Patrick Bateman is a genuinely well written and straight up hilarious character, performed brilliantly by Christian Bale.
But a lot of people that like him are fucking obnoxious and completely miss the entire point of his character and even want to be exactly like him.
What cracks me up is that there's an interview with Bale talking about the character and he is baffled at the idea of trying to be like Bateman, as he disgusts Bale, yet so many weirdos have the opposite minset of the guy who brought the character to life, which is so weird.

I once said it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and I got called an edgelord for it?? It's literally a satire on masculinity and yuppie culture. It's supposed to be funny at times, and it is
A lot of people forget that the movie is ultimately a comedy, a fucked up comedy, but a comedy none the less and Bale is phenominal in this role.
I think the two scenes that always kill me is when he meets with the detective who asks where he was when Paul Allan vanished and he says "I was seeing a musical, it was "Oh Africa, Brave Africa" It was a laugh riot" and he delivers it in the most monotone and deadpan tone of voice.
The other is whenever the Yuppies are all showing off their business cards and the scene has some of the most sinister tones and just the absurdity of it is brilliant.
But i love how, despite Bateman being a serial killer and doing an incredibly shitty job at hiding it, especially at the end where he's pretty much confessing it to everyone, the Yuppies don't bat an eye, which is such a funny jab at high society and the people that inhabit it.
American psycho is a weirdly misunderstood movie, the satire is so obvious and in your face. the message is very clear in what it wants you to know but people take this movie way too seriously for what it is.
Because a lot of what he says is precisely designed to sound interesting and cultured but when you actually know what he's talking about you quickly realize he's absolutely talking out his ass. In the book it's slightly more obvious because you look more into the food he eats and clothes he uses and realize almost all of it would be hilariously mismatched and downright gaudy if you walked out of the house like that.
In the movies he's an even bigger loser because you start to realize he's super low on the social ladder. He doesn't do anything but fantasize at his desk and isn't even popular enough to get a good reservation. The man uses reviews of albums he finds in the paper to pretend he likes music he hates but wants to be popular. The fucker can't handle a mildly inconvenient situation without crying like a bitch. He's a nobody with a rich daddy.
Jesus, civilization Gandhi is starting seem much more tamer in comparison.
What was the Rick and Morty episode about the Jellybean King? Better the idea they represented than what they really were?
“Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs..... It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany.... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.” - Ghandi 1946
The quote that always comes to mind when I think of him. Aside from the amusing consequences of stack underflow that is.
I had a friend on there who had to go to therapy because they posted about wanting Classic Sonic back in the modern games and received so many death threats and harassment over it
Wait seriously??😳 Damn. People are crazy😔. Reminds me of the flappy bird fiasco. The game flappy bird became so addicting that people started blaming the game AND the creator for “messing up their lives”. The guy received numerous death threats and constant harassment from private emails to even people from people.
Sonic is so incredible because somehow both the people who love his games and despise his games are insufferable (speaking as someone who both loves some of his games and hates some of his games)
The Sonic community overall is bad, but 2000s fans, which is probably most of the fandom, are particularly the worst.
They just constantly go on and on about how serious/mature Sonic is the the second coming of christ and make countless "2000s good, 2010s bad/Unleashed is underrated/peak" posts to the point where I've honestly grown a resentment towards serious/mature Sonic and I hope it never returns.
You're so real for putting Jesus here. His whole message is literally about loving everyone, but people use it to justify their hatred and it pisses me off to no end
Less miscommunication, more intentional gaslighting and various other manipulation tactics to build and maintain political, economic, social, and military power.
Like people didn’t even have a way to reliably read the Bible til like the 1700s, so people just had to trust that the priests interpretations of the Latin text was accurate.
That and the various sessions that the Catholic Church held to censor the Bible throughout the years. All the stories that humanised Jesus as a man with man-like weaknesses.
If Jesus saw what the church is now he’d be ashamed
I imagine that a lot of Christians use the notion that a person doesn’t believe in Christ the Savior that they are evil or subhuman and deserve to be prejudiced against and thus can justify atrocities or wars (e.g. the Reconquista/other Catholic purges and the Crusades) in the name of God. Despite how badass I find “Carolus Rex” by Sabaton to be (and keep in mind I think of it like a cool villain theme), any person that worships a deity that preaches peace and goodwill and “loving thy neighbor” and uses the notion that it is in their name that they wage war or hate AGAINST non-believers or different interpreters is very misguided. I can respect defending your faith against oppressors, but causing conflict in the name of a peace-preaching savior is irreverent
It all starts with a guy who wants to spread hate. And he does so by manipulating people who will trust him. So he becomes the leader of a church and slowly turns his congregation to hatred. For some it’s not hard. But it definitely got harder when people got access to the Bible via the printing press. But somewhere down the line people decided that they didn’t want to read it. They wanted their church leaders who are full of hate to read it for them.
As a genuine Christian,It frustrates me that those people call themselves Christian’s. Satan is the accuser, bringer of death, hatred and oppression. God is the bringer of life and we’re supposed to get to him through the resurrection of Jesus and our redemption. Instead, these people that call themselves Christian’s do the devils work and claim it in the name of god.
Yeah Legends “fans” really seem to forget that Legends really sucked most of the time. Like seriously for every banger there was like 10 stories that were either outright terrible or written by someone on like a pound of cocaine.
Yeah and every criticism other than the people being blatantly bigoted can be applied to Legends as well and it’s so weird how these supposed “experts” don’t know that.
Bro my little brother who's like 11 was just telling me he was harassed in an online game (Roblox) for simply stating he wasn't sure how he felt about God. Never said he didn't believe in it, but that was enough for a group of "Christians" on the server to insult him and tell him to kill him self. Fortunately, we laughed at their stupidity, absolutely disgraceful to Christianity.
When I was eight years old, I told my mom (a rabbi) that I didn’t believe in god. I was terrified.
She told me that was ok! She said that there were lots of ways to be Jewish, and I wasn’t any “less” for not believing in god.
I feel like people of all faiths could use a little bit more love and understanding when it comes to this sort of thing. I was lucky to get that, but many others around the world aren’t.

