I absolutely appreciate the depth you go to in your reviews. By happenstance, I found your channel and enjoyed your MAFS’ reactions. But your insights into Baby Reindeer provide what I think story analysis should provide for the public, simply, what it means to be a flawed human and how we navigate that. I say bravo, young man!

[@marshallstannus]

Thank you so so much this is so lovely!

Poor Richard Gadd. In the 6th episode the character Donny mentioned that he feels like his trauma made him a “magnet for weirdos” and it’s sort of becoming true even in his success

[@jnm2088]

I can tell you as someone who has had her fair share of trauma, this is 1000000% true.

[@rumademedoit]

We have a media literacy problem and that manifests itself horribly on social media.

This sounds less about a lack of literacy and more about social media's obsession with witch hunts.

[@trailersparks]

The true crime-ifying of this show has been so frustrating to see. There was a clear decision made not to tell this story as a documentary, because retribution against specific people by the public was never the aim. The kind of vigilante justice that the internet jumps on for entertainment and validation can be so destructive, when what the show is really asking of us is just to listen and understand. It’s a lot of missing the forest for the trees.

[@amirahazhar4192]

love this comment - he wrote it as a character study and i'm sure it was very cathartic for him as a victim to put it all out there. I can't believe people searched for the real life martha.

I feel like the series also shows that theres no such thing as a perfect victim. Donny is a victem doesnt matter if he had made mistakes. Because those mistakes do not warrent abuse. Its extremely brave. And I forever respect Richard for telling his story.

[@SnapeArgento]

Right and also that victims are not asking for the abuse, he might have been a little too nice and make one or many jokes that could be misinterpreted, but that's not an invitation, if anything, I feel like he saw more of her human side than the one that was so dangerous, "shes just sending weird emails" he kept trying to excuse her or try to believe it wasn't that bad, we all probably felt the same way for her at many points, victims also feel that way bc for some their abusers are not these monsters who only do harm, but people who won their trust, and that many times is confusing for many, they give something good and then something bad to them, it was so important to hear this story to make people understand its not all black and white with victims and abusers

[@rawiii5578]

@@SnapeArgento absolutely right!! Really good take thanks for sharing!

[@laela6289]

The nuance is what made the show so unique tbh. It is such a subversive step away from the typical victim / antagonist narrative we’re used to seeing

[@trappedcat3615]

What are you talking about 😂. He literally made a show about his stalker going to prison over a hissy fit and then his actual abuser goes unreported and free. Then showing himself bust a nut over her was like spitting in her face before the whole world. Disgusting.

[@haileykurioreilly9890]

I’m not buying the two sides thing. I feel like since abuse tends to affect vulnerable ppl, we need to hold more space for imperfect victims who might act irrationally.

[@anishadasadhikary9505]

The show resonated with me and the abuse I faced I realised what I did, while wasn't the same was yet imperfect. It wasn't black and white , i did somethings too and it's way too real.

[@user-re7qp6xb3o]

Such a profound observation

[@gentlegiant5678]

I ABSOLUTELY agree. Thats a big reason why there's so much stigma surrounding victims, especially male victims. Abusers are good at targeting vulnerable people, that's their whole job and they do it to a TEE. When someone goes through long-term, invalidating, micro-aggressive experiences, the person doing the abusing can take the victim's reactions, turn it around and say "aha! You see? I told you he was aggressive. I told you he was an asshole/she's crazy." The classic DARVO scenario. People who aren't familiar with abuse or people who are still too immature to understand the complexity of humans will see someone reacting and label them as abusive, which is exactly what the abuser intended. Of course, there's so much that depends on what the "reaction" is, but you get the idea

[@liamdamon]

You mean to tell me that there are Tiktokers who lack empathy and have issues with boundaries??? 😂😅😊

[@liamdamon]

Obviously, I'm being sarcastic. But social media does give people a sense of familiarity with strangers. It's important to remember that just because you know a lot about an individual, it doesn't mean that you know everything about rhem. And it especially doesn't mean that they know you or are as interested in your life as you are in theirs.

[@SnapeArgento]

I mean some people on tik tok always do this things so weird, like when society of the snow came out and they started being weird about the real life victims, or do ships (not with the actors but the real life people) and send stuff to the families. It's not just enjoying a show or critique, it's about trying to dig more and more, it ruins a lot for the people and also the ones that did the show, Richard didn't do this show for people to go around looking for the real life people, but I guess these are the things that inevitably come with doing any kind of art

[@ms.understood007]

As a survivor of my own “True Story,” I feel this telling of Richard’s truth is extremely relatable. Especially the “why would he go back,” question. Although perplexing to many, living such an experience will unveil the answer if we are able to go that deep in our introspection and healing. Truth. Thank you for the commentary.

[@Escherlife]

I am a writer/director/performer. I miss the days when you could just do a show, get an immediate response from the audience, then wait to see a few reviews in the newspaper (from intelligent, informed critics). Nowadays every man and his dog can tell you and the world what they think and the anonymity means they can be nasty and brutal if they choose. It’s no wonder the entertainment industry is flailing right now. It’s scary to be in the public eye.

