Why did they feel the need to actually show a picture of Trump? They could just made the same dialogue and everyone would perfectly realise it was a Trump metaphor
Do they think we are so stupid that they need to spoonfeed us, or it was just another product placement and Trump publicity? I'm getting a bit tired of Trump putting money on shows and films so his name/face appears
Its to upset people like you who are so in love with the soon to be jailed President.
Eh? I don't give a shit about any American politician
because mrreddit is edgelord garbage
>FIGHT CLUB REFERENCE XD SO KEWL
anyone that kept watching the show after season 1 is a retard or a cuck
I was confused by that scene. Was Esmail implying that the mainstream media was actually SUPPORTING Trump? Even Fox News wasn't especially kind to him during the election.
>I don't give a shit about any American politician
it seems that you care a lot
The director is totally leftist, watch the interview about the Chinese transgender character etc.
How the fuck did you conclude that it's trying to put trump in a positive light.
Same with Rick and Morty, for example, although there it's strange that they explicitly talk about Israel.
To be fair they used actual footage of Obama too.
>internet armchair psychologist
Pretty much anyone who voted for Hillary will tell you that media was biased against her and pro trump
Is this bait?
Yes.
Hillary?
Which is amazing considering wikileaks proved that not only were they not against her, they were actively helping her game the debates. So that makes those hillary supporters extra pathetic, just how I likes em.
Yeah but when they show the chinese hacker talking about supporting one of the candidates they didn't know to actually show trump's face, you could already realise they were talking about him
if the director thinks he's insulting trump by that he's retarded, they are just giving him publicity
>REEEEEE THEY TALKED ABOUT DRUMPF REDDIT EDGELORD MEME KEK SAF WRING GARBAGE REEEEEEE
I've never seen so much butt hurt over literally nothing
The thing was that the scene felt incredibly forced and preachy. I know Esmail doesn't like Trump, and I don't care, but I wish he'd stop awkwardly shoehorning his opinions into the show. Other than that scene, it was a fantastic episode.
I think liberals literally can't tell the difference between Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, so they've been merged into one character for this show.
What was wrong with showing him? Could you have inferred who they wanted him to shill without it? Without it Hilary would have been a more reasonable choice since her corruption is well established.
>stopped watching show after season 1
>he thinks I care about trump being mentioned in the shows latest season
You're still watching Mr Robot after season 2?
Also Mr. Robot is not a robot. He has sex.
>Do they think we are so stupid
Yeah they think we're stupid because we don't believe that Vladimir Putin hacked our election in order to install Donald Trump and Theresa May. What's going in on the world lately is a big conspiracy of right-wing capitalism, and Trump, Putin, and May are the ringleaders.
The Chinese are backing Trump too. It's well-known that China hates communism, socialism, and the Clintons!
The show is TRYING to "educate" you stupid stupid Sup Forumstards!
It's his fucking show OP. As the artist he can put whatever the fuck he wants in it. Isn't Sup Forums always complaining about how Marvel films are overly corporate and don't give directors creative freedom? Well now someone does have creative freedom and is using it. Don't like it? Don't fucking watch.
Faggots like you are no different then soccer moms wanting to ban south park. gtfo authoritarian fucks.
I don't understand why the "left wing" in America wants so desperately to get rid of Trump. Do they know Mike Spence comes in after him?
You guys need a real socialist party.
But Hillary Clinton sold Uranium to Russians after they donated to the Clinton Foundation while she was secretary of state, surely Russia would like her more
Fuck you, neoliberal cuck.
>socialism
>america
It's founding documents are antithetical to it.
Its because after Obama got into office the "left wing" liked wars and surveillance
And since it is obvious new cons and new libs are all the same thing, they dont care
As long as whoever is in office sides with international corporations they are happy
>It's his fucking show OP. As the artist he can put whatever the fuck he wants in it.
Most retarded argument I have ever heard in my entire life.
No, I mostly love the show. That's why I don't like when he puts these little stupid scenes in the show. The episode would have been 10/10 without it. He's letting his butthurt over the election negatively impact his show.
>Mr. Robot muh roneriness muh nerd
>has sex with no problems with a 7/10 10 minutes in
why can't screenwriters stop being Chads for a minute?
90% of the people who dropped the show because of this
>have family who voted for Hillary and hate Trump
>have friends who voted for Hillary and hate Trump
>are well aware that most of their favorite entertainers voted for Hillary and hate Trump
>are well aware that Trump has big flaws
We just don't want the same narrative in EVERY media product, television show, "education", or news.
And we don't want it delivered to us like it's some super secret, super important revelation, which we should be forming a "resistance" against, as if it's the equivalent of the rise of Hitler.
That's how Robot Man portrays it. It isn't smart. It isn't new. It isn't different. It's shrill and boring.
>Pretending that it takes some really super smart social misfit loner to fight against Trump
>When really the people who feel this way about Trump are low-info dumb-dumbs who get their political opinions from MTV, or Comedy Central, or The View.
>Pretending that it actually takes smarts and effort to "discover" that "Trump is Hitler"
Pretty much this. I haven't dropped the show though, I still love it. I just hope there won't be many more scenes like this.
There was literally zero reason to continue watching after season 1.