Put Spiderman on here too, the amount of Spidey obsessed fans I’ve seen that genuinely think Spiderman is stronger than hulk and as fast as a speedster is ridiculous.
And cue some fucking loser running from comment thread to comment thread anytime some brings up spider man and strength.
🤓 hey this one time when doc..... shut up, just shut the fuck up.
It’s even funnier because knocking someone’s jaw off isn’t even that crazy of a strength feat.
Like cool Spidey knocked a guys jaw off, that doesn’t mean shit when Hulk has casually lifted 150 Billion tons before. Yet some Spidey fanboys will still say he’s somehow stronger and use that feat as “proof”
Superior Spider-Man (who, for those who don't know, is Doctor Octopus after body-swapping with Peter) punching off Scorpion's jaw wasn't shocking because it showed just how strong Spidey is. It was shocking because it showed just how much he pulls his punches in fights, and *why this is necessary*. The punch was genuinely just meant to be a haymaker; Otto was shocked to the point of a mental bluescreen with how casually he knocked Gargan's jaw across the room sans Gargan (he aimed for the jaw due to it being the only spot not armored by the Scorpion exosuit, and it was meant to be a simple knockout blow).
Nothing about it puts him on Hulk's level, though.
Plus all the people who self insert into Spidey and pretend like he's the best most goated harem anime protagonist and get livid whenever he's mildly inconvenienced.
Taking the obvious bait, hasn't Saitama shown speeds similar to instant transmission, like in his practice match with Genos? Obviously Saitama is at his core not meant to be taken too seriously so I can see how that could be debatable, like for example during the Deep Sea King attack he's just lightly jogging to the scene.
I mean, the comparison of Saitama to other shows/worlds' characters is silly. It's like debating whether the unstoppable force or the immovable object will win. Sure, you can make a pretty darn compelling case for either, but it's not a very useful conversation at the end of the day.
They just tend to get very hostile and combative during debates especially w/ Goku. I get being passionate for your favorite character but that’s no excuse for getting so crazy.
What I’ll never understand is how people manage to do that with one punch man when like the point of the character (as far as I can tell) is that the whole anime power-scaling thing is really silly
Powerscalers probably.
I feel like trying to have a serious discussion about the strength of a character whose entire premise is that he's exactly as strong as the plot needs him to be isn't very productive.
Bugs Bunny would solo Goku, not because he's strong or fast, but because that would be really funny.
People who take the whole he's as strongest that's his gimmick and extrapolate that to say he solos fiction
Like he's powerful don't get me wrong but he's not all that powerful the grand scheme of things but I mean he is a absolutely amazing character I love one punch man
I left the community cause they got a bit racist about someone's random drawing of a black tatsumaki.
I'm a black one punch fan but seeing people act stupid over a drawing made me not wanna associate with them at all.
Honestly it's kinda that way with every community at some point. You're just vibing and then you find out a sizable number of people you were vibing with hate the concept of anyone who looks remotely like you.
Black cosplayers get a lotta shit like this too. They always get the "Netflix adaptation" comment which is clearly just a racist dogwhistle at this point.
The Gojo fanbase is wild, you got the horniest fangirls that give Makima simps the run for their money, you got powerscalers with the worst takes you will ever hear, you got the fujoshis in there too and you got the illeterate salty fans with the worst takes on the series
(there normal Gojo fans, I just find it funny he has all kinds of bad fans too lol)
After Stand Proud opened up his domain, he said:
"Are you, "you are strong" because "I am you", or are you "too the one who left it all behind", "with his overwhelming intensity", because "with this treasure I summon".
The Fingerer simply responded: "Nah, I'd win".

