some folks who binge-watched The Handmaid’s Tale and were looking for stuff to be angry about
Sheesh.
I have no idea what that show is about.
It’s a warning about a future that will never happen, but gets people riled up anyway.
By that logic, 1984 is just fear-mongering rather than an incredibly intelligent allegorical depiction of how potentially dystopian the future can be.
I didn’t say The Handmaid’s Tale was fear-mongering. I said it was a fictional future dystopia and made fun of people for binge-watching it and getting riled up over its contents.
If someone read 1984 and then smashed their smart TV because it was “watching” them, I’d laugh at them, too.
