Well, there is lots of science that disagrees with you (about harms inflicted by social media ). |
Ok blame everything on social media then. Let’s go back to the *good old days* that never actually existed. |
I think the show had the opposite effect than it intended. If anything it will increase the misogyny and incel movement |
She assaulted him first by pushing him. If he did only that to her, it would’ve been seen as assault. I think his friend Ryan convinced him to take the knife and threaten her, but when she pushed him down and laughed and probably called him a wimp/or p word, he lost it. The show doesn’t make the girl look good. This show is just as much a lesson to girl parents as it is boy parents but Western media will only paint the “toxic masculinity” angle and not discuss the girls. In reality, middle school girls are vicious even to each other and are far worse than boys. Girls mature faster than boys |
The Trumpists and boymoms detest this show, which proves it is really onto something. |
Boy moms detest the show because female aggression and bullying is never addressed. Most middle school teachers or parents will tell you the girls are where the viciousness lies. Most girls who commit suicide do it because of other girls not because of a boy. |
I don’t think murder is a woman’s ultimate fear especially not at that age when they feel invincible. I think it’s the same fear a guy has: being laughed at or rejected. With this knowledge, why is social media bullying not something social media platforms have taken a bigger stance about? Why are likes on a post even a thing? |
Boy moms with the "boys will be boys" is disgusting. |
+ 1. See above. Hey boymom- the creators of Adolescence are not actually suggesting that Katie bullied Jamie. I would explain this with specific references to episode 2 but don’t wish to waste any more time here. |
Yes and Australian (and I say that as a proud Aussie). Absolute misogyny. |
Boy moms do not say boys will be boys. That is what the show suggested. The cop decided to bond with his bullied son after realizing bullying led to Jamie’s rage |
Right, because we have no other options. 🙄 How about being the adults in the room. Realize that a new product damaged many children, and come up with sound regulations. |
How weird that you are cheering “Team Boy” about a show in which a young girl was brutally stabbed to death. Talk about having a chip on your shoulder! |
m This is a strange take. The show took great strides to show that the boy had a stable family life. There were many scenes, like the 10 minute car ride in episode four, showing how connected and loving the parents were. The point of this actually seemed to be that despite having a stable loving family life, children can end up with trauma of one kind or another. Which is true. In adolescence, your peers and life at school become more important and impactful than your family life. Of course having a loving family is always important, but your peers have a greater impact on your overall well-being in adolescence (esp late teens) than your family, as a general rule. |
So sad the boy in Frisco who stabbed and killed another student didn’t watch this show. |
