I have a rule of thumb about certain media. If you like Rick and Morty, Joker, Donnie Darko or Fight Club that's okay. But if any of those are you FAVORITE that's a low key red flag where I am gonna ask you to explain why...
Those aren't bad shows/movies, but they all feature very arrogant, can't-be-bothered-with-dummies, over the top rude men. It's a very edgy teenage immature thing to adore thess characters for the wrong reasons. It would never be a deal breaker, but it certainly isn't appealing.
Fight Club is so funny to me because most of the people who "love it so fuckin much" missed the point entirely. And I love it so fuckin much, but I'm a big Chuck Palahniuk fan and actually got what the book and movie were going for.
