Zack Snyder on his politics

A person who works in Hollywood leans left politically, also...Water is wet.

I think a large part of why a number of conservative/anti-SJW people tried to claim Snyder as one of their own is for the same reason that they celebrated a movie like Joker. Certain left wing people tried to claim that Snyder’s movies are problematic and right wing propaganda, and since Snyder traditionally hasn’t been as open about his politics as someone like Joss Whedon, people just assumed that must have meant that he is a conservative. The fact that he said he wanted to do an adaptation of The Fountainhead, probably added fuel to this idea, even though Brie Larson is also a fan of that book, and Snyder has even said that he doesn’t view it as a political story.

It might be worth pointing out that 300, which has always been seen as the biggest example of how problematic and reactionary Snyder’s movies are, is actually told through the perspective of a Spartan general who’s trying to rally up a bunch of troops. When you factor that in with how over the top and fantastical the movie is, it can easily be argued that it’s actually meant to be seen as outrageous propaganda that’s not supposed to be taken at face value. I don’t know for sure if that’s what Snyder was going with, but I’ve seen other people who have made that argument in recent years, and considering what Snyder has recently shared about his politics and beliefs, I’m inclined to believe there’s some truth to that.

As an aide, I never understood why Joker (both the character and the movie) are associated with the far right.

Or why he’s associated with incels.

The far left don't think straight white men have any actual problems and anything that says they do is dangerous.

The far right like anything the far left hate.

For a moment Joker was associated with the left because he burned money in that one scene and the far right thought centrist president Obama was a socialist and that's what socialists do.

The film Joker is the only actual socialist take on the character, but everyone is too buried in identity politics to notice.

I've never gone from loving a movie to making 100 videos about it being shit, but I guess if the money is right enough.

It's even less far off from a businessman recognizing the market potential of something and cashing in.

I had no idea about the Geeks + Gamers thing. Damn, my respect for Snyder just skyrocketed. Those people are literally pieces of s**t.

Yet you talk about them a great deal whenever the opportunity presents itself and you give them views on their videos.

Also those "literally pieces of s**t" raised a TON of money on suicide prevention and were at the time of the live stream near the top of the list of communities that was raising the most money for the charity, which is one of if not the sole reason why Zack Snyder said the organization was not associated with Geeks + Gamers offering separation. 

But go ahead and join moviebuffbrad in acting like the morally superior people in the world.
