Carolyn Petit added,
My only knowledge of that show was that it had helped some survivors in my circle. They found it cathartic and representative. I suppose I should have realized the opposite would also be true. That kind of power can certainly cut both ways.
But it's unfair to lay blame at the feet of someone releasing media for the actions of others. Individual responsibility is the only way to live in a free society. People who need help should always seek it. Blaming the final thing that tipped the scales doesn't seem fair.
Who said anything about blame? What I advocate for is a culture in which we talk about and think about media as if it matters and as if it has an impact in shaping our culture, which it clearly does.
