or, hear me out, movies don't need to be lectures and is ok to just do something for the entertainment/artistry/visuals/storytelling of it.
I can tell you that I'm the opposite of what the movie depicts, I'm fragile, never been in a fight, I sincerely hope that will never be in one, I cried like a baby in ET or the time traveles wife, the Schindler's list broke my heart, I dislike the dudebro dynamics, and I adore that movie. I also like horror movies as a genre and I don't go around killing people.
It's fine that you use movies as lectures of life and ethics, or that you don't enjoy them if they don't have a message that you agree with, but some people like them for other reasons, so please try not to profile people for what they like to watch.
It's not that I dislike Fight Club for "not having a message", but for the fact that it's meant to have a message according to the director and the writer of the book, but the movie doesn't depict what that message is very well.
sorry I wasn't clear, my criticism wasn't towards you not liking the movie, anyone have their own taste and there is nothing wrong with it, we all just want to enjoy things :-)
My problem was about you profiling people that do like the movie as "dudebros", that wasn't very nice IMHO
