I remember when he did that Black Mirror interactive movie thing, and there was that really weird backlash about him for not being conventionally attractive?
Anyone else remember that, or was that just a fever dream that I had?
“Popular” isn’t one thing, there’s like thousands of groups that all come up with what’s popular to them. Thats the great thing about the internet though, you can always find a group you fit in if you dont like another one.
Ive also never heard a bad word about this actor in regards to his looks. I didnt think he was unattractive in bandersnatch either.

People are so fucking weird.
Yep, he played a weird nerd in Bandersnatch and people were mad he wasn’t phuckkable.
What? I remember a lot of people being impressed how he different he looked in Bandersnatch compared to We’re the Millers, in a positive way?
Maybe just different crowds
I was probably in a much more toxic space on the internet, at the time.
Fair. I was on reddit but I don’t think I had any really toxic subs subscribed.

Yeah people were like legit harassing him. Really fucking weird.
I guess that’s the same reason that the Dahmer show did so well: they made their bleach blond weirdo kinda good looking.
That, and the general cultural impulse to find serial killers… hot?
Yeah but wasn’t Dahmer known for being an attractive, charming dude?
I think that was Ted Bundy. Dahmer was more of an outcast, IIRC.
Oh yeah you’re prob right.
Bandersnatch.
That was amazing and Will Poulter was amazing in it.
I remember a few years earlier than that he was featured in ‘punchable faces’ posts. I’m happy for the guy
