Netflix has just released a 4-part British miniseries entitled "Adolescence", which depicts a teenaged (ofc white British) incel who murders a female classmate because she rejected his advances. The series is of course already a darling with critics, receiving a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is also one of the most vile, petty, spiteful and overall disgusting pieces of anti-male propaganda that I have ever witnessed, made all the more infuriating because the target of its poisonous agitprop is not just grown men, but specifically boys.
IMDB has, of course, deleted my negative review of the show and removed my 1-star rating, even after I drastically pulled my punches, which has prompted me to finally delete my IMDB account. But this piece of trash pissed me off enough that I need to vent some of the "male rage" that the show's lead writer made it clear is the subject of his production, so I figured I'd post my unabridged rant here instead.
The first thing to note about the series is that quite aside from its subject matter, everything else about it is also deisgned as award-bait. Each episode is shot as one long, continuous take: an unabashed, self-congratulatory appeal to the high-minded basement-dwellers who pretentiously call themselves "cinephiles." The show's dialogue and casting are also clearly designed to appeal to the self-indulgent urban elitists who make up the critic class. I am extremely disapponted in Stephen Graham, an actor for whom I have a lot of respect, for taking on this project, but the guy's such a workoholic that he probably doesn't pass on much of anything that he's offered.
But the truly infuriating aspect is the show's cultural agenda. In a country where potentially hundreds of thousands of young white girls have been systematically raped and violated over decades by the newly imported replacement demographic, aided and abetted by the police and government authorities, the subject of this impotent, self-flagellating psychodrama is a 13-year-old white working class boy who violently stabs a female classmate to death because he felt rejected by her.
Of course, it's not enough to single out just one imaginary case of a murderous juvenile incel. The series specifically mentions the "manosphere," and its overt goal is of course to stir up the ongoing moral panic surrounding influencers like Andrew Tate, who is never mentioned by name, but whose shadow looms imposingly over every line of dialogue. Nor is it sufficient to portray the young boys in the show as mere victims of incel propaganda: they are of course male, and so according to feminist dogma can never be victims of anything. Instead, every adolescent boy in the show, not just the lead character who commits the murder, is portrayed as an animalistic powderkeg of pent-up masculine rage, barely contained by the civilizing constraints of feminized society, which is the only thing preventing all of them from turning into the misogynistic murder machines that they are apparently all born to be.
This portrayal is not limited to the juvenile male characters either. In fact, the only male character in the entire show who is portrayed in any way positively is the black police officer who is the lead investigator of the murder. Even the boy's father, played by Stephen Graham, is shown to be an inept, inattentive parent who is totally oblivious to the sinister online rabbit-hole his son has embarked into, who later develops a hair-trigger temper when his denial is overcome and he is forced to confront what his son has done, whereupon he lashes out violently and everyone and everything around him.
The heroes of the show, by contrast, are the black lead investigator, his female partner, and especially the female therapist who, through a combination of manipulation and coercion, convinces the homicidal teenager to confess to his crime, culminating in a yass-queen girlboss sequence where she calmly sticks it to him and forces him to back down after he loses his temper.
Altogether, this show can only be interpeted as a deliberate, spiteful, vindictive indictment of maleness and masculinity, unwilling to give even young boys the benefit of the doubt, basing its hateful propaganda on a fictionalized version of an incident for which I'm not aware of even a single real-world parralel in the UK. It seems deliberatley designed to stoke middle-class hand-wringing over the growing anti-feminist backlash online, to drive a wedge between any parents who consume thos content and their own sons, whom the show implores them to regard with suspicion and revulsion. Worse, given the timing of its production and release, it also seems to be a deliberate attempt to refocus the attention of mainstream British society away from the real and actual threat to the safety of young girls in the UK.
Ultimately, this show demonstrates a profound lack of self-awareness or reflection, and it is a monumental exercise in doubling down. Its answer to the alienation, frustration, loneliness, fear and ennui that has gripped an entire generation of young boys as a result of feminist demonization and ostracization is to lambast them with yet more of the same. This is a glaring example of why feminism and, in the case of this show's lead writer, male weakness in the face of feminism has always been both the progenitor of the woke cultural movement and the final boss that must be defeated in order to put an end to it.
This went on longer than I intended.
Interesting that they made the kid working-class. The left really fucking hates poor white people more than anyone else
In this context specifically, and especially in England, working-class white men are much more likely to behave in ways that are more conventionally masculine. In the middle and upper-class mind, they're often associated with football, hooliganism and pub culture, all of those unrefined things that make feminized university graduates squirm uncomfortably.
It’s a similar dynamic in the US. I grew up working class and am now in the professional class, and the amount of horrible shit I hear “educated”, “empathetic” people say about the people they view as their unwashed inferiors is pretty shocking.
