It feels like the concept of a "bonus episode" isn't really appropriate for this subject matter

ikr

"Supplemental," "Follow-Up," etc anything would have been better than inadvertently making it sound like an extra lil treat.

That's the way it was referred to by the creators so I didn't bother changing the word, but I agree that it sounds more positive than it should. There have been a few other docuseries that ended up doing a follow up episode after the original episodes aired. I don't remember how they described them but I'm sure they did not use the word bonus!

i didn't watch, but did they address people hounding these former child actors for more information or claiming that them being silence was protecting the network/dan?

i get that people would be curious, but pushing possible victims to address things when they're not ready to awful.

those people don't care about the victims or abuse, they care about the scandal.

this is exactly what is happening, like no one owes you shit. some stars have said nothing happened to them and it’s almost like people wanted it to happen so they could have more scandal. like Jesus Christ get some help.

Dan claimed in his video that the jokes were written for kids and that kids thought they were funny.

Uhhh you go back and watch the potato video again and then try to spin that shit. Look me in the eyes and tell me that was written for, understood, and approved of by children. Go rot, you sack of shit.

That bugs me too. Kids have weird senses of humor, but it’s more of a fart/poop joke or slapstick comedy. Kids aren’t gonna get foot fetish and cum shots to the face jokes. Those jokes were made with one specific audience in mind, and those audiences weren’t kids.

if you mean the potato video, its a sketch where ariana is meant to be squeezing the juice from a potato. its her on her bed with her eyes closed, moaning, while holding something phallic. dan knew what he was doing.

Eh, this episode feels more like extending the trauma porn made to keep the shock and awe conversation going.

I hate the style of this extra episode. The interviews come off rehearsed in a way (not they were, but the structure and style of the interviewer is so awkward. Like she’s rushing through every question with rehearsed reactions and providing no nuance). The documentary was already kind of in a format that cheaply sensationalized the very serious subject matter and this just took it to a whole new level.
