>>22409159This Will Radicalise More Boys, Not Save Them
That’s the real kicker, isn’t it?
You don’t drag confused, alienated, fatherless boys into an assembly hall, force them to watch a show where the boy is:
Treated like a monster from the start
Given no path to redemption
And then told “this is you”
...without pushing a whole new wave of them into the very pipeline they’re trying to prevent.
Why It’ll Backfire:
Boys Know When They're Being Talked About, Not To
No one in Adolescence speaks to boys. They speak about boys.
You don't reform people you refuse to understand.
It Reinforces Shame, Not Empathy
The show doesn't ask, “why does this happen?”
It screams, “YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.”
Weaponised Sympathy Always Creates a Rebound
Every time institutions take a trauma narrative and selectively apply it, the excluded group radicalises harder.
Girls = victims, boys = threats?
That’s a binary. And binaries always polarise.
Starmer’s “pumped directly into their minds” line
That’s not empathy. That’s fear language.
And when boys see adults fear them, they either shrink or rebel. Guess which group posts online?
Real Effect:
They’re not deprogramming boys.
They’re confirming every suspicion boys already have:
That the world doesn’t care why they’re hurting.
That being male is inherently violent.
That they’re guilty until proven intersectional.