>social misfit loner
>has sex
Why can't they get this right in movies?
That's literally what loneliness and social anxiety is, LACK.OF.SEX. and friends.
If you could be a "loner" enjoying your own hobbies and get some no-strings attached sex on the side then no one would want to be normal.
I'm a fan of the show, but things like White Rose talking about Trump was a bit awkward. I honestly don't give two shits what the writers think about Trump, though if it reaches the point where they abandon the original plot progression in order to FUCK DRUMPF IMPEACHMENT WHEN they'll have really cheapened the show. The previously mentioned White Rose bit makes me afraid that is where they're heading.
>That's literally what loneliness and social anxiety is, LACK.OF.SEX. and friends.
Maybe you and I should make a thread on this.
...
Maybe it's wish fulfillment.
I mean, anime has so much worse in terms of that.
I think it's just a throwaway line. I think he's got the plan for the show laid out, and they'll stick with it. If they actually do start talking about Drumpf all the time, I'll drop it too, but it'll make me sad.
WHO THE FUCK IS MIKE SPENCE ASSHOLE. YOU MEAN MIKE PENSE RIGHT?
HOLY FUCK REDNECKS ARE SO GODMAN STUPID.
>finishing s1
hoho
I honestly wouldn't have been bothered by it much if it wasn't for the fact that Esnail is very adamant about whining about Donny Trumpo on Twitter and interviews and AMAs.
What could have just been another little worldbuilding detail thus turned into Artist-self-inserting armchair politics wankery.
t. reddit
Mr Robot is a single series show. There was no reason for it to continue.
So you want Mike Pence to be president?
Exactly, anime, which is cartoons for 12-14 years old boys, not exactly a fair comparison.
It also doesn't make sense because lonely people that spend too much time on the internet develop way more complicated and deep conspiracy theories than MUH DRUMPFFF IS BAD BECAUSE MEAN SHIT ON TWITTER.
Hell, most educated people know the president hasn't counted for shit since JFK got killed for talking of the secret societies.
Even muh DRUMPF is just going through the motions, appeasing the zionist overlords like all the other presidents and being cockblocked by his own party on important votes.
No, they want Mike Pence to step down and make Paul Ryan president. Then they want Paul Ryan to step down and make Hillary president.

>anime has so much worse in terms of that.
Anime is fun and entertaining and the fact that its animated allows them to do things you couldnt easily do in live action
>not knowing White Nationalist Mike Spencer
They're clearly riding the Drumpf wagon. In a follow-up episode he's on TV and they make fun of him running for president and make it seem like he was put in power by some invisible hand.
desu can you even imagine elliot having sex?
how awkward that must have been whe he fucked shayla
probably only lasted like 2 minutes and just felt disgusting after that
>there are people that actually use the word "zionist" unironically who think they are smarter then the average American
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.
old pic but good pic plus two points
Utaban was awesome
fuck its coming on a year and this still gets me rollin
I see Russia's masterplan to destabilize the west is going well. Good for Putin.
because hollywood is full of commie kiddie fucking muslim loving scumbags
So why did they pin Trump on being China's puppet and not Russia?
Trump is a symbol of American greed and stupidity. It’s going to be in history books. Why not include it? He’s the president of the United States, you can’t really get more famous than that
Because even they know the Russian story is a joke
The irony is there is a much better and more interesting story, involving Seth Rich the real DNC leaker, being murdered for exposing corruption
There's nothing more beautiful than seeing triggered Trumpweenies.
They showed Obama last time you conservacuck snowflake.
ah-bloo-bloo
lol
the last episode was the worst, homo propaganda
It's 5 series
obama was relevant to the plot, trump isnt
what fucking plot
what the fuck are you even talking about
>Do they think we are so stupid
Well you are watching tv so it’s a safe assumption that you are indeed stupid.
>watered down wannabe nationalism vs. centrist lukewarm spineless dogshit
why doesn't America have real political parties, when will we get something competent & mean & with teeth.
an explicit showing of trump is actually perfect
the truth is that the surveillance deep state has only grown exponentially since 9/11. from Bush to Obama to Trump the torch has been passed again and again and always built up and never dismantled. Most normies, especially liberals, turn a blind eye to this shit. Barry use to be called the "deported in chief" and he loved his extrajudicial drone strikes. Trump's election has simply redpilled normies on a broad scale to the real shitshow the government is. Sure he didn't really start this but he is opening eyes inadvertently. Since normies are dumb the best way for a director to beat them over the head is to be as explicit as possible
you really need that to be explained to you?
>deleting posts about people being butt hurt over nothing even though it started all the discussions in this thread
What did the mods mean by this?
It's the Trump curse.
Listen to your heeart
This is the most underrated show out right now. This is what happens when art meets television.
>REEEEEEE STOP SAYING MEAN THINGS ABOUT TRUMP REEEEEEEEE
Why won't you people just shut up?
Watch out mods are deleting posts that mock trumpbabies for some reason
It was to show that it was still during primaries so the viewer knew that the scene was in the past. Should be apparent given entire the rest of the episode but people are stupid and need those visual clues.
>visual cue
the character literally starts talking about how hes their puppet
>politician
As I said, most people are stupid. I stand by them wanting a visual cue.
:(
Throwback image, nice job man.
