If kenny is completely innocent it just loses all bite
how can getting crucified for doing nothing of any consequence and getting evidence planted on him not have any bite.
These are things no one has control over right now.
to me anyway it would have far more bite if he didn't deserve it at all, just the victim of an equal opportunity internet troll.
is it more or less poignant when some unexpected person gets SWAT'd? (calling the cops and the SWAT team on some hapless person?)
directing society's anti pedo vitriol on an innocent person who can't defend himself with the odds stacked against him is a perfect dark future. People don't even want to consider that the target might be a victim on that topic and the puppet master has his fun free of consequence and insulated by technology.
It would be a modern day crucifixion or lynching rile up the mob and use them to victimize an innocent.
When I expect black mirror I'm not expecting a merlot but something akin to drinking gasoline and then lighting up a smoke.
nothing has changed about the bulk of humanity we just have toys that can multiply that stupidity in both speed and size, which is usually the theme for black mirror
Even the final episode suffers from this, which I just watched.
"got him" come on...
both of these are designed to placate just world fallacy audiences like you
in the real world, bad things happen to people who don't deserve it
At this point I'm likely to agree with you that both the last two episodes are designed by a team who can't embrace the horror of the worlds they create to the fullest extent. The audience must be placated and either the perpetrator gets his just desserts or the victim deserved it.
pshaw
