A Sharon stone character inspires brutality in the Internet age.
The abused go through a rabbit hole. On the other side they either come out as the hero who will prevent any further bulling around them or turn the book upside down, emerges an abuser. A google search reveals approximately 5% of the internet consists of the black hole called “Dark Web”. The real menace is the invention of SHARE button. Irrespective of the quality of the video, the content could be stomach churning yet it could induce the likelihood of being shared. To stop others from doing it, to let people know the extents of brutality mankind has crossed. All of us are part of the fuckfest willingly or otherwise.
The story is said with cunning use of magnification of fonts to imply impact and red notifications used as trigger warnings. The docu-series only three episodes long will make you squirm in your seats. Heinous might be an underestimation for the amount of brutality undergone by the victims in the case. An abused boy mirrors reel life of a character to gain fame. Endings are joyous only for characters in Hollywood, the poor boy suffering from alienation and mortification takes steps to ultimately gain something we all need in our lives every day, attention.
Sanity commands empathy and question. Killing animals, filming them isn’t part of a daily youtuber’s life. This sort of a sinister act doesn’t deserve views, let alone a series about it. Our glorification of deeply disturbing acts committed by drug lords and gangsters have led to a genre legitimizing documentary on serial killers and mentally ill people. Never before has content had a category of cringe dedicated to it. Dedicated websites to cater to the demand and supply model points to our moral turpitude as a race.
