Criticizing this show for being 180 degrees off from reality is a completely valid thing to do in the thread about this show.


if this was supposed to be a documentary or even if it was supposed to be an actual dramatized reenactment of one specific event, which to my knowledge it isn't, then i'd agreee whole heartedly. but at the end of the day it's a work of fiction. i mean mickey mouse is 180 degrees from reality too

Yeah, but Mickey Mouse doesn't have any agenda.

This show clearly does. The UK parliament is actually having the show producers give testimony, as if they are experts in anything, in order to guide new laws. So it would be nice if the show in question, wasn't a complete lie about trends and what is going on in society.

Tell that to the politicians who are acting like it's a documentary and enacting policy because of it.

lol what policy is being enacted because of this show? and if there hypothetically was policy enacted because of this fictional netflix series, which i'm fairly certain there is not, in what detrimental ways would that policy be impacted by the killer in the show being white and not black? this is starting to feel like just a new way to say great replacement.

Give google a try. It's not hard:


Educational Reforms
  • The UK government, backed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has supported making the series available for free to all secondary schools via the Into Film+ streaming service to facilitate discussions on misogyny, online radicalization, and healthy relationships.
  • This includes integrating elements of the show into the Relationships, Health, and Sex Education (RHSE) curriculum in secondary schools as part of broader efforts to educate children on these issues.
  • There is an ongoing review of the statutory RSHE guidance, following a public consultation, to ensure high-quality, age-appropriate lessons on healthy relationships and the harms of misogyny, with stakeholder engagement to advance the curriculum.
  • A campaign, endorsed by Starmer and Labour MPs like Anneliese Midgley and Johnathan Brash, calls for screenings of the show in schools (potentially even primary schools with discretion) and Parliament to raise awareness of social media dangers and online-influenced violence.
Online Safety and Child Protection Measures
  • The show has fueled calls to strengthen the Online Safety Act, with its illegal content duties already in force and age-appropriate protections for children set to begin in summer 2025, including preventing exposure to abusive misogyny and violence.
  • Platforms face fines for non-compliance, and the government is committed to further enhancements if needed.
  • Tech companies are urged to prioritize children's wellbeing by enforcing age limits, protecting privacy, avoiding algorithms that push harmful content, and providing clear complaint mechanisms for young users.
  • An informal group of around 25 Labour MPs is pushing for tougher measures, such as raising the social media age of consent from 13 to 16, though a related private member's bill was previously watered down.
  • Proposals from the show's co-creator Jack Thorne include a "digital age of consent" via banning smartphones for under-16s to curb online radicalization, though the government has not committed to this, noting teachers already have powers to ban phones in schools.
  • Broader efforts involve resources from Netflix and charities like Tender for parents, teachers, and carers on addressing misogyny and radicalization, as part of the government's Plan for Change to prevent youth crime and ensure safer communities.
And yet, they are completely ignoring the rape and murder crisis perpetrated by migrants because acknowledging it is embarrassing to the left.

Europe is so f***ed. They are intentionally committing national and cultural suicide in multiple countries. Although we are not too far behind...while we may not have the ridiculous unconstitutional "thought crime" laws on the books, the majority of welfare recipients in this country are non-citizens.

Progressives focus on everything but the direct problems (that they created and actively enable).

lol this thread reads like satire. i was hoping to get an idea on whether this was worth checking out, and to be fair there were a handful of posts helpful in that regard. but holy s-, forget about what the internet is doing to kids, i'm worried about what it's doing to some of you. if you find yourself actually angered by the fact that a non documentary fictional story that took inspiration from multiple incidents didn't specifically feature a killer that was black like one of the real events, maybe it's time to log off twitter for a bit. last i checked, writers are still allowed to be inspired by something when creating a story while still having the freedom to write their, again, FICTIONAL story however they please. getting upset about this really feels like we're setting reason aside bc we want to be mad.

i did get a good laugh out of the comments about white males being the most discriminated group until i realized it wasn't supposed to be a joke. are we counting killers in fiction being white as discrimination now? i guess i was just one of the lucky white males to thus far have all that rampant discrimination miss me. i just want to reiterate that its not just children being negatively impacted by the internet and social media. i miss the pre social media days when people would be too embarrassed to make claims like that out loud in public

life is too short to be this angry and paranoid all the time

White males ARE by far the most discriminated against and demonized group in society. How did you not know that? LOL

Gen Z white males also have more legitimate grievances than any other demographic group in modern times. They are actively discriminated against, and basically often taught/told that they are the root of all the world's problems. Asians are being discriminated against too in school admissions and the work force, but no one is being demonized like white males. Not even close. Imagine black women getting stabbed in the neck by white men on the train. Imagine how f-ing different the response and coverage would be.

This movie isn't an example of discrimination, just another case of being overly PC and framing false political/societal narratives, like the left always does. This was never going to be about a black or Muslim murderous psychopath. It just wasn't. Even though that is MUCH more in line with reality and actual statistics.
