Netflix drama demonstrates that smartphones are poison for boys’ minds. Only boys minds.

Tireless_AlphaFox · 2025-03-24T03:43:12+00:00

This article is so retarded. The author claims the solution to problems like Andrew Tate is governmental restriction over smartphone usage. It's hard to imagine that an actual journalist with a functioning brain wrote this garbage

You know what this really about. They are going to close down women’s prisons and stop jailing women for any crime as part of policy. Girls’ juvenile facilities are already closed. They will use this to ban spaces that discuss these female supremacist policies.

Justice secretary Shabana Mahmood unveils plan to shut women’s prisons amid overcrowding crisis

Women’s Justice Board begins plans to send fewer women to prison

Government no longer places girls in Young Offender Institutions

Girls can now bully, hit, abuse, sexually abuse and even kill boys without facing any consequences and at the same time boys will be jailed if a girl falsely accuses you of "looking at her wrong".

Women will only be jailed for serious crimes, Justice Secretary reveals

in the UK they don't recognize female rapists and hardly send women to jail anyway for sexual crimes against minors if the victim is an underage male. Here are some of the totally non-serious crimes women were already not jailed for.

Drunk dental receptionist who groped schoolboy, 13, and told him she wanted to 'ride him till morning' before exposing herself and waking up 'remembering nothing' after a white wine binge is spared jail

PERV MISS Female teacher who had sex with pupil, 16, after grooming him with X-rated pics sobs as she’s spared jail

Dance teacher, 48, spared jail after bombarding boy, 13, with 'intensely sexual' texts

Lavinia Woodward: Oxford student who was told she could avoid prison sentence 'due to her extraordinary talent' is spared jail (extraordinary talent of being born with a vagina)

I want to highlight that if women aren’t imprisoned for those offenses, it makes you wonder about the conditions of those already incarcerated. Also in rare times they are sent to prison this happens.

Judges ordered to show more mercy on women criminals when deciding sentences

Discussing these topics online in the UK can lead to being jailed for extremist views or misogyny. This is the underlying reality that’s being promoted. I truly hope that men and boys in the UK will stand up against this.

Pecking_Boi0330 · 2025-03-24T03:38:52+00:00

It absolutely baffles me

The true story has nothing to do with “toxic masculinity”

They went out of their way to make this story against men lol

Factual_Statistician · 2025-03-24T05:21:20+00:00

Considering Netflix has cuties not surprising at all they polished this slop.

scenezfromamemory · 2025-03-24T09:14:52+00:00

Perhaps the problem is the constant demonization of men and invalidation of their feelings and problems. There are literally thousands of videos and trends of women dunking on men, generalizing all of us and putting normal men in the same category as Ted Bundy or ER, and saying they’re subhuman, which enables young boys to become redpilled and adhere to dangerous ideologies. Perhaps it’s the "man vs bear", ”all men”, ”men are useless”, "men aren't able to love, be empathic or have normal human emotions and are just soulless ghouls who want to hurt women" mentality that has pushed men to find solace in extremist figures and ideologies like the bald man.

DickPin · 2025-03-24T09:03:29+00:00

Hmm, yeah and let's just ignore the metric tonne of cyber bullying girls do to other girls and boys.

elebrin · 2025-03-24T11:36:42+00:00

Because boys are meant to listen and do. Listen to what Mommy and the female school teachers and female school staff and female school administration tell him to do, and then do exactly that, correctly - not the way she said it, but the way he just KNEW she wanted it done, the way he knows he is supposed to.

If a young boy has the internet he might listen to a man and get some different ideas.

iheartzigg · 2025-03-24T08:26:54+00:00

That's funny, I thought the show was about how bullying drove a child to murder, not smartphone usage.

69PointstoSlytherin · 2025-03-24T04:11:51+00:00

So glad I've never had a netflix account.

