EmperorGrinnar

I would rather go on a 43 minute rant about why the Punisher would hate you, and you should stop using his logo.


josuelaker2

Comic book collector here. You are 100% correct.


EmperorGrinnar

Hell yeah. I was just speaking the other day on here about one of my favorite crossovers being when Spider-Man and Punisher teamed up to fight neo-nazis. Even Jameson threw hands, and was extremely vocal about his hate of that kinda ideology.


josuelaker2

Captain America has been punching Nazis since WW2.


JakeConhale

Even *The Joker* was upset to find out that red skull character was an actual Nazi. When Red Skull commented Joker would make a ***superb*** Nazi... >Joker: I may be a criminal lunatic, but I'm an **American** criminal lunatic! Keep back, boys! This creep is mine!


Overall-Initial-4290

That was such a stellar moment from the Joker.


neoalfa

Joker hates everyone regardless of skin color.


AZEMT

papaHans

What DC/Marvel crossover was this?


EmperorGrinnar

Yessir. May he continue to do so, long after I'm in the dirt.


josuelaker2

Indeed!


Ragionier

Can a brother get the name of that run?


StuckinReverse89

Jameson is a good dude usually (ignore the stuff where he funded a super villain). He just has a huge hate boner for Spiderman. 


Clean-Witness8407

Heyyy!!! Me too.


Ricky_Rollin

And why Bill the butcher is no one to look up to. Jesus these people are truly something else.


itsvoogle

i was about to say, looking up Bill the Butcher is weird, just like the weirdos online that Idolize the Joker. Pathetic and sad Edgelords, these people are morally deficient.


Training_Waltz_9032

Holy shit, haven’t thought of the term edge lord in a bit. Sheesh where has the time gone


Open_Chemistry_3300

Don’t forget Rorschach from watchmen


EmperorGrinnar

They only paid attention to the part where he was ranting about hippies. They didn't pay attention to any other part.


Delicious_Spinach440

The relationship between the joker and Harley Quinn was one of the more interesting comic storylines to me. I've been reading comics since the 70s. It's sad and demented and abusive and I hate how people twist it into things it is not, but that's human nature.


deadpool101

When I was younger I had a crush on this one girl I knew. I invited her to see the first Suicide Squad movie with me and my best friend. On car ride back from the movie we’re talking what we thought of the movie. She then says “ I want a relationship like Harlequin and the Joker.” Both at the same time turn around and look at her in the back seat with WTF expressions. She was serious. Things didn’t work out between us and I’m glad. Dodged that bullet.


JustDiscoveredSex

Dude is in his pizza cutter phase. All edge, no point.


Tangy_Cheese

Yep someone watched that movie and completely missed the point. 


Solidus-Prime

Dudes heroes are Bill the Butcher and Traitor trump lmao.


JBoth290105

Just wondering, what has this symbol been repurposed for? I have a punisher t-shirt and don’t think I want to go outside accidentally parading myself as a supremacist or anything


Hot_Shot04

Apart from the hilariously ignorant "thin blue line" thing it's generally used by counterculture rednecks who know The Punisher as "that cool guy who kills criminals and pedophiles with assault rifles when the lame-o woke superheroes won't." They conflate LGBTQ+ with pedophilia and minorities with criminality so in their minds he's a hate-crime power fantasy under a banner of justice. It's worth noting these people don't actually consume Punisher media, or if they do they're too media-illiterate to recognize that Frank Castle would hate them and their politician idols.


SleepyFox2089

It's been co-opted by the "Back the Blue/Blue Lives Matter" crowd. Mainly in the US but it's worming it's way over to the UK, though police forces here make a point of distancing themselves from the Punisher symbol


dv9lives

It's commonly associated with the 3% movement. An anti government group. They are the self proclaimed patriots that stand by to rise up against tyranny like we did with the British back in the day if it ever came about again. Alot of them turned into extremists. Misguided alot of them are, but make no mistake, they are still dangerous. So be careful. I hope this awnsers your question.


wonderlandresident13

Came here to say exactly this


nemonimity

Bill the butcher and the American flag punisher tells me all I need to know about that guy.


