Episode 6, the heroine chats with Boo
B: What?
F: No, I don't think Hillary is going to want to hear this.
B: Go on.
F: No.
B: Go on.
F: OK, an 11-year-old boy was put in juvenile prison for repeatedly sticking rubber ended pencils up his school hamster's arsehole.
B: What?
F: Yeah.
B: Why would they do that?
F: Apparently he liked it when their eyes popped out.
B: No, why would they send him away? He needs help. They shouldn't have just locked him up.
F: He pencil-fucked a hamster.
B: Yeah, but he's obviously not happy, happy people wouldn't do things like that.
F: Fair point.
B: And anyway, that's the very reason why they put rubbers on the end of pencils.
F: To fuck hamsters?
B: No, because people make mistakes.
I think this conversation gave me a new understanding of the show. For people who make mistakes, people who fail, people who are weird, our first reaction is punishment, scolding and regulations, but we don't think about it, What made them make such a choice. However, people are not connected with each other, and the operation of society is bound to be rigid. However, in addition to the punishment system, should we add more humanistic care, so that those who make mistakes can be cared for while being punished, and those who fail are Getting help while bearing the cost of failure, allowing weird people to be understood while being regulated, and making the world efficient without losing warmth, dignified and full of tenderness, are also worth thinking about.
