Young children should not have to carry the burden of — not merely adult sexuality — but the kind of twisted, perverted, and frankly, toxic version of adult sexuality being thrown at them by billion-dollar corporations like HBO.
HBO’s “Euphoria” — one of the most harmful shows for teens ever streamed into homes and mobile devices — is now trying to be outdone by “The Idol.” Both programs are created by Sam Levinson, who was tasked by HBO to make “The Idol” into “Euphoria” on steroids.
HBO arrogantly boasts — yes, boasts — that “The Idol” was created by “sick and twisted minds” to tell the “sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood.” TV critics have slammed “The Idol,” citing it as “pornographic,” a “sordid male fantasy,” a “darker, crazier, and more risqué version” of HBO’s Euphoria. But predictably, “The Idol” offers a horribly corrupted view of “love,” putting its lead character, pop princess Jocelyn, in abusive sexual situations and attempting to paint these as normal.
