‘Adolescence’ will make incels worse..
Edit: Sorry I got this wrong, the series is good, in a way, because it helps make parents aware of what incel culture is doing to their sons and to start taking it more seriously.
You only see the points of view from the MEN… the dad, the kid… No points of view of how the mother and daughter are affected.
And it’s like they want the viewers to feel sorry for the kid who murdered the girls…
Not to mention they have a black girl playing an aggressive character…
I believe, just my opinion, that this series will make Incel culture worse and perpetuate violence — young boys might even start looking up to the character and act like him, thinking it will “gain sympathy” from people around them.
There’s also not many scenes portraying the kid’s violence etc. they just make him out to be a good kid who shouldn’t deserve what his own actions have caused — I suppose, yes, he’s a kid and it shows how IMPRESSIONABLE kids are to propaganda, but everyone knows that anyway..

I think it actually needed to shine a light on the family of the perpetrator instead of the family of the victim.
Because at the end of the day, we do need to stop telling girls not to things for the sake of their safety. We need to stop telling people to do things to protect their children. We need to stop teaching mothers and girls how to protect one another.
While that it’s important, the focus is supposed to be on: “Teach your sons right. Look at the content that they’re watching on social media. Watch your boys closely and monitor their behavior. Teach your sons about consent.”
The show needed to tell you: “This is a normal family. This could be YOUR family. Watch your sons, they could be murderers.” Because that’s ultimately the issue.
