The way people are talking about the Alex Meyers review I was expecting it to be a lot worse. What did I miss?
>>
>>221829037
His take was reasonable and level-headed, so his mostly female fanbase turned on him. It didn't help that, apparently, the main girl from the movie shit on his take as well. I watched it when it came out, and I knew this very milquetoast take would get shit on even before I read the comments. And I didn't even like Bear or like what happened to whatsherface, and I'm a KHV Incel.

I don't even disagree with the sentiment that Bear is a rapist like a lot of you guys do but even so, so much discussion of this film seems to boil down to people saying "Bear UGGHHHH!" and replying "Bear, UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!". There's more going on here than the main character not being a good dude, so why are people so obsessed with constantly signalling that they disapprove of him?

Hylic goycattle nonbeings hinge the entirety of their existential "morality" on the arbitrary feefees of females. It was big psy-op of the 2012-2023 era of clownworld and a lot of useless proles failed to detach from it.

He is insulting the fans of the movie/his own audience. Transcript:
""But remember, this sub attracts the most obsessed fans of the movie. They flex about watching it at the theater like 10 times already. They make several posts a day about it. They make crazy overanalysis and theories that have no ground in the reality of the film, etc.

It's not just a movie for them. They're incredibly emotionally invested and attached to an unhealthy degree. It's almost cultish at this point.

And people who are chronically online or addicted to a piece of media aren't the most emotionally stable or media literate to begin with. So, a lot of it comes from an emotional standpoint. Hence the refusal to engage with the material in good faith and just making it say what they want the movie to say in an over-the-top sanctimonious dogmatic way. It's like a ritual for them, a catharsis.""

Calling your own audience emotionally unstable and chronically online and a bunch of other random insults for not agreeing with your take on a movie. He was literally asking for the backlash. All his other videos just tell the movie plots and joke about the plot, for whatever reason here he decides to keep going on and on insulting his fans or discussing morals instead of the movie.

Normie cattle don't understand any kind of nuance and parrot whatever the "community" affirms. Bear is "an incel rapist villain" beacuse the community calls him that, and any take that tries to argue against that is le bad and problematic and the person who said it needs to be heckin cancelled.

I haven’t watched the movie, but isn’t Bear just making the best out of a bad situation? My understanding is that the only way to reverse the wish is by killing himself or Nikki. Bear also didn’t know that magic was real when he made the wish.

If this is true, then females are implying that Bear should kill himself for accidentally voicing a wish. Even if he rejects Nikki’s advances and is the model of what a male feminist should be — his only moral option is to kill himself.

I’m not sure what I can take from that other than:
>”The perfect male feminist is one who never gets his dick wet, and then kills himself.”
>>
Are women truly more sapient than the average AI chatbot? Are their interpretations of art (and morality for that matter) TRULY a result of a "conscious" inner-life? Are you sure they have an "inner-life"? These are important questions that will haunt the age we're entering. So you better start contemplating on them now before you get buck broken

Satan rules the world and pic related is an example. Men who fall into pic related are like an alien to me. Prioritizing squealing flabby fleshbags that like to get choked in bed is something that is so ridiculous and funny but also nauseating.

If Bear was a head taller and had a stronger jawline no women would call him an incel rapist villain. They would all call him a misunderstood victim of the manosphere or something.
It's actually insane how bad the discussion with goycattle has gone. You would think from reading the comments online, that Bear was a serial rapist who locks up Nikki in some twisted rape dungeon.

it's been 5 more years of women constantly spouting their unprovoked misandry, it's only normal that this would start to annoy men and turn them away

he acts like a bitch from start to finish, when Freaky Nikki acts crazy he's on the floor almost weeping and going "you are scaring meee :(" and even in the end he doesn't have the balls to shoot himself and he chooses to take a bunch of pills like a woman. Women don't like him because he's effeminate and craven

You're laboring under the false idea that any of these people have any interest in engaging with the film itself. These are all secondaries. The point is to engage only with the debate and discussion surrounding the work and demonstrate to anyone who will listen what your positions are. Once again secondaries ruin something that could otherwise have been interesting.

>the director has explicitly confirmed
Funny. The postmodern left is always talking about death of the author and how the interpretation of the reader stemming from muh lived experience overrides the author’s intent, especially when the author isn’t politically aligned with them. Go talk about the intent of a dead white male like Tolkien and see how far that gets you

He could have just gone back to the wish shop and gotten someone else to make a wish for him to cancel it out, as he eventually attempts. For much of the film he doesn't actually want to cancel the wish and values his having Nikki, in whatever form that takes, over her own wellbeing and autonomy, which he shows by initially wanting to just alter his wish over outright undoing it. For much of the film the focus isn't on Bear at all but on Nikki being scary, but the point where Bear doesn't even seem to consider killing her when she begs for it and makes it all about him makes it clear where his real motives lie.

