    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! 🤦

    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.

          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.
