I think the internet attention economy has encouraged people to engage in performative cruelty online, while also finding a socially acceptable "woke" way to do it. That's why so many people are celebrating Bob's death, not because the world is actually meaningfully better without him, but because he's considered an acceptable target of people's base desire for cruelty, because he was a considered "bad person". I'm just no longer ideologically interested in whether or not anyone is a "good/bad person" it just isn't a useful or quantifiable assessment. I think it's important to gauge whether the amount of harm someone has caused is proportional to our desire to see them suffer, and I just don't see that here. Bob obviously had many abhorrent, awful opinions and statements, but ultimately he's not Trump. He's not even Ronnie Radke. He was a lonely jackass, who drove away everyone who loved him, and had no remaining fans. He wasn't the cause of any bigotry or violence, he was the symptom of a larger political machine of bigotry. That doesn't make anything he said okay, he obviously caused many people hurt, and I will never tell marginalized people they need to mourn someone who wished them harm. But I personally think it's super sad he never got to turn his life around, and instead will always be remembered for the person he was at his lowest point.

reading that reddit post, there is such a familiar vein of very male loneliness in it. 44 is just no age to go. if your first or principal reaction to learning about these events is to say some kneejerk variation of "fuck this asshole" and not, I don't know, to wonder about how long your own body will take to be noticed when you die, think about how connected you are to others in actual real life, etc, then perhaps you do not value human life as much as you think you do

the palestinian genocide is an ongoing war and genocide that is orders of magnitude more horrific than anything else going on in the world at present, and it is cheap to bring that into this conversation over someone tweeting beliefs that, while atrocious, are not even remotely close to a person hypothetically expressing glee over a genocide they are actively perpetuating. if you cannot distinguish between these, if everything blurs into one homogenous blob of resentment, then while i appreciate where you're coming from, please see my last comment. i hope you heal.

i'm not asking you to be tolerant of intolerance. i'm asking you to agree with me that people do not deserve to die for things that they say or believe, no matter how atrocious. it is an incredibly low bar and if you cannot meet it, i hope that you can eventually heal whatever is damaged within you.

Phantoms liked Richard's post in the thread Band My Chemical Romance.
Honestly it makes me sad and scares me that you think he deserved to die because of that tweet. Even if he had said what you're saying (which I think he didn't, as it seems you're referring to an undeniably inexcusable anti-BLM tweet, but you're being reductive with your portrayal of it), it's fucking scary that you think he deserved to die because of it. Where is your humanity? Like most people, I have family (parents included) with questionable political views, and frankly, poor mental health. Do they deserve to die because of their views, or the way they might voice them? Time to log off for me, I think!

It's awful and terrifying to think of dying so alone that no one knows you're dead for such an extended period of time.

Yeah, it feels kind of gross to pile on someone who just died that by all accounts was suffering from extreme mental illness and paying for some really shitty decisions he made. The “he was a Trump voter who had shitty beliefs so he deserved it” views are pretty fucked if you ask me, but that’s also what our country has come to sadly.

Nobody deserves to go out like that. Sure, by all accounts he sounds like he was a horrible person who's said some inexcusable shit (the above posts), and not speaking ill of the dead extends to how they were when alive, but I'll say it again: nobody deserves to go out like that.

Which by the way, is sick. I’d love to get a whopping paycheck to fuck around with my friends doing something I think so fun.

What if it’s just like some personal challenge for RDJ and he’s like you know what I’m gonna kill this and show I’m more than just Tony Stark and do it in the same universe that gave me Tony Stsrk? If he were to pull that off he’d be getting a ton of praise. Or he just wants money and hey who am I to judge on that because I’d probably do a lot worse for a shit ton of money

also all the disappointment about downey not sticking with “real acting” again … he made one movie lol. a desperate ploy to win an award for a movie that was basically a superhero movie. and then went right back to get a paycheck. why are people talking about him like he’s ethan hawke or something lol, dude likes being richer than god

lol thank you. i don’t think tim and i even disagree about the mcu that much. the movies before endgame mostly sucked and the ones since have been worse. just seems pretty plain this is an easy way for them to get people back in after being lost in the wilderness for nearly a decade by the time this movie drops

Tim, if you're allowed to have your cheesy Spider-adjacent 90s-style superhero films, then I think phaynes should be allowed to have his Robert Downey Jr. Doom fanfiction. Fair is fair.

Anyways, I’m intrigued. Could be fun. Movie could suck, or it could be a good shot in the arm for the franchise that’s been struggling lately. We’ll see!

i’m to believe we can have actors like tobey maguire, andrew garfield and tom holland play different versions of characters with the same name but we can’t have one actor play two characters with different names okey doke lol

what is baffling about a movie series that has been floundering since losing its best actor, that doesn’t have to explain anything away since it already has numerous universes established, bringing back that actor for one of the biggest remaining roles? it is a pretty easy thing to consider if you spend more than half a second thinking about it

I also think that just because he's "Victor Von Doom" doesn't mean he's not still a variant of Tony Stark, just that he's not called Tony Stark in the same way Sylvie wasn't called Loki.

It would be cool if it’s finally the narcissistic perfectionist Von Doom who wanted the mask because of the smallest scar and not some awful disfigurement.

RDJ pulling a Leno. He got tired of showing off his car collection and told the boss he wants back because their numbers are faltering. Obviously, RDJ is much better than Leno.

Won’t be the case but would love it if he was just Victor von Doom and not some multiverse variant nonsense. Like yeah fuck it we got RDJ to just play two entirely different major characters.
