Why are normies like this? Is it that hard to portray an autistic friendless loser incel accurately?
>>220044522>Is it that hard to portray an autistic friendless loser incel accurately?Tell me, Anonymous Poster #220044522, how would you make an interesting television show about a man who never leaves the house except for groceries, does nothing but consume media and jerk off, and never talks to anyone except maybe his parents once a week?Realism is not something to aspire to when writing fiction. If I wanted reality I could read the news or go outside.
>>220044978If you can't portray an autistic friendless loser incel accurately then don't make your character a purported autistic friendless loser incel. Do something else.
>>220044522It will never not be funny how much /tv/ still seethes at /ourguy/ Elliot having sex in the first episode, 11 years later.Of course, for anyone not a cringe incel, his sex is pretty pathetic, since it's only because he and his druggie skank neighbor are high as kites. He wouldn't have managed to get his dick wet otherwise. But to the bitchless unthinking hordes of 4chan, that was enough to incite rage.
>>220044978You could make it almost like an uncomfortable thriller as if the autistic character is barely surviving in this world of complex social algorithms, portraying something as banal as two high school kids sitting at a table next to each other as an extremely tense pressured situation where every word, pause or question that is uttered is like being held at gun point with him struggling to pick the right answer to continue the conversation and only further alienating himself from his peers in the process, all shown through his perspective. Portray something which most people can relate with like social anxiety (especially these days), but then place it from the perspective and experience of someone being shunned from society altogether.Eight Grade had something similar, but only in certain moments.
>>220044978this logic only works if you are forced at gunpoint to make a show about a loser.where's the show about the grocery store stockboy? he's going to have to do a lot of other tasks around the store and live a life of action and consequence to make the show interesting though.

>>220045327The truth is that people dislike those with anxiety because they inherently look down on them for not being able to function on the same level, and the audiences who could relate to such immense levels of palm sweating are too small to make it worth anything to anyone.Which is why a tv show/movie about an actual incel would be incredibly unpopular, there's just nothing of value there beyond seeing an unlikable fuck-up
>>220044522cause real 'tism makes for terrible tv
>>220045551I think there are many angles where you could make it work, a lot of people can relate to being bullied or at least seeing others being bullied, the entire tiktok generation can probably relate to various forms of social anxiety.etc. And it doesn't have to a one dimensional "unlikable fuck up", make some contrast where when he's alone by himself he has a very rich inner world which he frequently gets lost in and positive qualities which he is simply unable to show to others.Sure it wouldn't be any kind of Hollywood hit, but considering what absolute niche scenarios are being made as movies nowadays surely a friendless loser loner movie isn't that much of a crazy concept
>>220045989I'm not stating this as the absolute truth since there are too many people alive today, but from my experience almost every incel/autist gets bullied because they actually deserve it. They are in fact that unlikable and their inner world is not really rich, they're dysfunctional and often just retarded in the brain intelligence-wise. The exceptions are too rare, though I can understand the appeal of capturing someone who is actually interesting but just doesn't seem to properly find his place in society, workforce, etc. I personally don't have any interest in that because like I said, all the autistic, lonely guys are very often like that for a reason, and I wouldn't want people to suddenly trust them more because there was a show that somehow makes them look better than they really are.
>>220046116>I personally don't have any interest in thatSo you just wouldn't watch it and that's it, simple as.My argument is that there are more people who would like to watch such a movie than ever before, there definitely is a market for it. And that such a subject matter can be done in an engaging way, doesn't have to be just a one dimensional misery fest.
>>220046373You're responding to a seething roastie looking for someone to take her bait. Don't bother.
>>220046373Part of me not wanting them to do this is just the cynism about the current state of the industry, realistically you would need an outsider with no creative constrains to portray someone like that in an interesting manner. If anyone gets to it and does it properly, I'd watch it. I just think there are more interesting people to show. I guess maybe some kind of hybrid of a gifted artist who still suffers from loneliness, just not BBC Sherlock Holmes tier of genius.
