Ok, spent the day thinking about all of this, and I think ive got it
Its a take on Media and its affects on kids. Theyre forcing thoughts and ideas on kids without letting them develop naturally. Therefore stunting their ability to discover it for themselves.
Fast forward to adulthood, and everyone is the same, and no one has the ability to think outside the box, and when someone does, theyre shut down through the inept abilities of everyone else.
So when someone breaks away from the norm even as a child, that an idea might not confirm to social norms its treated as a problem, rather than (from our point of view) an obvious escape.
The whole thing is nightmarish, becuase of the feeling of being trapped. Click this, do this, say this, even if its not correct - Religion is probably a good example of this which most people as they grow up realise.
Anyway, The internet one is a good example(ep3 i think?), just when they reach for a normal way to figure something out - the PC jumps in and prevents people discovering new information, and instead wants them to channel their discoveries fthrough the computer... but the computer through all of its rhymmes and fun, is not their friend.
This is all packaged up in what a horror movie it is for Kids these days when you think about what we expose them too, in the hunt for the perfect childhood. Lets get them a Vtech when theyre 2 yrs old so they become a computer Genius etc.
The whole way we bring up human beings can be a dark place sometimes, and this highlights the issues, and injects just the right amount of edge and sourness to make you feel how dark it is too.
We're a fucked up bunch when you think about it... and i dont just mean on B3ta