It’s so common too. When leftists say “Americans are so stupid” they mean the White working class that didn’t go to college.
Yep, I don’t even buy into any kind of mythology that working-class people are all magical secret folk-geniuses or anything like that, but in my observation, the distribution of intelligence among people who aren’t formally educated is about the same as it is among people who are formally educated, which doesn’t speak too highly of formal education. Makes it even funnier when these people cop an attitude. I’m like, “my dad has a fourth-grade education obtained in an exceedingly poor part of World War II Europe, and he has markedly better critical thinking skills than you do, so maybe calm the fuck down and know your role.”
It doesn't even have to be a class level difference.
Watch how most of America talks about the various flavor of Southerner and you'll hear the most bigoted, hateful things possible about people who might be more educated and better off than most of them. I moved out of the South in my late teens and despite being a GT/Honor student at the time, I had D-average kids talking to me expecting I was a drooling inbred retarded.
And as good progressive kids, they assumed I must be racist and, in a skit straight out of South Park, went full on "we don't take kindly to people who don't tolerate others based on the conditions of their birth around here!"
So it's hate born of fear, good to know.
Poor White people start revolutions against the people who deserve revolting against. Feminists, minorities, fags, Semites, trannies, & Communists know it’s them so they have to affirm and validate each other.
Always have. They need "the workers" to advance their agenda but then immediately turn on the "rabble." See: Holodomor
Can’t say I’m surprised. I cancelled Netflix in 21 and their race agenda was one of the reasons I gave when they asked. Plus a selling point for me in a streaming service is how many old shows they have. I think Netflix has moved away from that.
Based on the description you gave I’m not surprised at all the critics loved this. As you said a miniseries targeting the rape gangs would “reflect reality” so much more. When I see critics get this excited I’m pretty sure why
Tubi or not Tubi? It has Scooby Doo Olympics.
I love Tubi. They have so much older content and even quite a few short lived shows like the Police Academy tv series and The Critic
Cartoon police academy or live action? I loved the toys for the cartoon.
The live action was on there. I have all 7 movies on dvd and also the cartoon. I think a few of the cartoons are on YouTube. I can watch those movies over and over
Meanwhile how many shows have depicted women conspiring to murder "abusive" men as a good thing, and celebrated them getting away with it?
Yeah, and the bar for abusive behavior is set so low now too. Now if a woman doesn’t get her way and/or gets caught cheating, then suddenly he’s abusive.
If this was your full bore, I don't see what's objectionable about it. You aren't swearing or inciting violence.
If you mean the removal from IMDB, that site has been rendered completely useless as a source for honest audience reviews ever since Amazon bought it. They were definitely freezing voting and removing negative reviews of their own woke trash such as Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, but now most criticism of any woke agitprop, whether produced by Amazon or another company, is removed almost as quickly as it's posted. I even upvoted other negative reviews of this show on its IMDB page, and those votes also disappeared. Before I deleted my account.
That's a shame. I remember when they had message boards. It sucks because you probably didn't even violate TOS but these guys do what they want
I know that "don't watch it" is the standard response, and that isn't bad advice, but I do appreciate the writeup.
Oh my friend, I'm going to break your heart more. Stephen Graham has a writing credit for this.
Yes, I saw that after I posted my rant. From Band of Brothers, Snatch, Boardwalk Empire and Greyhound to this shit heap. It's sad.
Yeah, he is a really good actor. But I always think of him as Tommy from Snatch
Well I guess ze Germans finally got to him.
Just further proof it's possible to excel at character acting while also being a total moron.
Can I take a gander at what type of Leftists made it?
I've watched 13 seconds of the trailer and I immediately knew that that would be the case. Also they couldn't have chosen a more innocent looking boy for the role of the murderer.
Original British Miniseries =
Every time!
(Original = not based on a novel or something, IDK if this is. Even then though.)
If you have sons, watch it on a Tortuga site so that you have a comprehensive understanding of just how they will be treated by all of their teachers and authority figures, just how much this society hates them, and why there can never be peace with feminists.
So it's propaganda to advance their online censorship agenda.
Damn, this was well written.
TL;DR, Netflix
Never in my life have i ever consumed anything made by Kikeflix and i'm mighty proud of that
A demoralisation tactic...
Thank you for the breakdown. I noticed Graham had been putting out some great work in some areas, and there are a few things I believe I may have added to the watchlist, but I doubt (or I hope) this was not one of them.
Meanwhile, the anime Dangers In My Heart is about a "you were my one friend, don't come to school tomorrow" type guy who gets sincerely interacted with despite his significant peculiarities and red flags and is slowly dragged into the general social spheres of the school, and it is well-regarded as one of the better romance series out there by audiences.
Start with the same baseline as this Netflicks show, go the exact opposite course, and you get something audiences love but critics hate. Amazing how that works.
