Dating is all about being judgmental - you’re looking for someone that’s compatible with you. A lot of people find idolizing the Joker and Thanos not compatible with them.
I think it’s bucking the trend of idolizing villains. Not to mention the sheer size of the posters, making them far too much of their identity. Also buying a gold KAWS figure for some ungodly price was a choice…
People are attracted to these characters because they are well written tortured souls not petty misanthropes.
Joker suffers from untreated mental illness and an unrequited quest for acceptance that is relatable but something that most simply internalize and suffer with. Like Thanos there is an element of relatable humanity there but with which he reacts in the most horrible of ways.
Thanos seems almost doomed to exist. Someone or something keyed the universe to have an option to partially destruct. That this is possible via a specific programmed sequence of events implies that it was meant to happen at some point. Thanos feels the time is now - that survival requires this destruction and that he is called to enact it. Its intentionally unclear whether he is acting through evil or that his innate power calls upon him to bear a cross of necessity that serves a greater good through a horrible act.
Also it’s just fun because they are make-believe, they aren’t hurting anyone or actively encouraging anyone to do harm. It’s like being repulsed by someone playing violent videogames - such a superficial empty judgment to pass.
I married a man who likes Dragon Ball Z enough to have several of the mangas, so don’t get me wrong here. Some of this stuff doesn’t necessarily bother me personally, but there’s a certain reputation that fans of the Joker get and picking Thanos of all the Marvel characters is a choice.
Gaming is hit or miss - if someone is into gaming so much that all of their decorations are gaming related, it begs the question if they are willing to make enough time in their life for you around their hobby. And I say this as a gamer myself. It’s known to be a hobby that people dedicate a lot of time toward.
I’ll bite. Clueless. What is the joke?
imo after a certain age, you should have better role models than thanos and joker
and better taste in decor
Approximately 6 yo
Not my cup of tea, but damn that just seems really judgemental.

Some more context (I dunno if Thanos really fits this, but all those words on his poster do…)

This comment came in at the same time as yours and answers your question lol
Does it though? What indicates gamer? I think it’s more about edginess and cringiness than marvel/gamer.
Oh ok, you’re purposefully being obtuse about this then lol
Yeah the implication is that it’s cringy.
What is wrong about gaming and marvel? I don’t really know much about marvel, gaming is surely such a wide thing how can that be a problem at all?

At least gamers have a hobby. I know a few people that just don’t have anything.
Oh I totally agree! I’m a gamer as well. It can be a deal breaker for some though. That’s all.
