CMV: The Joker is a cautionary tale about not creating outcasts in society. (Trying to avoid spoilers!)

So maybe I'm thinking too much into this, but I feel like The Joker is a prime example of a cautionary tale about not creating outcasts in society. (Possible spoilers) >!It's very clear throughout the movie that Arthur Fleck is mistreated by pretty much everyone around him. He's called a freak by his coworkers, people jump and beat him up multiple times, he's ridiculed for his poor stand-up performance, and his boss fines him for stealing a sign even after he tells the truth. The only person that makes him feel normal is his mother, and even that ends up being possibly a lie.!< I don't have a doubt in my mind that this is a cautionary tale about why we shouldn't shun people, mistreat people, or make them into social outcasts. Also something that I found interesting is that >!when killing his coworker, he let the other one live and said, "You were the only one nice to me." This is interesting since it essentially mirrors a kid that the Columbine killers let escape.!< I don't know if I'm thinking too much into things, but it interests me as a real possible moral lesson that can be applied to the movie. I don't really know if anyone will disagree with this, but if you do then I'd be interested in seeing how you read the movie.

The message is that ANYONE under his circumstances **could** snap and become a ruthless killer. Statistically speaking, the chances of someone doing so are 0.000001% but that's what the main message is about: don't treat mentally ill badly, one of them **could** fight back and kill you.

That's exactly the same hidden message of any non-bullying campaign ever since Columbine: don't bully anyone, one of them **could** fight back and kill you. It's not about why ALL outcasts are dangerous, it's about WHY one should logically treat outcasts nicely: it is in YOUR best interest.

This argument is as old as time when it comes to social programs: help poor people to rise up because if you don't, one of them **could** become a criminal and rob/kill the average citizen (AKA YOU).
