I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

Being in a romantic relationship with a child is forgivable and stalking emotionally distant women is cool.

Which is what a sex criminal Hollywood type would have got from the comic book

i dont think anyone in the movie ever condones his dating a high schooler, its supposed to be weird and loser behavior (hes a weird loser) and I dont think they ever even kiss.
