threads like this are a symptom of the trend to see everything in terms of entertainment (in the form of drama in this case).
accepted thing when talking about fiction (a villain in film etc) but now freely extended to reality tv
uncomfortable imo, bc we're talking about real people
Roxanne created a lot of drama and suspense, but her problems are real, she's not a character written, acted and discarded, there's a real tragedy of a disturbed mind behind her "entertainment"
the same with Ryan, ok, a pillock, but a pillock who could have been ruined
and it's not just tv, it happens closer to home, on the forum for example
a delusional fm claiming to be god is seen as a scream, entertainment, value for money
where do we draw a line? do we draw it at all?
would a murder in bb house be also seen as entertainment? how about a fm attempting suicide online?
tbh, with this line of thinking, Idk anymore
