Tonight, 'SVU' is skewering the Slenderman case , the one where two girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, who were named Bitch Of The Week back in June of this year, attempted to kill one of their classmates, to impress and Internet character called "Slenderman."
In the episode tonight, Slenderman becomes "Glasgowman," and the two stand ins for Morgan and Anissa actually do succeed in killing their classmate. This presses all my buttons, darlings, but I do have to wonder--is this show giving girls/women a bad name? This has to be about the sixth episode in sixteen seasons, where evil girls are the culprits. And while we all will enjoy seeing what comeuppance these juvie bitches get, why can't they do some evil boys? Not that they haven't; sociopath Jake O'Hara was one of the most chilling children ever. But for every Jake, you get three times as many girls on the show being evil?
Why? Can't the writers think outside the box of violating the concept of "sugar, spice and everything else," that was permanently blasted as far back as 1956, when Patty McCormack immortalized Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed?"
I guess not, but, then, there is also the fact that mean girls episodes bring in high ratings? Guess they are just catering to the lowest common denominator of public taste?????????
Or maybe those of Vicious Queens who like to see Evil Bitches get theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
