breaking bad, fight club, rick and morty, clockwork orange, and the catcher in the rye are all arguably good things - but if a man says they are his FAVORITE book/movie/tv show? RUN.

Can someone explain this to me?

They’re all works that are examinations of compelling but deeply flawed (usually narcissistic and violent) men. People rightly like all these works because they are good, but the implication of the original post is that if a guy says they are his favorite work, he is probably misunderstanding the point of the work and instead idolizing the male protagonist and is unable to recognize their flaws.

Basically, ask why they like it. If they like it because they think it’s well-written and made, you’re probably good. But if they want to be like Walter White, or Tyler Durden, or Rick Sanchez, or Alex DeLarge, or Holden Caulfield: yeah, RUN.

Finally I can reblog this post.

This also goes for Mad Men, run like hell from any guy who identifies with/idolizes Don Draper

“It’s a satire. Many don’t get that… My daughter had a friend named Max. She told me ‘Fight Club’ is his favorite movie, I told her never to talk to Max again.” David Fincher, director of Fight Club 

….can I add It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and BoJack Horseman

^oh big mood. I love Bojack Horseman because the characters are flawed as fuck and I relate to Bojack as a self-destructive mentally ill person, but god fuck do NOT talk to anyone who idolises that shit.

Today in art history class we learned about Victorian weeaboos.

That is, people in the Victorian era who were obsessed with Japan. It was called Japonisme. 

I had to try really hard to not die in class.

“Young Ladies Looking At Japanese Objects”

(yes, it’s really called that. James Tissot, 1869)

This wasn’t a purely British phenomenon. Some of the earliest artifacts in the Smithsonian Institute are a bunch of literal garbage that commodore Perry brought back from japan.

“I’ll have you know i come from a long line of trash weebs”

Japonisme was also a magazine produced to share aesthetics between France and Japan.
