takes out noteblock „fightclub now incel content“
- Fight Club isn't inherently incel content, but incels have a history of missing the point of media, and in this case many of them think Fight Club is an exaltation of the toxic masculinity to which they subscribe. It is not
  
  Interesting! Thanks for explaining. Not sure how they would come to the conclusion though. „poor white men to blame for everything“ or something? I always found that fightclub was about a dude who grew up in a bleak and industrialized society breaking out of his hamster wheel and making space for himself in the world (and blowing shit up of course). What I took from it is that one should change stuff instead of going perfectionist mode. Not sure I explained it well.
  
  I just assumed the moral of the Fight Club was to blow up credit card companies
- Lol, it's just one of those movies that, for whatever reason, all the weird incel/manosphere circles attached to, like Driver or American Psycho.
  They're great movies and there's nothing wrong with them.
  
  It's the movie equivalent of needing a /s to know the content is satirical in nature
  
  Ok, thanks for elaborating. I was confused for a sec.
  
  But of you're making your cat watch them will effectively castate them, aren't you saying that there's something wrong with them...?
- It’s going to take a lot of noteblocks to encode that message.
  
  Surprise minecraft reference. Nice. I used noteblock because notebook sounded too much like laptop in my head. :)
  
  They've made turing complete computers in Minecraft. It shouldn't be too hard.
- Yea, wtf do you mean? Is OOP some kinda single braINCEL organism?
  (Sorry OOP i just thought of this stupid funny wordplay, please dont turn me into an incel)
- Has been recognized as such for a long time.
  
  Its an awesome film. I dont really care. My wife likes it too.

Since when fight club is incel?
- from other answer

  Being an incel is incompatible with media literacy
  
  Interesting, in the movie the main character even admits he's nothing but a man-boy who can only pretend he has his life together but has no clue how the world works, then goes on a rage filled terrorist plot, despite not knowing how the world works. You could say Jack is an incel, and a loser. And Tyler is who he wants to be, but in the end it's still a movie about a bunch of fucked up losers who don't know how shit works.

Member when you could like a movie without joining some weird internet clique?

Cats are smart and will actually get the point when watching fight club, unlike incels. Don't insult the cat like that by comparing their intelligence with that of incels.
- This is what I meant when I said it's been recognized as such. I failed to explain myself. I forget that we don't all have the same media experience (I listen to podcasts that reference the lack of understanding of stupid people who miss the point).

But..... he screws Marla throughout the movie.

When everything is incel, nothing is
