Not looking to discuss politics. I’m just trying to find the humour in left-wing mainstream comedy.

I’ve tried watching at least 30 movies and as far as I can tell it’s the same two tropes. Someone who is usually smart does something obviously stupid or they are uninformd about something and everyone is shocked that they just don’t get it with a “seriously bro” type of comment. Or the other trope when someone who is super serious becomes upset because someone shocked them with their progressive views with a “yeah that’s how it’s done” type of comment.

What’s funny about that?

    There will be a break in the action because someone did something silly and other people in the scene have to comment on it with the “seriously bro” type of comment.

    I can’t figure out how this is even remotely “leftist.” It has absolutely nothing to do with any political leaning, left or otherwise.

      If anything marvel movies are the most neutral I’ve seen! They go out of their way to try not to offend anyone. Part of the reason I think they’re kinda boring lol

        This is a leftist behavior.

          Aren’t you the same person who more or less said that you found It’s Always Sunny to be too offensive for you to watch?

      leftists often engage in shaming of their friends for not being with the times
