Oh good, more of Hollywood trying to normalize excessive drug use and risky sex under the guise of "this is REAL, man!" by people that haven't been teenagers since The A-Team was new.
I sometimes get the hunch that the reason we get so much "edgy" and "boundary pushing" entertainment out of Hollywood lately, especially in the realm of television, is that it's such a sewer of depravity where exploitation, fakeness, and backstabbing are expected and encouraged, and they've pushed us to accept that such a thing is "real". For Hollywood, maybe a morally bankrupt, corrupt and perverse lifestyle is real. There's enough cultural leeway for showing this stuff that they can just pull the veneer of respectability off and parade around the world as they know it...or how they think it should be.
Hollywood also likes to simultaneously entertain two conflicting arguments: "Entertainment has no negative effect on peoples minds", and "Entertainment can be a force for positive change". So it's become the Stoner Dude you knew in High School claiming that weed is a wonder drug with zero side effects.
I can't use a Spidey avatar after that rant. Back to the Shadows for me...
