    How was he right wing? He blew up the credit card companies.

    He was def sexist tho so maybe that's what you mean. Yeah actually, huge misogynist.

      Yeah, I think that's the part of the movie that made me think it was right wing reactionary nonsense. That and just being a lib at the time

        yeah if durden had been a feminist he'd have been badically a kinky maoist. I don't think i remember him saying any homophobic shit, but i haven't watched it in a long time and the last time I did was with a vibrator so i was mostly just paying attention to brad pitts body and meat loaf

          Didn't he beat the gay coded guy to a bloody pulp? Or am I reading too much into that?

              Yeah, it was jared. Not sure. They call him beautiful and he was blonde, but otherwise don't remember anything about the character that stands out as gay coded. So :shrug:

                could just be toxic masculine stuff not wanting to be a “pretty boy” dork and wanting to be a tough rough man

                  Yeah, that's definitely the surface level read. Not like Fight Club was otherwise subtle

            Reading too much into that. He honored Meat Loaf who was clearly bear coded.

            Also Tyler Durden is bisexual. I’ve decided this because he’s hot and a fictional character I can project lust upon.
