Somebody didn't get the point of the movie

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 hour ago

Someone who hasn't seen the manic phase of bipolar.

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago

Because the night

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Because it would make Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration very unhappy.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Because happiness can only exist when outlined by sadness. You only know times are good if you have bad times to compare to.

Killing sadness just leaves us utterly empty.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 57 minutes ago

One of these days I shall visit the grave of my misery

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 hours ago

Wait, that make sense, depression is the lack of feeling, everyone dead, at least in my experience

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean...

Maybe anger would have, but he wasn't consistently specifically angry at sadness.
And maybe sadness would have killed herself, but she didn't.

It'd be out of character for any of the others to do it.

Anger murder-suicide of sadness

I think that's called xanax

[–] MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

That'd just put Sadness in jail to be released at a later date

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 99 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The point of the movie is that suppressing sadness is a bad thing

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's supression if it's dead?

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

No, but the act of killing it is.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 72 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The kid would become a psychopath that never gets sad at anything and lacks empathy

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 34 points 19 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 44 points 19 hours ago

turn on the news.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It would be a pretty fantastic breakdown tbh.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 12 hours ago

Unleash you bing bong feels

[–] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Tbh sadness is normal but they have to throw depression in an hell if she appear

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Depression is all of the other emotions being thrown into jail.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 42 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

They literally have a 'cease to exist' pit.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

And yet I will never forget bing bong.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 28 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but Joy got out of it in like 5 minutes. If I know sadness, it'll float right out while eating my last cheez-it.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You can still float without functional kneecaps.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Break her brainstem.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

You can never know happiness, without knowing sadness.

[–] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Literally the beginning of the movie shows that Joy was there alone before Sadness showed up.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

I'm sure they all meet her, they work together.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 40 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

That just sounds like philosopher dribble peddled to make sad people feel better.

You can very well know happiness without sadness. It's called ignorance and from what I've heard it's bliss.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

It's not about knowing. It's about appreciating.

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 34 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Most the ignorant people I know are the most angry, miserable people I've ever met, so idk maybe that's bullshit too

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Are they ignorant or all their "knowledge" just revolve in being racist and an asshole?, a truly ignorant person would be like a toddler no? Without racism and such

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Being a toddler is traumatic! They have no knowledge of the world around them and it's frequently terrifying. Why do you think young children cry so much? Ignorance is scary.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What do we call this, an Appeal to Balance fallacy?

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

False Balance or Appeal to People, which one are you referring to?