Sam__Toucan · 2025-03-24T08:11:39+00:00

The tv show in question is fiction, yet they act like it is true because it suits their agenda

avjayarathne · 2025-03-24T07:00:07+00:00

of course; guardian, it's always them

lowsodiummonkey · 2025-03-24T13:45:42+00:00

It’s well know that social media effects girls so much more since they are heavier into social relationships.

Emergency-Thanks-324 · 2025-03-24T03:37:28+00:00

And yet both my nieces were bullied at school,one became a tomboy stating boys have less drama, the other left. And my nephew loved school

IANVS · 2025-03-24T16:10:51+00:00

Someone on the 4chan (of all places) described perfectly the root of this crap: https://i.imgur.com/7uKX0XE.jpeg

Of course, it's not just the migrants but rather censorship in general but it's pulling the wool over people's eyes and misandry nonetheless...

Ok_Night_7767 · 2025-03-24T16:22:46+00:00

Isn't this really just an attempt to discredit any and all members of the men's rights movements? Why attempt to argue against obvious inequities when you can simply vilify the movement and end discussion?

Every article of this nature always refers to "Andrew Tate and others", with the implication that all other MRMs are radical. Of course, there are no radical feminists nor has there ever been any! If you believe that, I have a kilogram of unobtainium to sell.

SlyPogona · 2025-03-24T23:48:24+00:00

Is the videogame/metal music/D&D/ scare all over again, same mistakes, stupid conclussions and lessons not learnt, only difference is that the panic is not coming from the percieved conservatives, but suppsedly progressives.

No_Reaction_2168 · 2025-03-24T11:39:04+00:00

Everyone's always so concerned for women's well being that they forget that men are human too. We are starved of empathy when women are drowning in it, and some can't handle the injustice.

walterwallcarpet · 2025-03-24T18:16:11+00:00

"There's a case in Canada where teen girls collected on Facebook to kill a homeless man for no good reason. Tell me again how the internet and cellphones are toxic for young boys only."

Oh, the horrible stuff which can be found on the cellphones of young girls...like a 12 year old girl encouraging a 14 year old boy to kill an 80 year old man in GB. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79802en4p8o

babno · 2025-03-24T11:08:57+00:00

TBF, smart phones (particularly social media which they enable) IS terrible for young people (and everyone else too, though not quite as much). It would be better if they didn't have access to them IMO. However that decision should be with parents, not any sort of legislation or government.

Polyfluorite · 2025-03-24T08:04:41+00:00

Should I watch this show? I’m starting to think I shouldn’t especially with my gf.

SecTeff · 2025-03-26T08:05:54+00:00

There is such a lack of accuracy in terms. How is Tate a Men’s rights activist? AFAIK He’s not there campaigning to improve the rights of men on any material issues.

Over the past few weeks I’ve seen Incel/Tate/MRA/Manosphere all used interchangeably.

What is this

“A central trait of MRA culture, for example, is that followers are obsessed with their status“

Like of if MRA culture is a thing then surely this sub must represent it. Honestly I’ve don’t ever seen a post about status.

She’s conflating the pick up artist / Tate alplha mindset types with MRA

Factual_Statistician · 2025-03-24T05:09:53+00:00

The actual answer is shoeonhead the leftist Andrew tate.

Both sides of sheep hate her, she's perfect.

Former-Whole8292 · 2025-03-24T05:08:34+00:00

I watched it and did a good job showing that 1) her friend becomes violent with his friend, showing that young girls have violence in them too, 2) the fact that all the kids are reacting to porn and the murdered girl had sent naked pics to another boy, demonstrating how the hypersexuality is messing up both sides, 3) the girl’s reaction to him was probably mean but this particular boy had a combination of extreme insecurity about his looks (which we normally only empathize with girls), his father’s temper, anger at girls, and a knife in his pocket.

I actually thought the series couldve done more to show his friends’ pov, the girls’ pov, etc. I just thought it was a little boring.

