I don't know about that other stuff, but yeah, the jerking off part, and no edgy talking or jokes always bothered me.

I had a Christian friend in college, and he was so over the top good, but even he told really edgy jokes every once in a while

They have a camera in his bathroom. They never show him taking a gnarly shit? Every morning he's just perfectly entertaining in the mirror? He's never just looking at himself depressed, or fucking around with his dick? This is shit everyone does
>>
They explain it by way of the "show" being completely controlled. Jim never gets a reason to become racist because all the blacks he knows are actors that don't hurt him.

When Jim does act out, an actor is sent in to diffuse it. Like went Jim was holding his wife at knifepoint and his friend walks in with a bunch of beers.
>>
>>71348836
So he would have never uttered an insult under his breath to someone?
He must have had a bully in his high school days. You telling me he didn't try to shoot up the school at least once?

The average 4chan user isn't the Average Joe, I'm sorry to say.

"Normies" is what you're looking for.

He was raised as a nice person by the director. And he might of been acting curt at some points, but that just makes for good tv.

They probably showed clips of him having sex with his fake wife.
>>
>>71349284
do you think he developed any particular fetishes? and would her contract allow bonuses for anal or scat?
>>
>>71347795
he was conditioned from birth to not do any one of that
>>
>>71349342
Her contract was to be his wife everyday since high school. It's why she broke down. She was doing that act for decades with no downtime. She had it even worse than Jim because she knew she was trapped.
>>
>>71348954
If his entire life was controlled he may have never even heard those words.

who's gonna mention to him about jacking off? like he wouldn't even know or event experiment.
Even based on the whole water fear, he'd probably have a traumatic experience about some kid touching his dick besides urinating/bathing and he died.

lol

there's are even more pathetic, just in a different way

I learned how to jack off by myself. I was just playing with my dick one night and it happened.
>>
>>71352941
for me i had already been watching porn, so jacking off was just the natural progression

a person becomes who is based on his circumstances and the people around him. If no one around him ever been racist or violent (which they wouldn't) then he wouldn't be one either.
also, the entire movie is metaphors. he's really in prison and he's also Jesus and the director is god.
>>
>>71353331
Some of us weren't lucky enough to have unrestricted access to the internet when we were really young.

Even so, he obviously had sex before, so he would have known what that's like, and would have learned that he can do it himself.
>>
>>71353472
I like metaphors as much as the next guy, but are you sure it's that one? There are plenty of other allegories about a divine father and disobedient son, Jesus/God doesn't really fit
>>
>>71348587
Your example doesn't amount to anything since christians are very repressed.
>>
>>71353472
More like director is god and he is first human.

This has essentially been rendered obsolete by Black Mirror.
Was pretty entertaining at the time, though.

a person who never heard the word 'nigger' wouldn't just 'biologically' know it.

But that's not what the post I replied to said at all.

> If no one around him ever been racist or violent (which they wouldn't) then he wouldn't be one either.

This is false. Prejudice and violence are in every human being in varying degrees. Every culture has influences of prejudice and violence, no matter how distinct.
>>
>>71355042
but since his entire world and everyone around him are directed by what i assume is a network show, they would mold him into a person that wouldn't be racist or violence. obviously if this was real, it would actually tell us more about such things than researches and stuff, but it isn't.

Fucking kek.

The idea of the Truman show is nice but if they were to behave like real people they'd get into trouble fast. I've called people asshole countless times without them knowing or done tiny things that could compromise a relationship if they were known. But I guess a nice guy like Truman would be produced in a closed protected environment.

would he be a racist if he lived in a perfect utopia?

But everyone around him acted like they were in a 50's sitcom his entire life, so where would he even learn how to behave in a negative way like that? Plus the director would choose not to show anything too nsfw by playing footage of his neighborhood.

Every single person besides Truman was an actor, even kids.
