Netflix continually shows an absolute lack of regard for basic decency when it comes to the content they offer subscribers.
Perhaps the single greatest offender among Netflix’s offerings is ‘13 Reasons Why,’ their smash hit teen drama laced with suicide, rape, graphic sex scenes, and more. Everything you want your children to be inundated with all in one convenient television series, right?
13RW goes beyond typical sin-glorifying entertainment, however. Centered largely around the suicide of Hannah Baker, one of its main characters, the show has prompted copycat suicides.
According to the American Family Association, a young woman, Anna Bright took her own life on April 18, 2017. Upon discovering their child’s lifeless body killed in such a gruesome way, Anna’s parents thought she’d been murdered.

Netflix Ignores Pleas From Parents, Psychologists To Pull “Perverted and Pointless” 13 Reasons Why Amid Copycat Suicides

Dear parents
Please be aware of what your kids are watching on TV.
I used to really enjoy Netflix
We unsubscribed about 2 years ago
Liberalism destroys children, and other living things.
They stopped carrying Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
The last reason we kept Netflix
It's ok, he's a senior doing double duty on football and band this year, while getting the best grades he's had since middle school (before he morphed into a "terrible teen", and all that implies).
I don't attribute this positive change to my skills as a dad, I give credit to the football coach who holds all of his players to high standards. Sometimes, a kid needs to hear a message from someone other his/her parents for it to take hold.
When the Obozos joined the Board Netflix died.
Wait until these “activist Mommy’s” notice Altered Carbon and Sense8...
Never had Netflix (aside from free months) if you do not like their programming, cancel and spend your savings on steak and lobster.
Fastest way for parents to protect their teens and kids in this instance is to end the netflix subscription.
If I had teens and this was an issue, it is a one minute thing to go to the subscriptions section and stop the subscription.
Then DROP NETflix.
I ended Mom’s Netflix subscription shortly after she passed.

13RW goes beyond typical sin-glorifying entertainment, however. Centered largely around the suicide of Hannah Baker, one of its main characters, the show has prompted copycat suicides.
According to the American Family Association, a young woman, Anna Bright took her own life on April 18, 2017. Upon discovering their child’s lifeless body killed in such a gruesome way, Anna’s parents thought she’d been murdered.
AFA reports:
The lead detective said, “Mrs. Bright, she did this.” He also said she mimicked the suicide from the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
Viewing records retrieved afterward revealed that, unbeknownst to her parents and without their permission, Anna had binge-watched the first season of 13RW just two weeks prior to her death.
The show was popular among her peers and even filled the text messages sent back and forth between Anna and a friend during the days leading up to her suicide.

The similarities between Anna Bright and the fictitious Hannah Baker were too many to list, AFA continues:
Hannah left behind a set of recordings; Anna left behind a journal that included seven letters written to specific people.
On the days of their deaths, both Hannah and Anna came home from school, put things in order, and changed into comfortable clothes before ending their lives in a bathtub full of water. Hannah used a razor blade to slit her wrists; Anna shot herself in the head (something her favorite character Alex did during the last episode of Season 1.)
The major difference: Hannah is fictional and her decision was played out as part of a script; it was reversible because it was fake.
Anna Bright isn’t the only victim of 13RW’s mind-infecting darkness.
Bella Herndon and Priscilla Chiu, two Californian teens, took their own lives just days after watching the series. Franco Alonso Lazo Medrano, a 23-year-old in Peru, also committed suicide and left behind recordings that mimicked Hannah Baker’s videos in the series.
In the wake of 13RW’s fallout, several experts denounced the show, including psychiatrist Dr. Fadi Haddad, who told Time Magazine he believes the show distorts teen suicide and depression and directly leads to copycats.
“Some of my colleagues in the ER say … they see kids now saying, ‘I told my mother I’m going to be Hannah Baker,’” Haddad said.
Social worker Brooke Fox called the series “a tutorial on how to complete the act of ending your life,” emphasizing that Hannah Baker’s act of suicide as revenge against those who had wronged her encourages others to follow in the character’s footsteps.
It wasn’t until July of this year, more than two years after Hannah Baker’s graphic suicide scene led to a dramatic spike in Google searches for “how to kill yourself,” that Netflix finally offered a tepid response to concerns about the show’s negative impact on young viewers.
Netflix deleted the three-minute suicide scene from Season 1 and began running a brief “trigger warning” video ahead of each episode, but not until they released a second season once more harping on suicide, rape, and mental illness.
According to a review from AFA, the show’s third season kicks it up a notch with a dark focus-shift onto homicide with one of the show’s antagonists being murdered.
The 13 plus hours of Season 3 contain:
This show is wildly popular and teens are soaking this insanity right up. We must put a stop to it, and AFA is working toward doing just that.
“Although AFA acknowledges the removal of the suicide scene from Season 1 and applauds that there is an end in sight for the series, we are not giving in or giving up, but instead pressing on—stronger now more than ever,” said AFA Executive Vice President Ed Vitagliano of the series. “Together, we are putting the maximum pressure on Netflix to pull all seasons of this dangerous series from its streaming service. The entire series is a dark and depressing primer for impressionable young people, inviting them to enter a realm of perversion, hatred, and violence. Asking Netflix to drop this dangerous series is the right thing to do and critical for the well-being of America’s youth.”
Netflix’s gross negligence and romanticizing of teen suicide are responsible for the lives of people like Anna Bright. With all the sickening events depicted in subsequent seasons, including a fourth and final season currently in production, what other tragedies await the families of young people who watch this show?
Netflix doesn’t care, they don’t want to educate or help young people struggling with these real-life issues. They want to make a cheap buck off of being edgy. Sign the AFA’s petition to tell Netflix we will not stand for their perverted, dangerous “entertainment.” It’s time to #CancelNetflix.

Going to be fun watching Disney+ and the other platforms sink Netflix.
Everything is dark and creepy on Netflix. You really have to scour it to find something half decent. My theory is that the Obamas have decided to go “artist”, which means in their warped mind, bowing to the cult of ugly. So this assault is just to push your pain barriers a little further so you acclimatize to the gruesome. The democrat party does the same thing — push your nonsense barriers a little further until you acclimatize to the insanity. Like zombies they are preparing your brain to harvest.
Kids do copycat the act in stupid dramas. Look at all of the flavor of the month trans-poly-bi sluts these days before they reach adulthood.
The Left pushes chaos. Radical Feminazis who were certifiably crazy and institutionalized wanted inmates running wild in the streets.
They said that “mental illness” was just a charge to keep people from straying from society’s norms.
Everything is relative to the left. However, their ideas of what is true is not relative. They live in contradiction and don’t mind.
