The post drew close to 100,000 responses – a jokey back-and-forth about the deeper meanings of Jennifer Kent’s 2014 independent film that prompted one user to complain it was “JUST A MOVIE.”

“A movie about a gay man who just wants to live his life in a small Australian suburb?” replied the original poster, “ianstagram”, from Boston. “It may be ‘just a movie’ to you but to the LGBT community the Babadook is a symbol of our journey.”

I don't care but it's completely stupid lol. I think it's kinda taking away the message of the movie which is about dealing with mental issues, grieving a lost one, and so on...so people can create an image they want

Idk just weird

Isn't this just because Netflix accidentally listed it under Gay movies?

When people start telling me what they "feel" a movie's message was I just quit listening. I let them know that I really don't care if it had a deeper meaning and if they keep talking I usually just walk away.

He's literally one of the laziest sellouts in the business. Copypaste art, lifted jokes, unnecessary pannels and dialogue while lacking a complete grasp of timing, and he caters super hard to current trends for a boost in relevancy. Guy's a total hack.

It's as much an LGBT icon as Pepe the Frog is an AltRight icon. They're not. It's just a meme joke thing that few of those few are actually in on.

Not a real symbol, just a meme. It was written to represent grief and the effects/feelings of depression.
