Thought I’d share a non covid meme.
Whoever created this meme has zero respect for nihilism and hedonism, and misplaced hatred of the mentally ill, and that’s a damn shame.
Then so do their creators, because Chuck Palahniuk and Justin Roiland have flatly said outright that Tyler Durden and Rick Sanchez are not people to be emulated in any shape or fashion because they *are* the negative aspects of their own lives.
hey here have some alternatives to these jerkfaces
you want a nihilist? you want someone in constant existential despair, who believes everything he does is functionally meaningless?
bam. done
you want neurodivergence?
he’s worth idolizing
so’s she
so’s he
so’s he
heck, if you want mental illness, this guy canonically has schizophrenia and complex PTSD, and despite his…unique career choices, even he’s better than the Joker:
and you want hedonism? why aren’t you idolizing her?:
what i’m saying is, there are a lot of heroes we could be hanging out with if we could just kick our habit of adoring assholes
I’m really tired of edgelords misunderstanding nihilism to excuse their shitty personalities.