All that said, for much of the movie the narrative is placed on Nikki with Bear spending the majority of it just begging her to be normal or telling others she is normal. He's an extremely passive character and he really isn't explored that much, so I feel like people project their own opinions on the situation broadly into his character, either as the endlessly selfish and malevolent rapist, or the victim of the wish. He still is a rapist regardless, but I think the film deliberately presents itself in such a way where his response to the situation is insidious instead of just being obviously bad from the outset. As much as people talk about the narrative and the characters as though they have some kind of depth, much of the movie is just a monster movie with Nikki as the monster and Bear as the victim, it's only towards the end that it reframes the events of the film by giving Bear a clear opportunity to end it and the knowledge of how he's harming the real Nikki, only for him to pass it up. The movie as a whole is not some character study of Bear though. I suppose if you're feeling generous you could maybe say his passivity and inaction while still being a bad guy is supposed to be a reflection of the 'nice guy' who seems innocuous on the surface but his cowardice is just a cover for his ignoble and selfish heart.

>Same I was a longtime watcher and I fell off after the heated rivalry video (some WEIRD ass takes in that one) and unsubbed after the obsession one, pretty convinced now that his ‘haha idk how to talk to women’ self deprecation shtick is just him being a for real misogynist.

Can we please put them into camps?
>>
>>221832121
Yes, we are no white knights.
>>
>>221832351
yeah I think that a big point of the movie is how much he hesitated before he even tried to nullify the wish. For all we know it might not have worked because of some demonic bullshit, but the fact is that he didn't even try until things had gotten really desperate because his wish of Nikki loving him, even if forcefully, was genuine.
This is what girls see in Bear, a guy too timid to even approach you but who would take advantage of you if given the chance

> being a bad guy is supposed to be a reflection of the 'nice guy' who seems innocuous on the surface but his cowardice is just a cover for his ignoble and selfish heart.
Have women really convinced themselves that “nice guys” are actively malevolent instead of just a turn-off? And why do I feel like “nice guys” is increasingly a euphemism for white dudes who are also frequently portrayed as being more malevolent than they actually are?

Pattern recognition area of my brain is going brrrrrrrr.

>>221832422
> This is what girls see in Bear, a guy too timid to even approach you
This is all it takes to make women hate your existence and want you to die btw. The part about them secretly wanting to take advantage of you is something women made up to reinforce the delusion.

Bear put up with her disgusting shit. He tried to cancel the wish.

HOW is he the bad guy again?
>>
>I watched this video. He’s actually disgusting. Years ago when I watched his Disney videos, he always gave off a Nice Guy vibe, very “nice guys finish last.”

>He constantly downplayed the evilness of Bear while sexualising Nikki. His main deflection point was that Bear was a villain but he wasn’t always a villain and he didn’t know any better. Meanwhile he said “to his credit” when talking about Bear not immediately assaulting Nikki. Called Nikki a “crystal Latina mommy.”

>Apparently he didn’t call the rape scene “rape” in his so-called apology video either. Just mentioned it in a pinned braindead comment. It was also a very “I’m sorry you got offended” video.

>And to no one’s surprise, men in the comments were all supporting him, saying it’s “just a movie, move on” or “why can’t you accept his opinion on the movie” or “feminists and LGBTQ channels are attacking you now, ignore them” when it’s pretty clear his opinions are dangerously misogynistic.

>I’m glad this movie is like a litmus test to separate men you should stay away from in your life if they ever sympathise with Bear.

>From what I’ve learned he’s also almost 40, divorced once and broken up with by his gf now. Good on the ladies.

Why are women like this
>>
>>221829528
rape is basically cuck porn but for women.
>>
>>221832565
if a woman is suffering and you don't kill yourself asap, you are a bad guy for wanting to live.
>>
>>221832793
Yeah it’s basically a “you really should have just killer yourself” moment by the women, which is especially sickening considering men commit suicide far more than women.

This movie IS a litmus test, but not in the way that women think it is.

The way the character is villainized has become so exagerated.

Picrel has the same theme about magical wishes. The main character also deprives a love interest of his consent and does it knowingly, unlike Bear. She causes multiple deaths and continues even after knowing the magical item trades wishes against lives. She also tries to cancel everything at the end, like Bear, but only because the box killed her Dad, she didn't care about the other deaths. Both MCs die at the end, but unlike Bear she didn't even plan to sacrifice herself.

Still Bear is considered worse?

>>221829333
Which if they watched the guy actually they wouldve already know how he was in highschool before he had confidence.
Alex identifies with young loser male characters and thats the truth.
I say that as someone who watches him.
Honestly dude just spends too much time sexualizing his bare bones animations.
He shouldn't have apologized he should have doubled down.
He's a weirdo but funny at times.

>>221832539
in the case of Bear it's true but in general yeah, they are not allowed to just say that they find shyness unattractive otherwise other women will judge them so instead they tell themselves that the nice guy is clearly a creep