But the portrayal of the boy was well written and I didnt think it was anti boy/man. It’s just that when boys’ anger amps up to this level, they are still MORE likely to kill or do serious physical damage.

TiddybraXton333 · 2025-03-24T09:02:23+00:00

As guys, we should just disconnect from all social media. I’ve only had the redddit app for about 15 years now.

Also there should be a age restriction on social media aswell

hendrixski · 2025-03-24T15:03:06+00:00

To be fair... smartphones and social media ARE poisonous. They're damaging our social lives, ruining our sleep cycles, giving us unrealistic body expectations and making us value materialistic garbage. All of which hurts us physically, mentally, and spiritually.

What's not fair about this focus on smartphones, is the lack of focus on boys as the victims of corporate exploitation. Rather it paints boys as the bad actors in the situation - which is just adding insult to injury.

We need to protect boys and men from corporate exploitation not blame them for the effects.

PythonPussy · 2025-03-25T15:47:26+00:00

Very intriguing. I was under the impression that the ubiquity of women injecting themselves with plastic in their cheeks, lips, tits, and ass along with obsessively editing pictures and videos of their bodies to impress strangers on social media was poison for their minds but I stand corrected I guess.

king_rootin_tootin · 2025-03-26T02:55:04+00:00

So they already forgot about that movie "Cyberbully" that quickly?

Frewdy1 · 2025-03-28T11:44:14+00:00

I’m not seeing how they made the claim that it’s only boys and not both boys and girls. Don’t you people want people to address issues boys/men encounter?

Just_an_user_160 · 2025-03-24T19:35:25+00:00

Imagine taking a Netflix drama so seriously as if it was a documentary about a warzone lol.

Murakami8000 · 2025-03-24T12:40:19+00:00

You could make the argument that a movie like “Ingrid Goes West” is a commentary on a woman’s addiction to social media/internet fame which leads to murder. Also the film “we’re all going to the worlds fair” features a female protagonist consumed by the internet and leads to her isolation. Just bc we have a series telling one story doesn’t mean we can’t have stories that feature another gender that fall along the same themes. Has anyone here watched the series? I’ve heard it’s actually good and i do like Stephen Graham.

AnuroopRohini · 2025-03-25T07:35:39+00:00

lol "The Guardian"

2025-03-30T20:32:09+00:00

wait sorry are you upset by the show or by the article? The show is very poignant imo

Much-Neat7641 · 2025-03-31T00:09:48+00:00

What do you expect with millenia of men don't have feelings.

Yeah....maybe we don't MANipulate things internally as much as women, plus we have been pushed by the PR campaign to think sex with women is great, I've slept with over 40 females and I can tell you now only one would have me coming back but because she is non empathetic I wouldn't go back.

Sexuality has been my biggest regret.

SmooK_LV · 2025-03-24T07:49:36+00:00

I'll have to disagree. Adolescent was well written show, well balanced. It simply wasn't focused on the issues women face. I wish we could also have equal show focused on women as well as this was excellent exploration on masculinity, trauma and issues men face.

And show wasn't about social media poisoning anyone, it was more of society being screwed up. Just social media plays important part of that.

Emergency-Thanks-324 · 2025-03-27T10:39:58+00:00

I also love that they never mention that misogyny is a response to the decades of male hate from femenists. Name calling. Blaming men for everything. But oh no. YOURE JUST WASOGYNY. WAAAAHSOGYNY. 🙄🤢🤮

THE only true sexist cunts I've seen in my 39 years on this planet are middle aged women, usually 40 onwards. Most men are taught never to hit a women. Most men will ALLWAYS say, " I love women " when they realize they are blaming or critiquing women for something. Women never do that. They just hate. They are TRULY SEXIST. In the definition of the word. Btw before some idiot starts whining, you blame women for you're own failures, ice NEVER blamed any1 but myself for any personal failures, I'm my own worst critique and ALLWAYS have been, if anything I'm overly hard on myself. So please stfu with that shit.
