"13 reasons why is bad: a summary
- romanticises mental illness
- incredibly triggering
- no compelling story
- boring main character
- 9000 bike riding scenes honestly what the hell
- main girl wrecks main guys life for no apparent reason
- feels like a john green book, and not in a good way
- just, Yikes"
"13 reasons why is a bad show that creates a suicide revenge fantasy rather than addressing the mental illness that causes it"
"It treats suicide as some kind of revenge game.
Hannah’s whole suicide plot was terrible. To summarise, she made a bunch of cassette tapes, 13 to be exact (hence the show’s name), and each tape had a reason why she killed herself. But they weren’t just reasons, she was blaming a person on each tape. This gives the impression, especially towards a younger audience, that we do not have to take responsibility for our own actions. This show suggests that shifting the blame and targeting people is okay, when it isn’t. The whole concept behind the tapes were to pass them around to each person, like some kind of game. I mean, there was a fucking map that had locations for you to visit to “understand the story more”. It’s as if Hannah’s suicide was entirely just to get revenge and make others feel bad for what they did to her, which is an unhealthy and incorrect way to portray suicide.
The usage of graphic imagery.
If you are familiar with the show, you will know that they are not afraid to show very graphic and disturbing scenes, especially with the last episodes on both season 1 and 2. Whilst I understand that the show is trying to show how gruesome and brutal suicide, rape and assault can be, however having the entire scene shown is very triggering, especially to those who’ve experienced the type of things they are showing. Rather than putting those horrific scenes on screen, they could’ve simply explained how the character’s felt. This would’ve been much better as people who have experienced these traumatic events could relate to it in a way where it won’t trigger bad memories and such. Some of the scenes in this show are unnecessary and serve no purpose. The only valid reason I can think of is for shock value. People who have lived it do not need to relive it through a graphic scene of a character’s experience.
Poor portrayal of mental illness.
Why would you make a show directed towards people with mental illness, and then proceed to say “wELL dOnT wAtCh iT” when it genuinely triggers someone with a mental illness. They say this show “helps” people, but it doesn’t. By showing graphic imagery, it only makes things worse for people who have experienced suicidal thoughts and/or rape. And it’s not even that — they didn’t even mention Hannah’s mental illness throughout the entire series. I don’t even think the word ‘depression’ was brought up once (correct me if I’m wrong). Although it’s quite clear and obvious Hannah is struggling with depression, otherwise she wouldn’t have resorted to suicide, the show does no job of discussing how mental illness affected Hannah, and other characters too.
Adults are dumb and can’t help you.
The parents, the school counsellor, jesus. These are grown adults and they’re acting like children, which is extremely unrealistic. I understand that in some situations, adults may act like this, perhaps even worse. But this show is supposed to help people, and by making the adults completely clueless, it’s giving out the message that they can’t help you and you are alone. Mr. Porter, or whatever his name was, is the school counsellor. Hannah goes to him for support, which is a good thing to do and to show that getting help is an option. But that is later ruined when Hannah blatantly tells him she was sexually assaulted and wants to end her life. What does Mr. Porter do? He acts like it’s a joke and says he can’t help her unless she tells him the person who sexually assaulted her. Whilst I understand that he cannot protect her from her rapist, he could’ve — and should’ve — payed more attention to what he can do, which was stop her from ending her life. It paints out adults to be clueless idiots, and then when Hannah gets angry and Mr. Porter and walks away, he continues to do nothing"
