Ah, I see the this already has dumb ass "don't watch it then" fans just like it's another TV show.
All we're missing is someone complaining about the casting of a crippled brown guy.
Don't get me wrong, it's a shit thing to do, and I disagree with capital punishment, not to mention pretty much everything that fucking country is doing at the moment. I'm just not sure that a ban from Australia will have much effect. The sickos will find a way to watch it anyway.
Have you considered that a ban from Australia may simply help Australians?
Also, Australia implemented a social media ban for under 16's which has paved the way for other countries to do the same.
The world needs to send a clear message. Idiocracy was never supposed to be a documentary. Executions are not entertainment.
I agree with all of that, but check out how successful that social media ban has been. It was poorly thought out and rushed through against the advice of all the experts, and is pretty easily circumvented.
The only thing I have any agency over is my own actions. Banned or not, the choice is still ours.
