[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all the UK tabloids saying this is based on a story of a black 13 yo immigrant snapping and knifing a white girl?

Is that true? And the director chose to make the killer a white boy with mental issues? [/quote]

Netflix has a show called Adolescence that’s about a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus and it’s based on real life cases such as the Southport murderer.

So guess what. They race swapped the actual killer from a black man/migrant to a white boy and the story has it so he was radicalized online by the red pill movement.

Just the absolute state of anti-white propaganda.[/quote]

This has been explained several time. There are MANY stories of teenage boys killing girls in the UK. Like dozens. Boys of different races, including white. The series is not based on a specific incident. It's inspired by what appears to be a trend of young men stabbing girls to death. The decision to make the boy and his family white was driven in part by the decision to have one of the creators (who is white) play the boy's dad, and to locate the story in northern England, which is less diverse than other parts of the country. It was not a political choice.

If you don't believe me, please go find the apparently singular story of a 13 year old boy killing a girl from school and show us how this series was based on that specific event but with the races swapped. You can't, because the series was not based on such an event. It draws loosely from a number of such killings.[/quote]

Sure reeks of politics if they’re trying to push it to a parliament session. 
Can’t get more political than that.

Bottom line the character killer boy is psychotic. So bringing up refugees, social media, lack of a real father figure won’t be effective. [/quote]

Sorry you don't have the attention span to read. This was posted upthead

"Is Adolescence a true story?
While Jamie’s story told in Adolescence isn’t based on a single incident, it does draw influence from a handful of real-life reports of young boys involved in knife crimes. In March 2023, there were almost 18,500 cautions and convictions made for possession of a knife, and 17.3 percent of those offenders were between the ages of 10 and 17, per the House of Commons library.
It shocked me. I was thinking, ‘What’s going on? What’s happening in society where a boy stabs a girl to death? What’s the inciting incident here?’ And then it happened again, and it happened again, and it happened again. I really just wanted to shine a light on it, and ask, ‘Why is this happening today? What’s going on? How have we come to this?’” Graham told Netflix’s Tudum.

“We could have made a drama about gangs and knife crime, or about a kid whose mother is an alcoholic or whose father is a violent abuser,” he continued. “Instead, we wanted you to look at this family and think, ‘My God. This could be happening to us,’ and what’s happening here is an ordinary family’s worst nightmare.’”"
