Netflix: takes chance on relatively unknown creators’ dystopic fiction show about capitalism and the rich exploiting the poor for entertainment
sees program become a surprise mega-success
makes a reality show emulating the plot of the show, for profit
They basically built the fucking Torment Nexus! 🤦
Perhaps, but I’m still not going back there.
Me neither, I just scrap the reddit to add some media to my shitpost collection
It’s just slightly classier BumFights
How did it get approved? Why does he still have a career?Drag thought the point of Squid Game is that risking death to play sick games for the amusement of the rich is better than living under capitalism.
Squid Games is only possible under capitalism. In fact, I’d say SG is peak capitalism.
Couldnt this happen in an authoritarian society, independent of economical system?
I suppose but I can’t see what the point would be for say a communist authoritarian society considering they already have control and no one has extra.