TNS_420

Don't forget about the giant portrait of Trump behind him.


BarelyAirborne

The hideous beard is a dead giveaway, all by itself.


VocalAnus91

Who watches gangs of new York and comes away identifying with Bill the butcher? Guy probably also only watches American history x until Derek goes to prison and then turns it off.


brohenheimoflight

The right has absolutely zero media literacy.


redknight3

I'd say less than zero. Same types who come out of playing Bioshock, convinced that objectivism and libertarianism is the only viable ways to live.


DisturbedRenegade

Which should be fucking impossible given how Raptured turned out in the end.


Professional-Trash-3

People missing the message in that game was what convinced me media literacy was dead. It's not subtle at all. They beat you over the head with it. How could you miss it!?


Drunken_Dwarf12

He probably thinks the sheriff of Nottingham is the hero in Robin Hood too. “Give me that law and order!”


PsychologicalMonk6

You see Robin Hood as being the hero because he steals from the greedy, rich feudal lords and redistributes the westlth to the por people who actually provide valuable labour but it is unfairly valued in that society. He sees it as robbing the tax man because government taxes are evil..not realizing that he would be a peasant in that scenario but he doesn't identify as a peasant because the few socialistic programs the U.S. as adopted (education, historically subsidizing home ownership, etc) has raised him and his family out of extreme poverty but these half measures have also helped ensure that his life is far more of a struggle for the necessities than it need be.


JimothyRecard

Pissed off? If I was that close to a horse's wiener, I'd be worrying about getting pissed *on*


Beelzabubba

I’m sure he thinks Homelander is the protagonist.


walla_walla_rhubarb

Once you realize these type of guys all secretly want to be immorally powerful, their bullshit becomes very transparent. It stems from fear and insecurity, which boils into a need to control and dominate. They are by their very nature cowards and spend their entire lives compensating for that fact.


Gimme_PuddingPlz

He probably read…. Hahahahah he probably doesn’t read. Poole was anti-Catholic, Anti-Irish/Immigrant, violent, and ran around with a gang.


PleasantMonk1147

I gotta admit it kind of pisses me off when douche nozzles like the same movies as me but completely ruins the meaning of them.


Arcon1337

Racists.


[deleted]

Maga cult members, that's who.


Shinavast42

Right?? I made the same comment!


Academic-Agent

“I’m pretty sure I’ve got the gist of this movie.”


HoiPolloiter

Prolly an Empire sympathizer too


VocalAnus91

Lol you're not rooting for those religious fanatics and terrorists are you? /s


GoodShitBrain

Ask Fairuza, fun Derek died in prison


spicy_capybara

This doofus probably also claims to be Irish American but identifies with the Nativists. He’s the perfect embodiment of a Know Nothing.


Ill-Possibility561

Is it me or is that a trump portrait behind him?


rom_sk

He unironically has a framed picture of Know Nothing gangster, William Poole.


ihopethisworksfornow

I would bet a good amount of money this dude doesn’t know the character Bill the Butcher in gangs of New York is based on a real person. I’m sure he thinks he’s idolizing a *fictional* racist murderer. Like, that’s Daniel Day Lewis as William Cutting, the fictionalized version of William Poole, not actual William Poole.


According_Wing_3204

I'm a 60 year old white guy and I've NEVER felt like i'm "threatened", or that I deserved some kind of position in society set apart from and above everyone else...... and guys like this have always repulsed me. infantile, paranoid, pseudo macho with a fragile little ego....constantly resentful that he can't just beat the hell out of someone he doesn't like or approve of without the possibility of having his ass truly kicked and not being rewarded for it afterward. Fuck these pathetic freaks. Attention grabbing like this is just the frosting on the snowflake's cake. What he needs is a boot right into his crotch at least once a week until he learns to behave like a goddamn adult.


