It's the first movie in two decades to glamorize carcinogous habits and a pedophile got paid royalties from the soundtrack.

Both acts seemed deliberate as a way of showing that Joker, on a metafictional level, was someone who did the wrong thing.

My favorite part was when Joker talked about Society

It's behind a paywall. The headline is enough for me. I'm glad the pedo got snubbed.

Encouraging smoking and paying a pedophile for his music.

Though I'm delighted to have the latter debunked.

Its an extremely triggering & daring film. I loved it, for the most part. It really loses a bit of steam somewhere in the middle with the love interest, but otherwise I found it to be perfect. And the opening jokes could have been a little stronger, but I felt that was intentional. So? Yeah. Stamp of approval from me
