Squid Game

Matt Walsh video. More my point of few. I was never a Tarantino fan. Not so much a Horror fan either, except that I like low budget creativity.
Blood and Gore is not really my thing, except in cases where it’s just part of the story.

Squid game: great, relatable, human characters. Great development. Heartbreaking moments of love, sadness and betrayal. An outlook on the horrible circumstances that society can put people in.

This guy: torture porn

The “thrill” doesn’t come from the gore, it comes from the tension given the life/death high stakes in the games and watching the characters have to strategize to survive. You don’t know who’s going to live and die, and in each scenario, you almost project yourself into the characters POV and empathize with them and try to imagine how you’d escape. I think the fact that you’re in the subjective mindset of the characters disproves the whole “torture porn” thing, where that would imply you’re mentally objectifying them.

This is the classic impasse:
You cannot criticize something you have not consumed.
But how then would you abstain or prevent anyone from doing something negative?
This reminds me of the right’s anti-DnD phase… but on the other hand, if you’re against it on principle you really don’t have to taste-test it.

The most level headed opinion about this series I’ve heard this far. It’s all programming, Hollywood knows what humans refuse to believe about themselves. To be entertained by death is exposing the darkness and hatred inside many. This series IMO seems like nothing more than a psychopaths “wet dream”. Look at what these types are doing to our society as we speak, they expect soon that “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”

And as they sit back and watch US watch squid game and enjoy it…., I’m sure they just think that all of us are no better than dogs who don’t mind being on a leash and owned by them. I mean, who else would enjoy watching people play innocent games while their masters blow their heads off, but masochists and sadists?

If you’re a fan wanting to express your devotion to the hit Korean Netflix show Squid Game – well, there’s a cryptocurrency for that.

Squid, which was trading around 1 cent on Tuesday, reached $2.34 (£1.70) on Friday – a more than twenty-fold jump.

The dystopian series – which tells the story of a group of people forced to play deadly children’s games for money – has become a viral sensation.

Squid is what is known as a “play-to-earn” cryptocurrency, where people buy tokens to play in online games where they can earn more tokens. These can then be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat money.

In the case of Squid, many buyers will be gamers looking to play in an online game of the program, which begins in November.

“The more people join, the larger reward pool will be (sic),” according to the platform’s whitepaper, which says developers will take 10% of the entry fee with the remaining 90% given to the winner.

“More importantly, we do not provide deadly consequences apparently!”

Individual rounds have costs to join – for example, playing Round 1: Red Light, Green Light will cost a player 456 Squid – with six rounds in total that get more expensive as they go along.

“This cryptocurrency joins a long and growing list of digital coins and tokens that piggyback on random memes or cultural phenomena,” Cornell University economist Eswar Prasad told the BBC.

“Remarkably, many such coins rapidly catch investors’ fancy, leading to wildly inflated valuations. Naïve retail investors who get caught up in such speculative frenzies face the risk of substantial losses.”
