The Fight Club take here is nothing new which is presumably why he doesn't unpack it but this is a *wild* Breaking Bad reading. Basically asserts that the "Skyler is such a drag" people had the show completely correcthttps://twitter.com/jasonwblakely/status/1461526487887081475 …

It does speak to the frequent failure of the sort of cultural critique of film/tv that tries to show the flaws of a particular model of toxic masculinity but can't help in indulging the 'coolness' of it.

Of course that doesn't disqualify the originals as art, but it speaks to the difficulty of critiquing toxic gender roles 'from the inside' as it were: parts of society will simply read the critique as glorification.

Yeah I was bringing this up here and at this point I think it's unavoidable. One doesn't want to romanticize abhorrent stuff but at this point it's clear no amount of underlining the message will guarantee it gets throughhttps://twitter.com/PetreRaleigh/status/1462127531885277184?t=6BphJCWfGzwMkxbvS4PgSw&s=19 …
The Raleigh and the Ivy lisäsi,
The Raleigh and the Ivy @PetreRaleighMore important I think to accept that a good, knotty engagement with the mythos of a given regime of masculinity is inevitably going to produce people who totally miss the point, rather than suggesting that those people completely made up what they're seeingNäytä tämä ketju1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 1 tykkäys -

So the problem I have is we get these endless subversions of this model of masculinity but what they never come with is an alternative model of masculinity that is shown to be capable or effective or cool or to be imitated. I think that is the weakness of the subversion.

They almost implicitly offer this choice between the cool, effective but also toxic and frankly evil masculinity, but there's never a character outside of it who is ALSO effective and cool. At best you have Breaking Bad's Hank, not figuring out the obvious for season...

...after season and then being killed before he has the chance to actually, you know, bring down a drug kingpin. Instead, they hide in the cynicism of essentially positing that only evil, toxic men can really 'hack it' in such a difficult word (see also Thrones, Game of)