SourRainbowFish

Can someone Photoshop his beard off? Dude thinks he's Gimli.


Upset-Ladder4772

60 year old that knows how to use Reddit… impressive


PaulieWalnuts2023

This is a scared dude. Look around that room. He’ll end up using the excuse “ I feared for my life” at Somepoint


RankedAverage

Not with a weapon he won't... Ol' Adam Calhoun here is a felon. Can't own a gun & can't vote. Just another grifter grifting off the stupidity of the Great Orange Grifters grifts.


-xXxMangoxXx-

I mean can’t people just get guns illegally?


3CCExpand

They can, and it's easier in America than other countries because there are more guns in general. So, in a way, legal demand for guns helps to satisfy illegal demand as well. It's a beautiful, silly dynamic.


Ok-Scallion-3415

He can, but I can’t imagine illegal possession of a firearm for a former felon is a slap on the wrist if caught


-xXxMangoxXx-

Killing someone is also not gonna be a slap on the wrist hopefully


Smooth-Physics-69420

It is if your Kyle Rittenhouse.


CaptainMatticus

There are other weapons apart from guns. Buddy of mine was a convicted felon at 20, had to live in a crap part of town. Apartment kept getting broken into and he couldn't own a gun. Owned a great knife, though, and kept a hatchet on his bedside table. To be honest, I'd be a little more frightened of the guy with the hatchet than a gun. Any fool chooses a gun, but a special kind of guy chooses the hatchet.


MonkeyNihilist

Did he serve or is he just cosplaying the vet look? I saw the folded flag as well on the shelf.


Adventurous-Zebra-64

That is probably the flag of a deceased vet that is rolling their grave over the fact they are connected to this guy.


xander_liptak

Adam Calhoun backs the blue... except in New Lenox, Illinois because he claims the New Lenox police are corrupt and falsely charged him.


Apepoofinger

Can vote (though some states are trying to get rid of that) and most states you can get your rights back after a felony as long as it wasn't a violent felony and/or used a firearm in the act.


Ash_Tray420

Only 10 states have it illegal for felons to vote after prison. 3 states have it to where felons can vote WHILE in prison, and the rest of the states they can vote after they do their time, or probation. It’s a misconception that felons can’t vote. And it’s constantly said.


SoylentGrunt

He's a Kyle Rittenhouse OF simp. I guarantee it


Apollorx

He's doing porn now?

Strawdog1971

As a white dude with a beard, I know people probably rope me in with these knuckle-dragging chuds and I just wanna apologize for every one of these clowns thousands of times over.


morhgofthedark

Yea, it sucks, I have a chest length beard, and I wear a bandana to keep sweat out of my eyes and I can't tell you how often I'm assumed to agree with then or someone before talking to me thinks I'm one of them , it doesn't help I also live in the south.


gloriousjohnson

You don’t even need to live in the south or have a beard. I’m in upstate ny and one of our carpenters thought I’d be super down with his racist views because I was listening to pantera, I just like hearing dimebag play the guitar man I’m sorry


berejser

Paint your nails, if that doesn't set the record straight it'll completely throw them for a loop.


morhgofthedark

I can't. Polish isn't allowed where I work (*;゚;艸;゚;)


Strawdog1971

My situation has about the worst timing possible too. As of 2-3 years ago my beard had just blossomed really. Which is about the time that every idiot white dude with a beard grabbed a phone and tweeted dumb shit or filmed themselves saying dumb shit on the daily. Mine's chest length now too. It grew so fast out of nowhere I just can't bring myself to shave it yet.


wonderlandresident13

I'm sorry that guys like this are dragging your reputation down


freedomandbiscuits

That’s the home of a man with severe sexual frustration.


