"Predators" on Paramount, because of COURSE it's Paramount, tries to indict Chris Hansen for publicly embarrassing PREDATORS on "To Catch a Predator".
It does not at ALL achieve its aim, first off.
Secondly, it shows soft-voiced, self-proclaimed "sensitive/empathetic" apologist men, cosplaying as intellectuals, and saying that TCAP didn't show the HUMANITY of said PREDATORS.
This "documentary" was careful not to show the un(falsely)repentant characters, or their transcripts; it was CLEARLY a show with an agenda, and that agenda didn't even favor the true victims!!
Chris Hansen should answer for not getting CONVICTIONS, bc those were messed up by the show. That is really all he should feel bad for! The suicide of a district attorney who wanted to hot carl an underage boy should NOT EVEN feel bad to Hansen.
Shitty games yield shitty prizes, man.
The fact that this "documentary" exists is EXTREMELY unnerving to me, esp with the addition of Bari Weiss, essentially, to the Paramount Staff. Paramount is now beholden to Trump, and we cannot become immune to their pedophilic tricks.
The suicide of one high profile PREDATOR is a false equivalency to the lives of terror and suicidal ideation of their VICTIMS. This is a self-important, sophomoric attempt at art school filmmaking, complete with long, poorly edited, boring SILENCES. The only real proponent of us "seeing the humanity" of these PREDATORS has 2 framed, UNHIDDEN children on his desk.
At the end, the interviewer tells CH he is "free to go" in a condescending tone, invoking the phrase from TCAP all those years ago. They then follow CH down the elevator and to his ride waiting outside, then pan the camera to a now saddened, judgemental, silent, bespectacled documentarian gentleman who didn't evennn reaaally set forth a basic premise to the showww, didn't confront CH about said premise in any reallll way, and now wants to feel as if he proved a point (???).
Said gentleman was a VICTIM of a child PREDATOR, and is now upset with CH for not getting to the bottom of why the PREDATORS do what they do.
I am so confused.
It felt like a) he might not really be a victim at all, and may just be faking it to get the heat off of predation, b) be serving the goal of Trump's regime lowering the age of consent and child marriage, c) when a show has one token marginalized person who is ONLY THERE to signify, "Hey i'm cool with this, so you should be too; nothing to see here folks!"
Or as South Park's Trump says, "Relaxxx guyyy." No. Do NOT relax, guy.
