So do you like Stephen Graham now, fruitbat? Prepared to concede that maybe you were prejudiced against
Adolescence by the ridiculous alt-right content you relentlessly copy and paste here in lieu of an actual opinion on the matter?
I mean, we couldn't even talk about , so effusive was your copy and paste attack.
If i told you now that
Adolescence was about a young boy who was hurt and vulnerable and was inspired by radical online content that preyed upon his weakness and curiosity? As, it sounds, is Stephen Graham's book.
Adolescence was a story lovingly told.
It is a story we are being told by teachers and care givers. It is a very real problem.
And as Stephen Graham so saliently pus it, the fault is not with our boys ... there is something wrong in society. There is a weakness here. We need to talk about it without being harangued off of the arena.
So Frank, will you watch
Adolescence?
This guy murdered three little girls
Within months, Netflix comes out with this
And so I posted a pertinent Douglas Murray view (you are not above posting entire articles in support of your own take on issues, frightbat), which opens with the obvious:
Do you remember the great Adolescence debate?
There are epidemics of knife crime in the UK, but none of them involve 13-year-old white boys from stable homes murdering female contemporaries because their brains have been warped by online influencers.A major source of knife crime in London is black teenagers stabbing other black teenagers because they dared to step into the territory of – or otherwise diss – a rival gang. Last year there was a knife-related murder most days of the year in England and Wales, and more than 3,500 hospital admissions for knife attacks involving weapons ranging from kitchen knives to machetes. In the past year the Metropolitan Police has recorded 15,182 knife crimes in London, an increase on the previous year. These included the murder of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa, who was stabbed to death on a bus in Woolwich in January.
Surely this would be the sort of thing a dramatist might be interested in? But I suppose that the structure of companies such as Netflix, and certainly the structure of our political debate, does not incline to dwelling on uncomfortable subjects when comparatively comfortable fictional ones are there for the taking.
Murray also point out that a Lzbour MP frightbat's "rage was directed at the notion of even mentioning the biggest child abuse scandal in British history. A woman who doubtless thinks she is a decent and moral human being clearly believed that bringing up the industrial-scale gang rape of British children is the actual disgrace, rather than the scandal itself."
So Adolescence is as misplaced and cack-handed in the currwnt political and cultural context and time as a black Anne Boleyn or Mackbeth or Snow White.