[@vee1545]

We’re in a sad strange era, it’s become a terrifying risk to be creative even on a tiny corner of the internet. I miss when the internet wasn’t in the palm of everyone’s hand

[@ConstanzaRigazio]

5:05 I don’t understand why people think they need to “do something about it” when it comes to Martha. She may not have gone to jail but she got a restraining order and what she needed was psychological help. That chapter seems to be closed. What worries me is that people like Darrien are walking around, consequence-free and probably looking for new targets to abuse. It’s scary especially for those of us who live in the UK and who are starting to build a career in the creative industries.

[@ConstanzaRigazio]

Of course that doesn’t mean people should start harassing everyone who was at some point connected to Richard Gadd until they find the abuser. A lot of innocent people can get hurt in the process.

This is why it’s so cool that he was able to portray himself in this way, so soon after his actual life events have happened. It’s what made it such a hit. I’m sure he knew there would be some backlash, but it is really lame how far people are taking it. Most people never would risk putting their story out there like that and fear that people would find out who they were talking about. Sometimes we can’t win. But I like that RG shared his story.

[@restlessbohemian26]

Where is all the backlash? All I've seen is unending praise. Hoping to find more nuance . . .

[@RS33381]

This is so messed up. Just when I thought (maybe) the men would feel more comfortable about coming out about there assaults, we have these people who have a hard time understanding boundaries. This is why victims of SA never come forward and tell their story. I made a mistake and came forward to a “friend” about a time a guy got a little too rough with me while we dated. Long story short, I was trying to leave because he was getting rude,and he held me down and demanded that I stay with him, I eventually got to leave but it was terrifying. He then approached the guy about it. I never asked him to do that, and I was mad that he did. I wanted to approach the guy about it on my own terms. The guy became hostile again and sent me a disturbing text message, which brought up feelings like that night. People have a hard time understanding that sometimes we just want to tell our story to get it off our chest. for me I shared it with the friend in confidence. But he completely made it hostile. Sorry for this long paragraph, but i noticed this trend of people just not respecting boundaries.

[@nessatorrs]

yea they are even trying to find the real Teri. so unhinged

[@ConstanzaRigazio]

Some people left Instagram comments on this person’s account but I was gladly surprised to see that there were more comments replying to those people, telling them to leave her alone and stop bothering her. She is being harassed by some, but she is being defended by others (ideally she wouldn’t even be harassed but at least SOME people got the message of the show). I personally didn’t comment anything because I don’t want to give the harassers more attention and drive more unwanted traffic to her account, but I can understand the people defending her in the comments.

[@susufray3601]

I am curious to check her out but wouldn't leave a comment lol

[@TheFireEmpress]

I feel the way it unfolded with the big realization of the SA in ep 4 was brilliant in showing how he didn't even know how much that was affecting him because he was repressing it so much to the point where he allowed Martha because he was used to having his boundaries violated from being groomed and he wanted to be seen and she saw him both as a man and she saw the pain in him. She was ready to fight whoever hurt him. I believe all of this plus more finally allowed him to accept and face what had happened. It's messed up and the show is almost saying it's what had to happen for him to face it and be honest with himself. Just my thoughts.

[@Nonameforyoudangit]

His reaction to SA by Martha was a trauma response (fight, flight or freeze) - he froze.

It IS a real crime story, but it isn’t unsolved, there’s no reason to bring it back up if he’s been able to heal from it. Seriously, by trying to do something about it, you’re hurting the actual victim more, and that’s just awful. All we have to do to help him is to listen and understand what he’s showing us, not seek further revenge on his behalf. I do hope she gets some mental help, so it doesn’t happen again

They could have easily changed her occupation and details about what she said to prevent this from happening.

[@CrazyMama75]

Part of therapeutically processing through traumatic experiences in order to heal from the trauma, and important aspects is to take responsibility for our reactions, behaviours and "mistakes" to understand why we feel shame, guilt, anger at ourselves, to then work through those feelings and grow to understand that while we're not to blame from the trauma we can still learn from it in how we treat ourselves, how we react to other people treatment of us, how we treat others and how we can empathise and sympathise with others. It's not victim blaming to work through these feelings, especially when these feelings when we're traumatised is due to how people are treated when they try to get help for trauma. Also, I'm not hearing much discourse around how the police mishandle situations like this and I think that needs to be talked about more. Courts and police are woefully undertrained when it comes to trauma awareness and mental health awareness.

[@rileydefeo532]

I fortunately haven't been on this side of tiktok but this whole discourse is so disheartening. Like you said, it's so disappointing to see people who watched this show and came away from it without any nuance or critical thinking.

It is easy to think like this, but in reality, you have no idea how you will react in situations like this. Some people cannot understand how detrimental low self esteem and self worth has on someone. And the situations one will put themselves through when someone promises greatness and opportunity or just gives you attention that you have craved or have never experienced before.
