[TV orNotTV] So Long, Kellye Nakahara

2020-02-17 Thread Joe Hass
My son knows her as The Cook from "Clue", but to everyone else, she was a
regular for the entire run of Mash, culminating in "Hey Look Me Over",
where she puts Hawkeye to shame in a devastating monologue.

In a podcast episode I listened to about internet addiction, the guest
pointed out that if anyone over 40 (or maybe 50 at this point) was told by
authority that they were completely banned from all social media apps and
websites, we would be able to shrug it off and go back to how we dealt with
the world before social media existed. If a 15 year old were to be
similarly banned, they would experience acute isolation because that is the
way their peers communicate with each other and share things.

2020-02-17 Thread Adam Bowie
Correction:

Reading a little more about Caroline Flack, I realise that I was wrong to
say that she had not talked about her suffer mental health issues in public
previously. In fact she had, been quite public about some of those issues.

I don't think that this was necessarily a case of mental health
stigmatisation. But it might well be a case of lack of responsibility
towards a person who has been very honest about her own issues.

 What I am still unclear about is this: Was Ms Flack known to have
 mental health struggles prior to her death, and was this part of what she
 was being bullied about? Or are people saying after the fact that the media
 should have known or suspected she had such problems?

 Either way of course no excuse for just treating her badly, but the
 issue of toxic and gang social media culture, while important, seems
 separate from the issue of how mental health issues are treated. The two
 issues seem to be connected in this case and I am trying to understand why.

I can't begin to think about how tough it must be to be a young person in
today's world of social media. While bullying has always happened, at least
you could largely leave it behind at the school gates at the end of the
day. Today it's 24/7 with jokes and memes being shared, to which you may or
may not be privy.

I think that this was indeed more a case of toxic social media culture -
and also tabloid press culture - than anything else. The mental health
angle seems to come from a view that if someone takes their own life, they
must have had mental health issues. "What were the signs that we missed?"

You're certainly better placed than me to understand this, although I
suspect that like everything, it's not as simple as that.

 Stateside, where I believe it does fairly well. And I should preface all of
 this by saying that I never watched Love Island, and I don't make a habit
 of reading the tabloid press - online or offline.

 Caroline Flack was a TV presenter, who started out presenting kids
 shows before doing other things. She also did well in a series of Strictly
 Come Dancing (aka Dancing With the Stars) a few seasons ago. Love Island,
 you may know, is something of a hit for ITV2 getting the channel its
 biggest ratings.

 Anyway, towards the end of last year, she was arrested for assaulting
 her boyfriend. It all caused quite a tabloid media frenzy, and with a first
 winter cycle of
