The emotional support dunkies

Jeez must be hell dealing with paparazzi

Honestly, I kind of hate these memes for this reason, I emphasize deeply with his emotional state, which is why I know I would hate being photographed every time I feel like that. Just let the man just live his life.
- I don't get posts like this -- his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I've ever seen. These pics/posts have strong "you should smile more" energy
- ~~emphasize~~ empathize
- It's literally what you sign up for when you become a career actor, though.
  I'm actually a very talented actor, but I never had any interest in pursuing it as a career for exactly this reason.
- The video, for those wondering. You can hear the camera shutters going crazy the whole clip (gross)

Is..is he okay? Like genuinely?

Are the [broad group]s okay?
- [broad group] has not been okay since [the thing] happened.
I think he’s been going through some kind of divorce.
- If true, that would explain the pictures. That is the face of "I can't deal with ::waves arms at everything:: this, right now."
Looks like he just wants to get coffee without getting his pic taken.
- Honestly fair
Who cares. He's an over rated douchebag.
- Right. As opposed to you, who is clearly a stellar example of empathy and humanity.

Ben, you should smile more. You look prettier when you smile.

Not Dunkin’ apparently. He’s on the way back and looking no better. Maybe Starbies has what he needs?
The only emotional support i have found is from myself. When friends/family say "don't worry, buddy, it will get better" i recognize that they mean well but those sayings do nothing for me—in fact, they feel invalidating of my emotions.
- Exactly! In contrast to that, if I experience "it getting better" it's a totally different thing.
  When a friend of mine needs help I try to be sensitive but it's still possible that I'll drop a "Don't worry, buddy, it will get better" myself. It'll be honest, though.

Hear me out. Next Gen "reboot" ala Strange new worlds where Affleck is an older Riker nearing the end of his command of the Titan.

You know what. I think Star Trek may be what he needs in life. The community and fambase coupled with a supporting cast he could have an extremely quiet and happy career.
- Preach! I would love old Affleck as a Star Trek Starship Captain.

And all this time, I thought it was JLo making him that unhappy. Maybe he just has resting sad face.

This is definitely a thing, and I am so tired of people asking me what's wrong.
- I have resting horny face.
Absolutely is. Had a colleague who also looks like a sad puppy when just looking normal/serious.

Every time we see him it's like he's ready to check himself into a mental hospital. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just an observation.

Looks like he is tired. Might not feel well. It happens and I really hate how these stupid hot takes are presented.

Reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSvNhxKJJyU

He should be a paid spokesman for Dunkin’ by now, I see him with it more often than not, it’s like he’s addicted to Dunkin’s specifically

Him and his brother had a dunkin Superbowl commercial

He may not be the hero we deserve...

He always looks like he knows he’s a piece of shit and feels bad about it.

What did he do?
- Allegedly, he was aware of Harvey Weinstein's abuse, at least according to Rose McGowan. And since a lot of people are reactionary as fuck, since she accused him of being aware, then they act and behave as if he was undoubtedly aware and complicit in it.
he was great in Mallrats!
- Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo.
- Oh, a sailboat!
- Fictional characters! Am I getting through to you at all?
- doesn't make him not an absolute bastard
Can't believe people are down voting you.
Even Lemmy has tunnel vision on their celebrity idols.
Dude is a fucking douchebag and way overrated as an actor and director.
Who the fuck always casts themselves in their own movies and is NOT a d-bag.
- Mel Brooks
- I don’t care. Their boos fuel me.

I resent rich people in general but I fucking hate this feckless buffoon especially. Professionally, he had a hand in ruining an iteration of Batman. Personally, he doesn't understand the difference between race and religion when it comes to people who practice Islam and that's both reductive and patronizing. Fuck Ben Affleck.

If you "hate" a random actor, then that's kind of a you problem, and you should probably consider therapy, or at the very least, spend less time online.
He's never done anything to harm you, he's just lived his life. He may not be a perfect person but no one is.
- I have known a good number of actors in my life. Some were TV show stuff and one I know for sure was in movies.
  hating an actor is actually a big compliment. as big as love. not knowing who they are or knowing who they are and not caring is the biggest slight you can have for them.
You hate a person you'll never meet and who will likely never know your name??
Damn dude that kind of shit must take a lot of energy. Pop off tho
I've always been fascinated by people who hate celebrities. Again, the amount of energy it takes to actually HATE something. I reserve that kind of energy for well, things I need to hate lmao.
That being said I do remember the clip you're talking about where he went off on a panel because somebody suggested Islam is oppressive to women. You're spot on there
- I reserve that energy for shit that actually matters. Hated is just a way to give power over yourself to your enemies.
- Boy you fuckers sure are lining up for the hate train. Fuck you too then.
I heard he liked to screw women in a very uncomfortable place.
- like the backseat of a volkswagen?
You know those signs that say "X Number of Days Since the Last Accident", and then you go in and change the number accordingly? If you have one that says "X Number of Days Since I was a Childish Asshole for No Reason" you should go ahead and change it to "0".
- Oh boy another person to hate! :D FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU aaaaaand blocked. That was easy. Unlike Ben Affleck, I'll never have to hear about YOU ever again.
