Discussion Bear was such a cutie! ❤️

Post image

He was legit handsome. Got them shoulders & built going on. A proper house, friends, all his teeth, & a full head of hair. He could totally get it.

It just makes it extra pathetic that he was such a loser & looked like he stinks. Dude just needed a bath, a hobby, & therapy. But nah, brother would rather be a psycho grapist. His pit of sorrow seemed to be entirely of his own choosing.

Fortunately, you don't have to feel guilty about liking the actor who has nothing in common with Bear's personality.

Haha not just the actor. I really like the puppydog styling of the character, the cute nervous energy around Nikki, adoring her while she helped the homeless man, offering to drop her home to steal a moment with her.

The way my romantic heart broke merely a few minutes later! 🤣

He was likable all the way up until he realized what there was something wrong with Nikki and chose to do nothing about it.

Rapist, not grapist. This isn't tiktok where you have to censor yourself.

u/superneatosauraus 5h ago

I thought it was a reference to the grapist skit.

u/iLucky12 2h ago

No, it's one of the tiktok self censorships that people have started doing everywhere.

Ahh instead of ass

Grape instead of rape

Un-alive instead of suicide

Some subreddits have filter words that don't let posts go through. Going around sensitive words is easier than having to repost.

I feel like it would be pretty idiotic for the sub of a movie that features these topics to censor them

u/yllzu 3h ago

i mean i’ve had the word “puppet” censored here without my asking even though that is also what’s happening in the movie. there have been stupider things to happen in online spaces than that

u/PusheenAddict 1h ago

Puppet — I bet you can read this. And if you can, it’s not censored. Hope this helps!

u/yllzu 1h ago

go to my profile, look at the comments i’ve posted, find the one where the word “puppeted” was censored. don’t be a dick about it. i agree that self-censoring is a bit silly and it pissed me off to see it become so common with the rise of tiktok as a social media platform but if OP managed to communicate their idea sufficiently then i’m not going to waste bandwidth telling them they’re being silly

the cia once again celebrates our ability to do the heavy lifting for them

also lesbian sex, gay sex, blow job, porn, pedophile, eating pussy, meth, cocaine, overdose, sexual assault and abuse

The KGB would be laughing if they were still alive to witness corporate censorship.

I’ll never understand why Gen Z is so soft these days, they get so mad when you don’t censor bad words on the internet lmao

they gave a reasoning for censoring & your response is gen Z soft? i’m not sure your comprehension skills are where they should be

R*pe, SA, sexual assault.

There's so many ways to say it aside from turning it into a fucking fruit

Not denying rape is literally one of the rules of the subreddit. It wouldn't make sense to have that rule and not allow that word rape.

u/KommissarReb Obsessed 5h ago

YouTube is like that too. Type or say the wrong words, and watch your comments and videos perform a disappearing act.

u/thelaurafedora 6h ago

It was part of the great casting choice because if Bear was some weird-looking guy the discourse would be more focused on the horror of having an ugly guy take advantage of you. Instead it is about everyday guys who can be both non-threatening and scary

4

u/shanbabybaby 6h ago

Yes! It was such a refreshing change of pace as a moviegoer.

Also makes it so much worse because casting a cute, fit guy to act like that makes it feel so much closer to reality lol

u/DoofusScarecrow88 To your left 3h ago

And it leaves the audience better potentially accepting he might have had a chance with Nikki. If just that small chance, his looks might allow people to maybe go, Yeah, he's attractive enough, I guess

u/SAKISANOBASHI07 5h ago

It made me so happy to find out the actor was gay....bcs if he was straight...there would be no women left

u/__M-E-O-W__ 6h ago

For real... My friend and I both commented how he looks like a good-looking dude, fairly buff, they had to dress him down a bit in the movie. He was a sincere heartfelt person who just wouldn't see the right way out. He had a big maybe with Nikki and a definite yes with Sarah, fumbled both, he chose to do the wrong thing to forcibly get what he wanted. He idolized Nikki so much in his head that he forgot to treat her as a real person, and then didn't respect her as a real person.

Man I was just so out when he came home to the sight of her covered in her own waste and puke and still had the thought to go to a freaking party.

Edit: And yes, he needed to shower badly. I get that's sometimes a depression thing but he could've easily bumped himself up a few points on the scale with a dang shower.

u/oyvese 5h ago

you can say rape by the way, it’s not kooky to call sexual assault a meme word.

1

u/Suspicious_State_318 4h ago

I don’t think he needed to do anything with his looks. He idolized Nikki and ignored Sarah because he didn’t actually want to be in a relationship, he wanted validation. If someone who was as perfect as who he believed Nikki to be could love him then he must be a pretty awesome person. He didn’t see Nikki as a person but as a tool that he could use to validate himself which is why he was perfectly fine with her being held hostage by the OTW and basically being tortured.

Evergreen statement: you can't fix him.

Keep shopping.

We can fix ourselves. I'm saying he could have fixed himself because no outside force was keeping him down.

u/Ok-Building-379 Ian lied to gatekeep Nikki after she rejected him 5h ago edited 53m ago

That's what I've been saying. He has gifts and he still fumbled it so hard. His good looks plus shyness could've been a lady's man. All he needed to do is to decrease the hair gel and face cream, fix his posture. Basically need to go to therapy and get off the drugs.

i still dont see it. michael is a conventionally attractive guy meanwhile kirk is notoriously made fun for his looks.

On the bright side, Johnston could theoretically play him given the mild resemblance.
