Pete Buttigieg dismissed concerns that the new movie, Joker, might encourage real world acts of terror, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Said Buttigieg: “I think it’s a cop-out to blame pop culture for violence… What I will say is that the culture we produce, reflects us. And if you see a dark dystopian film doing well, it might be because the American people are feeling unsettled and bothered and maybe dark in a time like this.”