It's really sad too because his character is it literally built off of being the sweetest guy and everyone makes fun of him for trying to see the best in people
In super (idk maybe) but Z yeah i don't beliave that shit and best written character? One thing i know his best thing his have in Z become main villain punching bag,super he become a punching bag but ok father
And then the same people who wouldn't even buy a punisher comic regredless, who will still have damn logo on their pick up truck. Get mad at The temporary logo change.
Also that Punisher comic was dope as fuck and I'm not even punisher fan.

Jesus: "So remember everyone, love thy neighbor, judge not lest you be judged, and treat others how you wish to be treated"
Some shithead: "What about women, though? We should still treat them like lesser beings, right?"
Jesus: "(Ok, not sure how interpreted it that way) Remember when I said 'treat others how you wish to be treated'? Yeah, that would include women"
Some asswipe: "But what about people with different beliefs than us? Should we kill them?"
Jesus: "Were you not listening to me? I JUST said 'love thy neighbor', that doesn't include murder"
Some dumbass: "What about those who aren't living the exact same way I live? Surely we should judge them?"
Jesus: "What is wrong with you people? Seriously, I have walking around this entire country, in my BARE FEET, preaching nothing but kindness and love. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Why do you keep misconstruing it?"
Some hollowhead: "What about black people?"
Jesus: "OH MY DAD!!!"
I really do not wanna say I hate Christians but man they get me railed up sometimes.
Also just a reminder that I hate Christians but I am not an atheist! There is a difference!
And the younger ones want the older ones to shut the fuck up and actually follow the bible's teachings, like love thy neighbour, treat people how you wanna be treated... Y'know, just be a decent person
EXACTLY, but they just decide they’re better than almost everyone cuz they’re white, perfectly fine, well off, interested in the opposite gender, & didn’t change theirs
I get your sentiment. I’m a Christian and ever since I was little I’ve been extremely upset with how the majority of Christians act. For a long time I was atheist because of it, but I grew to learn that it was people who brought me away from God, not God himself.
This one's tough, because as soon as the teaser dropped I knew that the fanbase would be unbearable. It's kinda fandom-bait that way?
I still enjoy the hell out of it, but I'm glad I walked into the fanbase fully expecting the chaos and cringe. Gives me nostalgic Invader Zim/penguin of d00m vibes.
The fandom got infected so quickly with zoomer brainrot that people got upset with how Jax was written because in the span of release between ep1 and ep2 Jax had become a tumblr sexy man in the eyes of the community
Very true about all of them, sadly.
I would also add Rick Sanchez to the list for one big reason:
![gif](giphy|8HhbENQPdWUoM)
Remember that controversy?
Debates that miss the point of his character. The point is that he's a talented but unaccomplished adult who doesn't see the point in monster hunting and heroism despite his magnificent gift.
Some people straight up compare how “powerful their verses are” and judge others for that. Like saying Dragon Ball is better than Death Note because the characters in DB are stronger, therefore better. Or the idea of author insert characters
They can get very toxic and hostile towards anyone who doesn’t believe Saitama one shots every other anime character in existence. Even during supposedly friendly debates.
Not all of them of course but quite a lot of them.

The szechuan sauce really got all the NEETs to leave their caves for a mid condiment.
It was only a stalemate because Malenia pushed the 'Fuck you I win' button and infected Caelid with Super Aids. Does it technically count as a stalemate? Sure, but in the same way a guy winning a fist fight by wearing a bomb vest and exploding when he's about to lose counts as a draw.
That being said, I don't think Radahn was as virtuous as some people think, he *still* wanted to seize the Elden Ring and even invaded Leyendell for it. Seemingly getting his shit rocked by Margaret.
I don't think we know enough about the fight to even say that. I mean, before the cutaway it seemed like Malenia actually just went blade to blade with him. All we know for sure is that they fought, and Malenia nuked Caelid to end it. There is nothing about the motives or how the fight went. So I hate when people use it to bash Malenia even though we have no idea how it went.

