Great to hear @BretEastonEllis bash Zero Dark Thirty. US's use of torture in the 2000s was as morally unjustifiable as it was ineffective.

@BretEastonEllis ...says the author whose protagonist shoved a rat in a woman's vagina for the purposes of having her eaten from the inside. -
@MrButterChicken@BretEastonEllis I got the feeling we weren't supposed to cheer PB at that point. Unlike the soldiers in ZDT. -
@remingtonwild You don't think "morally indefensible" might be a little extreme and should perhaps be used sparingly when talking about art? -
@MrButterChicken Yeah, that's probably a bit much. Since art is fiction I don't think it's always subject to the same rules. -
@remingtonwild I just think people cut Ellis a lot of slack on his controversial material, and he might want to return the favour. - 1 more reply

@BretEastonEllis People who like American Psycho and Less than Zero should admit they are perverted, immoral freaks. -
@lokar20 People who are dumb enough to write such rubbish should shut their mouth and go back to school. I mean seriously, get brain! -
@yossarian81 You see, what I was doing there was taking Bret's ridiculous logic for ZDT and applying it to his work in a humorous fashion. -
@lokar20 I see, sorry for my agressive comment, but American Psycho is one of the bravest piece of writing I've ever read. -
@yossarian81 After the attacks on morality he got for that book, you'd think he'd be more conscious of calling a film morally indefensible. -
@lokar20 What does it even mean "morally indefensible"? -
@yossarian81 That it is so immoral you cannot defend it on any moral grounds. -
@lokar20 But you can defend almost everything by usin fictional arguments. This is called propaganda. I heard Goebbels was quite good at it. - 5 more replies
