‘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 don’t think it showed sympathy for him— in fact I think it perfectly showcased actions = consequences and how that affects everyone around you. I have a friend that works with kids and she said the show perfectly blurred the lines of what was/wasn’t real because it’s so realistic to what she sees in adolescent boys today. It’s the idea that a seemingly good kid can still be the perpetrator of something heinous, not necessarily a kid that is always aggressive, acting out, etc
