Leave.

Fleeave

Flee, and if I get cut off fiiiiiight.

it could be worse. it could be jared leto's joker and a funko pop underneath it.

Almost bought a house from a guy but decided the prominently displayed oil painting of The Joker indicated he would not hesitate to fuck me over somehow.

Who is the gold statuette with the Krusty hair?

Fight. Gonna be a glass chin.

It’s a reference to the artist KAWS, and this specific Mickey Mouse with X instead of each eye, is called Companion.

Artist is named KAWS. The artist is a contemporary artist that uses brand icons, like the Mickey Mouse looking statue on the desk. It’s all very cheap and empty art that I guess some people eat up. He basically just slaps the stupid skull on everything and calls it “art”. Tons of merchandising, very capitalistic.

Hey at least there's posters on the wall and an attempt to make the space livable! And he offered her a cold drink!

I loved hanging out with the single bachelors in my slut phase, but good lord, most of those guys were very content with a single chair and a TV in their apartment and only those things.

Are we sure there's even gonna be a chin?

Thanks!

I read the Wikipedia article and it doesn't mention social politics or why a chud would be into KAWS.

Anyone?

Fuck. They've evolved a natural immunity where instead of a chin it's a ski slope .

I updated my response to you, but the artist is very notoriously apolitical and really has no message behind their art. Their art basically only exists to sell collectibles and merchandise while appearing trendy. It’s all empty capitalistic garbage.

Have to admit, before I wanted a partner, I needed to build a proper "nest" to impress any potential mates. Got a home theater setup. All the right accoutrements and candles. Nice dishes, furniture, the works. I had designs to slay so much after I was done with the place. The only person I ever brought home ended up marrying me.

Before that? Mattress on the floor. One desk and chair for the computer. Didn't even have a TV.

Furniture-wise, what are we even looking at, though?

I think I see a dresser on the left and a green couch on the bottom right that appears to be pointed at a randomly placed refrigerator. Maybe it's a bed, but I think the shape is more like a couch. So, that's furniture from a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen, all in one room.

Even for a studio apartment, this would be a very weird arrangement of furniture.

"Come, sit on this couch so we can stare at my refrigerator."

Before that? Mattress on the floor. One desk and chair for the computer. Didn’t even have a TV.

It can be very practical to live like that when you're on your own! I get it haha.

The only person I ever brought home ended up marrying me.

Damn, maybe you found your alternative career if the current one fails!

This is the advice men need to hear. Cleanliness and a hand towel go a long way, too. Also no one wants to fuck in a smelly apartment, clean your damn cat box.

The fridge with nothing but beer and condiments is accurate.

Ah, so I'm guessing he's an Alpha artist because he's commercially successful despite being artistically bankrupt, and that's appealing to the chuds?

The couch could be pointing the opposite way to face something on the left side of the door past the key holder, like a wall mounted sword

A trashcan in the bathroom let me know my husband was the one.

But that just turns a chin punch into a throat punch...not a very good defense mechanism.

Pretty much.

That's kinda bleak

How do people both simultaneously shame men for understanding and not understanding women's needs?

LOL wall mounted sword. Too accurate.

Punch them in the neck.

I think this more of a bar in hell thing. Who wouldn't have a trashcan in the bathroom? A demon.

Sorry I meant it as a comment on the state of men not the person I replied to

Poster child for the horrible dangers of inbreeding right there

Armored vehicle designers learned this decades ago

Thermobarics were designed to clean that up fast

If they didn't care about home décor and just wanted to get laid, and the lack of home décor didn't prevent them from getting laid, it sounds like they had things figured out pretty well.

As much as I loved Heath Ledger's Joker on screen, seeing it on anything else is so cringe. I know at least 2 people with Joker tattoos and they are exactly the kind of person you would assume.

Two way street - I wanted to get laid and the lack of home decor didn’t prevent me from riding that dick hahaha. Win win!

At least the lack of decorations helped hide any concerning fandoms!

My mother filled my apartment with furniture and nice pictures. Made me look normal. I never understood why until my eventual wife came over and then moved in. The space is very important

My partner is rather autistic and part of that is not caring about how his surroundings look. Very practical person. He doesn't understand why I like having our house decorated, but he does understand that it makes me happy and he likes when I'm happy. It works out nicely sometimes!

I hate most Hollywood movies, especially super hero stuff.

But shouldn't you judge people on who they are, rather than the shows/media they enjoy? He's clearly been nice/fun enough for her to go back to his place... Maybe she needs to be less judgemental on the small stuff.

"You like media/stuff I don't like" probably isn't a good reason to get out of there. Plenty of shitty people have good taste, plenty of good people have bad or generic taste.

Did he?

The irony of the Joker next to that Thanos poster. That poster is everything the Joker tries to burn to the ground.

True. But also: Plenty of people with Red Flag personality traits/behaviours/tendencies/outspoken thoughts can be charming, smart, funny (other desirable qualities) within the first few days or even weeks. After which their 'true colours' are revealed. I think this is what this comic is trying to illustrate.

Edit to add: it's not just about the media. It's the villains that are represented and represent very specific ideals.

The shows and media you enjoy is who you are. Get anyone's top 100 and you will know a lot more about them than you could with a hour conversation.

There was a song about it.

That famous beer and mustard diet.

I can't even do a top 2. What am I?

Don't worry - those who ascribe to alpha/beta/sigma mentality don't know what cognitive dissonance is.

I think this is not about enjoying comic book movies, instead it is about idolizing anti-heroes. If this comic showed a third poster I would expect to see Walter White, not Spiderman.

People who look up to anti-heroes tend to rank low in morality, empathy, and trustworthiness. It's a red flag.

It's not that we were content, it's simply what we could afford.

That's the reality of late stage capitalism, it can take years until you can save enough money for the basics. I couldn't afford a couch until I was 30! Until then I had to put up with lawn chairs and bean bags. My credit card limit was only $500 when I was young, and we didn't have Affirm yet because it was the early 2010s; if I didn't have the cash, I couldn't buy it! So needless to say, decorations aren't exactly the priority when you can't even afford furniture!
