Outsiders and weirdos are both culturally acceptable and also unacceptable at the moment, in that people now like all the things that outsiders and weirdos like and were once upon a time mocked for liking (a’la video games and comics), but outsiders and weirdos themselves are just…not liked? I think Teddy gets into that somewhat, though not with discourse about video games or whatever; it’s just about an outsider who’s frankly a better person than most anyone else we meet in the film, and he’s treated as a monster until he becomes a literal, actual monster. There’s something there, I think.