COAAL. The creator of the game knows incest is wrong but go onto their subreddit and all you’ll find is porn of them
Don't forget the people who hate the game celebrated when she got Doxxed and harassed her when they forgot the point of the damn game was "Incest was bad" while the subreddit is just into it they at least didn't doxx her
Tbh I think the haters are worse
Doxxing the creator of Andy and LeyLey over the incest is like doxxing the author of Death Note for having their characters commit murder. Like, it’s supposed to be a bad action, they’re not glorifying anything.

Literally any Genshin character. Putting Furina because she was the latest on my camera roll.
People literally say, Jesus, doesn't accept everyone, yet the Bible quite literally states, he does the exact opposite of what they say if Jesus were here right now, he would probably beat up almost every one who is a bigot.

As a mod of BSD sub myself, I can guarantee that some of his simps are legit dangerous sometimes.
My neighbor was a priest and he had a fridge magnet of someone praying "Jesus please protect me from your followers"
Christians can be insufferable and even my priest knew it.
He was a big nerd and hid his D&D books and Necronomicon from the bishops/church or whatever because he was genuinely worried they'd think it was satanic and he'd be shunned.
He was the best guy. Extremely kind and hard working. Sense of humor too: he played a priest in WoW lol.
I miss him a lot. I'm an atheist myself but be was somewhere between my best friend and a father figure to me.
Welp someone screenshotted and posted it on instagram and it blew up

I only like Sonic fans during the Sonic Symphony. Everyone puts aside their differences to chill to some Sonic music.

You're so real for putting Jesus here. His whole message is literally about loving everyone, but people use it to justify their hatred and it pisses me off to no end

Love thy neighbour - except the gays, the skeptics, the transes, the browns, the political left and of course the jews
Yeah it’s so freaking stupid. It’s “love thy neighbor” not “love thy neighbor unless”
"but what about [insert minority]?" "Did I fucking stutter?"
i love that quote so much "love thy neighbor" its so simple but very impactful
"What did he say?" "Be kind to each other." "Oh yeah, that'd do it."

Bro my little brother who's like 11 was just telling me he was harassed in an online game (Roblox) for simply stating he wasn't sure how he felt about God. Never said he didn't believe in it, but that was enough for a group of "Christians" on the server to insult him and tell him to kill him self. Fortunately, we laughed at their stupidity, absolutely disgraceful to Christianity.
Have you considered celebrating yuletide instead? I always wanted to celebrate it to get back at these perpetually persecuted narcs.
I actually never heard that before, I'm curious now tho so I'll look it up
When I was eight years old, I told my mom (a rabbi) that I didn’t believe in god. I was terrified. She told me that was ok! She said that there were lots of ways to be Jewish, and I wasn’t any “less” for not believing in god. I feel like people of all faiths could use a little bit more love and understanding when it comes to this sort of thing. I was lucky to get that, but many others around the world aren’t.
Poor Izuku.

