood up until today, and we fill in more of the blank spots all the time. Imagine googling your name and seeing that. Imagine embarrassing photos you took ending up on fucking TV and shit. Imagine being followed and harassed relentlessly by a bunch of weens. Imagine every time you meet somebody you find out they were actually fucking with you and don't actually like you. —feedtheoctopus, "Is Chris Getting Worse?" (Kiwi Farms thread)

"[...] I see more and more new age leftards use [Idiocracy] as one of their biggest arguing points against Trump, his supporters or anyone that disagrees with them "You see this movie?! THIS IS OUR REALITY NOW!" while being completely unaware of how the setting is more inline with their views and modern lifestyles. A hedonistic wasteland obsessed with consumerism, sex, media and celebrities that has an unhealthy loyalty towards companies and brands and loves the idea of being ruled over by them. These fucking people are so oblivious to the nature of the world within the film it's honestly shameful."

"Alzheimer's is the ultimate pirate, pillaging a person's life and leaving an empty landscape behind. It sweepe up entire families, forcing everyone to claw their way through overwhelming grief, confusion, helplessness, and anger. Perhaps for your comedy you would like to visit some dementia facilities. I have — I didn’t find anything comedic there, and my hope would be that if you’re a decent human being, you wouldn’t either."'

"In an internet-centric world, an age of diminished returns where millions live their lives as if they’re dealing with undiagnosed cases of agoraphobia, Bruce Springsteen is an anachronism. Experiencing life, romance, and many of the other things he used to sing about requires disconnecting from the grid, leaving the house or your local java emporium/internet cafe, and feeling the wind in your face, the pavement under your wheels, and a swelling in your heart. You just can’t get that from MySpace or YouTube, even with a vivid imagination and enough Class 1 narcotics to stagger a Clydesdale."
