So when Netflix made a film adaptation of 13 Reasons Why they called in specialists to try and make it tasteful. What happened was they were faxed a list of shit NOT TO DO, only some dumbass in charge of production mistook it for a list of "THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD DO! DO IT! IT'LL BE FUNNY!", leading to outrage from said professionals who then pondered why they were consulted at all if they were going to be so blatantly ignored and a spike of suicides that coincided with release of the thing. Ya know cause glorifying suicide to a bunch of suicidal people is probably not going to end well.
Anyway, when that guy got fired from Netflix, I'm sure he got hired for the Dark Cabal that writes the talking points for the mass media.
Because they definitely sent him a list of "Shit not to do, because if you did it it would just make Luigi into even more of a Modern Day Robin Hood" and he proceeded to mistake it for a "Definitely do this, because it'll totally get people to mourn Brian Thomspon." list
That seems too simplified. Could you point me to where i could read more about this story? Can't seem to find anything about this advice from specialists
It was just a joke. The part about them hiring that guy for this spin I mean.
Netflix really did do the "13 Reasons Why" fuck up
That's what i meant, i want to learn more about that fuck up
I read about it on TVTropes
From the fact that the person repeats it in the same comment due to forgetting they already said that joke, we can safely assume it is made up
