I don't know, it's probably just me being the least fun at parties, but I was pretty shocked that people thought The Purge concept seemed fun/exciting. it would get unfathomably dark when you think about what kind of monsters are out there. Is someone going to go make sure someone doesn't kill every kitten in the animal shelter? Not to mention crimes against children. Most of those cases are people in the same household. Are you going to go out with a gun to make sure Father Bad-Touch doesn't go crazy in the orphanage once a year?
I haven't watched the movies, so I don't know if they address that or not. I'm guessing not, because who would want to watch that?
I agree but have to downvote the ridiculous tiktok self-censoring. This isn't corporate social media, stop with the newspeak
I agree with your opinion, but I don't see any of that in the comment above. What specifically are you talking about? I'm guessing "father bad-touch", but that seems like a perfect euphemism for a father who does bad things to their child but hasn't been held accountable yet.
Why not say "sexual abuse", "paedophilia", "abuse", "assault"? "Father bad touch" is almost ironic, like "pew pew" for gun and a grape emoji for rape
Thats a fun name for pedo priest. Doesnt read as self censor to me.
Because those don't make good nicknames. He's not calling the act "father bad touch." He's saying his name is "father bad touch."