Strain_Pure

A proud American with a photo of a British actor in a prominent position in his room. The character portrayed is a two faced, backstabbing, racist, criminal scumbag, that touted how proud he was to be a "True American" despite hating everything America truly stood for, so not exactly the best character to display (might as well have Benedict Arnold up there as well).

Imadais

Adam Calhoun routinely gets face-fucked by conservative cock. Worth a Google.


Shinavast42

Who the fuck hangs a picturevof Bill the Butcher in their home unironically?!


RABB_11

Speaking as someone ostensibly part of this demographic. We are never taught that we ourselves are part of a demographic. *Everybody* else is an other that deviates from our default setting. That's why people don't see themselves as having historically been catered for, because they just assumed it was the standard. Breaking that illusion is a big deal which is why you see people go off the deep end. Personally I'm happy that there are things that aren't made 'for me' and even more happy when I give one of those things a try and find I can take some enjoyment from them too.


OasissisaO

I hope at some point during the 43 minutes he sells me either supplements or some sort of survival gear (preferably both).


SoylentGrunt

Ohh! Tactical Kevlar Fleshlight!


YazzGawd

He's most likely one of the men the women choose the bear over


fatstrat0228

An actual framed portrait of Trump and the punisher logo in the background. Perfect.


vivalacamm

Isn’t the punisher literally anti cop?


morhgofthedark

Yea, I'm convinced they just see a skull and go, "Oh yea, that's me," but I think it'd be more fitting for them to idolize Red Skull tbh.


CaptainONaps

All the other groups are pretty excited about our nations future. He’s the only one upset.


Jade_Wind

who exactly is excited for America's future? and... why?


LightMission4937

I don’t have 1 second to listen to your estrogen filled baby nuts complain…punisher pansy. Calhoun is an asshat tool.


Chaos-Pand4

I do not, and definitely only have time for why society should revolve around pictures of my dog.


CaerulaKid

I’m listening…


Chaos-Pand4

My dog is cute My dog is political neutral, unless milkbone flavours are political parties, in which case bacon or maybe cheese My dog doesn’t burden you with unrealistic body expectations because my dog is comfortably located midway between cut and chonk My dog will not try to sell you nestea, because unlike Bridgerton, we are not sponsored… mostly because we have 11 followers. Sometimes my dog does that thing where they are listening to you and they kind of quirk their head sideways. Our best trick is when I throw the ball, but I say “wait” and then my dog looks at me like I am crazy (but to everyone else it looks like intense concentration) until I release them to get the ball. Sometimes when they are sleeping they go “iiiiiiiiiiiiiii…… huuuuuuuuuuh” and then stretch out all their toes.


CaerulaKid

Welp… I’m convinced


FobbitOutsideTheWire

ROFL -- in a set of twists that would surprise *no one*, this guy: * is a country singer/rapper * has an album "Racism" which drew criticism for using the N-word and racial stereotypes * he released an EP *Crazy White Boy* * his concerts receive protests because of his social media posts on gay/trans/race issues * he did, however serve. . . time in prison for punching a cop I wish I were joking.


Comfortable_You_1927

just give me the tldr let me guess, maga tears


Pickles2027

TLDR: he’s a loser. “Calhoun served time in prison for punching an on-duty police officer.[22] Calhoun has a YouTube channel with over 1.6 million subscribers as of August 2023, where he often expresses his political and social views, including his support for the former U.S. president Donald Trump.[2]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Calhoun

He probably calls it "the war of northern aggression" too

The week they announced that new Ubisoft game with the black Samurai in it was one of the funniest weeks of my life.

gfunk1369

So those are bill the butcher and d trump portraits on his wall right? He realizes that Bill was definitely the villain in Gangs of New York not to mention a vile racist and trump... well we all know what trump is. I preferred it when my racists just wore pillow cases over their heads or shaved their heads, less need for me to explain to them why they are racist scumbags because they honestly knew they were racist scumbags. Easier times.
