PopCon #90: ‘Adolescence’ and the Agenda Against Young Men
Our team unpacks the danger of Netflix trying to fix a problem — in this case, “toxic masculinity” — that doesn’t exist.
The new Netflix show “Adolescence,” which chronicles how online toxic masculinity leads a 13-year-old boy to commit murder, has so grabbed the emotions of the UK prime minister that he wants to make every student in his country watch it. The idea is that toxic masculinity is a threat to British society, but the true underlying problems are being conveniently ignored. Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew as they unpack the danger of trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.
