I think what really got me is that pretty much everyone goes out of their way to be as mean to Arthur as possible, in big ways like being physically assaulted or humiliated live on TV, or in small ways like that lady who yells at him on the bus while he's entertaining her son. Even Alfred is a jerk in this universe! Arthur is just one of those people the world hates and seems to take great enjoyment from making his life a misery at every opportunity. Even after all of that, Joker isn't totally irredeemable yet. He let Gary leave his apartment, even though he could have easily reported the crime he witnessed to the police.

I feel like I'm one of "those people the world hates" too. It's why I lack confidence at this point. No matter what I do, people hate me. People just love shitting on me for whatever reason, though thankfully I haven't been physically assaulted the way Arthur was... twice. I'm just glad I have friends and family. Because they're really my only exceptions - without them, I'd probably lose my mind.

There's a reason I found that one pretty depressing in some ways. Even talked to my therapist about it... that might be why I wasn't feeling like watching anything in particular tonight.

P.S. Glad you enjoyed it to some effect. Not sure on that theory though... haven't seen any of the DCEU since I haven't heard much good about it.
