MODERATORS
I haven't seen The Joker, but nothing in The Matrix says what the far right thinks/pretends to think it does.
That a bunch of brainwashed wingnuts choose to use the central themes of resistance against forced conformity and oppression to justify checks notes forced conformity and oppression, is not the fault of the movie, much less a producer who probably had no narrative influence.
There is nothing in the first one that explicitly promotes right wing narratives.
Haven't seen the second one, but I am strongly confident that the same applies as well.
I think it’s more like people thinking Patrick Bateman is the hero in American Psycho and not the villain. Not saying it makes sense. But here we are.
