No. But it's not because it was manufactured media controversy or because left-wing concern trolling, outrage culture or whatever else 90% of the posts in here are saying.
People were concerned it might end up being a sympathetic portrayal of a mediocre while male who lashes out after the world treats him poorly (while maybe even killing a women who rejects him.) Concerned a certain demographic, already prone to lashing out, would identify with it and find it empowering. I mean, it already sort of happens to movies by much more talented filmmakers like Fight Club and American History X; even with a clear critique being the point of the movies.
Turns out the movie isn't that. And so.......that's why it shouldn't be much of a concern anymore. It's that simple.