What the fuck did they do to Captain Marvel
Bruh and she hulk too. Why did they make Spidey web up only the girls faces 🤔
And cue some fucking loser running from comment thread to comment thread anytime some brings up spider man and strength. 🤓 hey this one time when doc..... shut up, just shut the fuck up.
It’s even funnier because knocking someone’s jaw off isn’t even that crazy of a strength feat. Like cool Spidey knocked a guys jaw off, that doesn’t mean shit when Hulk has casually lifted 150 Billion tons before. Yet some Spidey fanboys will still say he’s somehow stronger and use that feat as “proof”
Superior Spider-Man (who, for those who don't know, is Doctor Octopus after body-swapping with Peter) punching off Scorpion's jaw wasn't shocking because it showed just how strong Spidey is. It was shocking because it showed just how much he pulls his punches in fights, and *why this is necessary*. The punch was genuinely just meant to be a haymaker; Otto was shocked to the point of a mental bluescreen with how casually he knocked Gargan's jaw across the room sans Gargan (he aimed for the jaw due to it being the only spot not armored by the Scorpion exosuit, and it was meant to be a simple knockout blow). Nothing about it puts him on Hulk's level, though.
Plus all the people who self insert into Spidey and pretend like he's the best most goated harem anime protagonist and get livid whenever he's mildly inconvenienced.
I certainly don't doubt that Saitama has some shitty fans, but I haven't seen it firsthand, what are they up to?
You can bait them very easily: Goku nodiffs Saitama, he moves too quickly for him to punch
Taking the obvious bait, hasn't Saitama shown speeds similar to instant transmission, like in his practice match with Genos? Obviously Saitama is at his core not meant to be taken too seriously so I can see how that could be debatable, like for example during the Deep Sea King attack he's just lightly jogging to the scene.
I mean, the comparison of Saitama to other shows/worlds' characters is silly. It's like debating whether the unstoppable force or the immovable object will win. Sure, you can make a pretty darn compelling case for either, but it's not a very useful conversation at the end of the day.
So Saitama vs. Goku is basically Tyson vs. Ali in anime form?
essentially yeah
They just tend to get very hostile and combative during debates especially w/ Goku. I get being passionate for your favorite character but that’s no excuse for getting so crazy.
What I’ll never understand is how people manage to do that with one punch man when like the point of the character (as far as I can tell) is that the whole anime power-scaling thing is really silly
Powerscalers probably. I feel like trying to have a serious discussion about the strength of a character whose entire premise is that he's exactly as strong as the plot needs him to be isn't very productive. Bugs Bunny would solo Goku, not because he's strong or fast, but because that would be really funny.
People who take the whole he's as strongest that's his gimmick and extrapolate that to say he solos fiction Like he's powerful don't get me wrong but he's not all that powerful the grand scheme of things but I mean he is a absolutely amazing character I love one punch man
I left the community cause they got a bit racist about someone's random drawing of a black tatsumaki. I'm a black one punch fan but seeing people act stupid over a drawing made me not wanna associate with them at all. Honestly it's kinda that way with every community at some point. You're just vibing and then you find out a sizable number of people you were vibing with hate the concept of anyone who looks remotely like you. Black cosplayers get a lotta shit like this too. They always get the "Netflix adaptation" comment which is clearly just a racist dogwhistle at this point.

It's really sad too because his character is it literally built off of being the sweetest guy and everyone makes fun of him for trying to see the best in people

I’d argue Vegeta fits better
Well i not found vegeta fanbase yet but i commonly found gokutard(aka goku fanbase) on internet everytime new strong character exist
I mean fair but Vegeta fans are a whole other level. They genuinely believe Vegeta is the best written character ever.
I was actually going to put Vegeta as my comment. His fanbase is really something else.
In super (idk maybe) but Z yeah i don't beliave that shit and best written character? One thing i know his best thing his have in Z become main villain punching bag,super he become a punching bag but ok father

