“You’re an old man’s battle fodder, killing everyone and everything!”

This scene was so real for me because it’s every “conversation” between a group of feminists and a random dude who shows up to “debate” them.

He’s brainwashed, they’re angry, and even though they’re right, they aren’t even close to convincing him. He’s there to make them stop, to bring them back, and even though he’ll be happier when he joins them, right now the only option is to make him get the fuck out. They need to be safe, and he’s actively trying to undermine that.

It’s only later, when the system has used him up and spat him out, that he’s willing to listen and able to help.
