    Yeah, I was mostly being silly. But I really, really hate that movie.

    I am not kidding, I legitimately wrote an over-3000 word post about why I disliked Her, blaming it for the rise of film bro culture and highlighting it as one of the first pieces of incel media. But I accidentally triggered my quit-all hotkey and my draft post got deleted.

    Which is probably good, but still. The gist was: I viscerally dislike Her, it found a huge audience with men in 2013 whose guiding philsophy was 'I am not my actions or behaviours; I am my thoughts, and my thoughts are nice. If only someone could understand them, I'd get the girl [their term] that I deserve.'

    And then some more about how Spike Jonze sucks, a factoid about Scarlett Johannson appearing in two movies about the same divorce, and a plea for everyone who is subjected to the sachharine bullshit of Her to go watch Lost in Translation to see Sofia Coppola's depiction of Her's director.

    I also had a really cool bit about how the protagonist in the film literally buys a newborn sentient woman to do all the stuff he doesn't want to do and has a romantic relationship with her, years before the discussion about consent in power-imbalanced siutations had reached the mainstream. Her presents it as a love story, I view it as horror.

    Anyway, my perfectly worded and extremely convincing very-long-post is now lost to time, but if people had have read it, they all definitely would have agreed with me. (Just in case, /s)