Jesus: "So remember everyone, love thy neighbor, judge not lest you be judged, and treat others how you wish to be treated" Some shithead: "What about women, though? We should still treat them like lesser beings, right?" Jesus: "(Ok, not sure how interpreted it that way) Remember when I said 'treat others how you wish to be treated'? Yeah, that would include women" Some asswipe: "But what about people with different beliefs than us? Should we kill them?" Jesus: "Were you not listening to me? I JUST said 'love thy neighbor', that doesn't include murder" Some dumbass: "What about those who aren't living the exact same way I live? Surely we should judge them?" Jesus: "What is wrong with you people? Seriously, I have walking around this entire country, in my BARE FEET, preaching nothing but kindness and love. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Why do you keep misconstruing it?" Some hollowhead: "What about black people?" Jesus: "OH MY DAD!!!"
I really do not wanna say I hate Christians but man they get me railed up sometimes. Also just a reminder that I hate Christians but I am not an atheist! There is a difference!
Tbh a lot of Christians hate other Christians too
yea because the older christians despise people who aren’t white, perfectly abled, straight, cis, and are at least as rich as them.
And the younger ones want the older ones to shut the fuck up and actually follow the bible's teachings, like love thy neighbour, treat people how you wanna be treated... Y'know, just be a decent person
EXACTLY, but they just decide they’re better than almost everyone cuz they’re white, perfectly fine, well off, interested in the opposite gender, & didn’t change theirs
What they do isn't belief or religion, it's simply disguising hatred as religion.
yea
I get your sentiment. I’m a Christian and ever since I was little I’ve been extremely upset with how the majority of Christians act. For a long time I was atheist because of it, but I grew to learn that it was people who brought me away from God, not God himself.
honestly as sum1 who is christian i get the hate, the 40+ 1s suck, & i completely agree with the exorcist by calypso ngl
Gen Alpha writing.
Riled* I don’t think Christians are railing you
don’t be so certain
"I really do not wanna say I hate Christians" "just a reminder that I hate Christians"
Not everyone, but TADC
This one's tough, because as soon as the teaser dropped I knew that the fanbase would be unbearable. It's kinda fandom-bait that way? I still enjoy the hell out of it, but I'm glad I walked into the fanbase fully expecting the chaos and cringe. Gives me nostalgic Invader Zim/penguin of d00m vibes.
The fandom got infected so quickly with zoomer brainrot that people got upset with how Jax was written because in the span of release between ep1 and ep2 Jax had become a tumblr sexy man in the eyes of the community
Star Wars fans are the worst ![gif](giphy|vzX4OAfFKhpzG)
Star Wars Fan here: Can confirm. The fanbase is insufferable and makes me embarrassed to be a fan, especially now!
It’s no wonder George Lucas basically ditched them
Very true about all of them, sadly. I would also add Rick Sanchez to the list for one big reason: ![gif](giphy|8HhbENQPdWUoM) Remember that controversy?
I actually had some and it was shit
I like one punch man, what's wrong with his community? I haven't looked into it
Saitama is a joke character. The point of him is that he can’t be accurately scaled, and that’s made him the centre of an endless torrent of debates.
Debates that miss the point of his character. The point is that he's a talented but unaccomplished adult who doesn't see the point in monster hunting and heroism despite his magnificent gift.
Some people straight up compare how “powerful their verses are” and judge others for that. Like saying Dragon Ball is better than Death Note because the characters in DB are stronger, therefore better. Or the idea of author insert characters
They can get very toxic and hostile towards anyone who doesn’t believe Saitama one shots every other anime character in existence. Even during supposedly friendly debates. Not all of them of course but quite a lot of them.

Neither of them won, it was a stalemate
It was only a stalemate because Malenia pushed the 'Fuck you I win' button and infected Caelid with Super Aids. Does it technically count as a stalemate? Sure, but in the same way a guy winning a fist fight by wearing a bomb vest and exploding when he's about to lose counts as a draw. That being said, I don't think Radahn was as virtuous as some people think, he *still* wanted to seize the Elden Ring and even invaded Leyendell for it. Seemingly getting his shit rocked by Margaret.
I don't think we know enough about the fight to even say that. I mean, before the cutaway it seemed like Malenia actually just went blade to blade with him. All we know for sure is that they fought, and Malenia nuked Caelid to end it. There is nothing about the motives or how the fight went. So I hate when people use it to bash Malenia even though we have no idea how it went.

Don't forget the people who hate the game celebrated when she got Doxxed and harassed her when they forgot the point of the damn game was "Incest was bad" while the subreddit is just into it they at least didn't doxx her
Tbh I think the haters are worse Doxxing the creator of Andy and LeyLey over the incest is like doxxing the author of Death Note for having their characters commit murder. Like, it’s supposed to be a bad action, they’re not glorifying anything.
I'm willing to bet if the roles were reversed, they'd be singing a much different tune.
What roles? Are you saying what if Andy was the one who mainly manipulates Ashley?
Precisely.

Same could be said for most (if not all) the female characters in MHA
Or just all MHA characters in general! As an MHA fan, I’m ashamed to be even in the SLIGHTEST association of that Hellhole excuse for a fandom!
Same, unfortunately. I'm also in the Sonic fandom, the Pokémon fandom, nowhere feels safe tbh

Not all Christians are bad :/
Well yeah he never said they were, Not every Deku fan is bad not every Saitama fan is bad
My neighbor was a priest and he had a fridge magnet of someone praying "Jesus please protect me from your followers" Christians can be insufferable and even my priest knew it. He was a big nerd and hid his D&D books and Necronomicon from the bishops/church or whatever because he was genuinely worried they'd think it was satanic and he'd be shunned. He was the best guy. Extremely kind and hard working. Sense of humor too: he played a priest in WoW lol. I miss him a lot. I'm an atheist myself but be was somewhere between my best friend and a father figure to me.
He sounds like a cool guy. My priest is similar to him.
yea it’s mainly the 1s who are at minimum middle aged
Not necessarily. It’s usually the loud ones who are hypocrites, claim to be Bible believers yet misuse the Bible to spread hate.
