[UK] LIVE: 'Adolescence' Creators Testifies in Parliament on Misogyny in Media

Any ideas why this misery of a "drama" suddenly appeared this year? Like, most violent incel actions for example, happened during late 2000s and early 2010s. What made them suddenly say "oh my God, oh my God teenage boys are going to enslave females again!" and want to make it a psychological series after more than a decade later?

I'm starting to hate that series. People act like its undeniable evidence and represents all men. Why is everyone clinging to this one so much?

The same parliament that ignores real rapists and real sex crimes. UK is lost.

It’s taking an inordinate amount of time to watch this. Only got to the second panel.

They’re lowballing him and there’s little to no merit to any of it. It’s all based on supposition. The writers and panel don’t know what their talking about. The elements mentioned during the panel weren’t in the show whatsoever.

Also Thorne straight up lies. He stated he had to change his algorithms for research purposes. Then mentioned about it only taking twenty-six minutes to find such material — which he doesn’t define. Then on to children, that they could be looking for their favourite thing — he mentions Minecraft — and they’ll eventually find such material. Then finally it’s just there.

It’s the algorithms. He even mentions that in regards to the question about ‘conspiracy theories’ mentioned in relation to the opposition leader — something along the lines of maybe that’s down to her social media algorithms. That’s demeaning. The implication there is, Badenoch can’t form her own ideas and has to use social media.

People are gaming the algorithms. Not even sure misogyny makes up a part of that. A long time ago there were those videos with an FPS game in the background and this guy complained about women who appeared in these street interviews. Think he referred to them as landwhales. That’s the only one I can think of.

There’s no connections between say Minecraft and online misogyny. They didn’t go beyond asking him the type of material he’d been consuming for his ‘research.’ That just stopped at just a list of platforms he’d be using and one mention that stuff keeps popping up now and again.

That’s terrible practice and none of that research actually made it in to the series. The only reason why it’s being mentioned is so they can form policy around vague notions social media had an hand in it in a murder in a freaking fictional drama.

Whilst ignoring the hooks social media are getting into people. It isn’t just the algorithms, it’s also the Tamagotchi nature of them. The notifications, the need for them for you to interact with them.

TL;DR: It’s a committee of delusional circlejerk fart sniffers.

We can see the communist ideals in feminism/progressives. Totally fake 'evidence' and the contrived setup of the whole thing.

Its about censorship and power.

It’s ridiculous to imagine Thorne (or Graham either) are “experts” in any way, shape or form. Still, at least they’re not asking the actors! Martin Sheen played Kennedy in a miniseries and a fictional President in a TV show and he’s asked questions as if he really held the Office and has some special insight.

The question is this: are our countries run by actual morons, or is this just propaganda to enable them to do what they already want to do with a “oh but think of the children” and “think of the women” and sucking up feminists at the same time.

I tend to feel both are true.

What makes them qualified to speak on this?

After the recent election Labour should be calling a general election before they cause more damage.

It is mind boggling that these content creators are being treated as experts. They are just repeating feminist propaganda about Andrew Tate and incels. It is scary that 1984 mindspeak uses a fictional drama to reinforce preconceptions thus creating an infinite loop of self reinforcement.
