Fact that calling them weird registers more with people than reminding them that they literally made “institute a fascist dystopia.” their platform.

Open carry is one of those things that I didn’t care about until jackasses started getting really loud about it. When I was a kid it wasn’t out of the ordinary during hunting season to see people with firearms everywhere. There were kids at school with gun racks in their trucks. There were hunters in their gear getting coffee overnight at our only convenience store. No one was threatened, it was just people with gear they were planning on using that day. When the open carry debate first got rolling I just didn’t understand what the big fucking deal was.

Then the open carry folks started opening their mouths. I went from being somewhere between ambivalent to slightly on the side of what I thought were the hunters to being rabidly against it. These motherfuckers were out threatening minimum wage workers, brandishing, threatening to shoot people who disagreed with them, and generally being douche canoes.

I fucking hate the people advocating for open carry.

Riddler was my least favorite aspect of The Batman, probably one of the worst portrayals of a villain ever for Batman. And it’s not that the idea was bad, it felt like Spacey’s Seven character in some ways, and felt like what a “modern” supervillain might be like, just the actor themself made me cringe anytime they were on screen, their voice and dialogue just sounded dumb. Maybe that was the intended effect, but it was annoying more than sinister. He doesn’t need to parade around in a question-mark green business suit, but I wish they could’ve handled the character a bit better. The concept was good, I liked that, just the execution seemed off.
