I watched fight club for the first time in 10 years recently. I’ll tell you that movie hits different when you’re 20, 30 or 40. I remember in my 20s it all seemed so cool and badass, now that I’m 40 I see now that they’re a bunch of incel losers with toxic masculinity and a lack of self awareness.

They are a bunch of losers, but their plights are very legitimate. That's how a charismatic cult leader swoops in and radicalises them.

We have a number of real world examples of that. The most current one being Andrew Tate.

The point was to not worship these people. The point was driven better in the book, the movie was more anti-capitalist than the book.

Chuck P was a gay man. The movie takes the homoeroticism to levels that would have been laughable if Palahnuik had written them.

Why does the narrator ignore Marla? BECAUSE HES GAY
