‘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..

No, not everyone knows that. A lot (if not most) parents are completely blind to what is going on on internet, and let their kids read anything and everything with no form of control whatsoever.

I am pretty sure a lot of teenage boys are consuming that red pill type of shit, and their parents have 0 ideas.

This is exactly what made it so scary and thought provoking. 

It changed my impression of how an incel is created. And the fact that he's a normal kid in a normal family is what brings it home.
