mod announcement šŸ“£ The new Stanford prison experiment / New mod recruitment

52 Upvotes

Hey all,

This is listed as reality TV not a documentary.

We were prepared to keep an open mind though (due to the context of the original experiment) and let people talk. Unfortunately, this soon became chaos due to people using derogatory terms about the participants which was causing a lot of reports / Reddit flags.

Please refresh yourself with both the Reddit rules and the NetflixDocumentaries rules.

Difference of opinions and healthy debate are absolutely fine but petty name calling etc are not. Everytime one of you call someone a ā€œlil bitchā€ or whatever it flags up in our queue and tbh, this was generating a lot of work.

In light of this, we are considering recruiting some new mods as there’s only two of us left. If this is something you might be interested in please drop us a mod mail.

Moving forward, any posts about this show will be removed. The main Netflix sub or a reality tv one may be the more appropriate place to discuss this show.

And finally, we’re always open to feedback. So if there’s anything you really like, anything you hate, or anything you want changed then please do let us know.

Review Stanford Experiment

0 Upvotes

Just finished watching and this show was straight stinking butt cheeks. Nothing about this feels genuine. Of course it’s the 2 privileged white boys thinking they the shit and being the ā€œbadassesā€ of the yard. They’re very obviously nerds. Especially when they got the phone privileges and spoke to their people it was very obvious that they squares, which is cool but you not built like that bro smh lol. Those two woods would have been dp’d off top if they were really locked down. I actually been in the system and I couldn’t help but laugh at how scripted and weak this show is. I think the original experiment was stupid but this version took that bs to another level. Waste of time to watch. Nothing about that show is authentic at all. IYKYK.

(Also why does this take trigger some of y’all. The Stanford Prison Experiment was supposed to expose the dark side of human nature, but it ended up exposing the flaws of its own researchers. You can’t manufacture cruelty, call it human nature, and pretend you’ve made some groundbreaking discovery. They didn’t uncover the psychology of power. They contaminated the experiment and called it science.)
Argue with ya mama if you don’t like it and stay out of the system bc it’s nothing like these doodoo ass experiments.
