        Like did you evolve your entire personality around the disturbing characters? Or did you watch them a couple times, quote a few lines here and there?

        There is a line and if you are worried people don’t like you anymore because of these movies you probably crossed into the former. The movies are not problematic, but unfortunately the way some people get into them is.

        To emphasize: This is not automatically your fault because you enjoyed watching a show.

        Media is full of things like this and there a few people that take fandom too far. They are characters and we are intended to hate the characters. Should we feel empathy as we watch their journey? Yes but empathy shouldn’t forgive the crimes they commit. We can feel a connection to their pain but take the lesson and instead of idolize, try to do better.

      He listed the highly inappropriate and unpopular movies that nobody ever heard of Full Metal Jacket and Fight Club.

      I think someone spends too much time reading posts on the internet.
