OG44: Bandersnatch and the Ethics of Mental Illness Representation, Part 2

Philosophers In Space - Podcast tekijän mukaan Aaron Rabinowitz and Callie Wright

Like Netflix, we're going to soak this thing for all its worth. How many hours of your life can we steal making you click through episodes trying to find easter eggs?! Really though, for all the innovations in this episode, it feel painfully underdeveloped in the arguably unethical way it makes use of tropes that are harmful to people with mental illness, and it felt like that deserved a main segment discussion. So we talk about those ethical problems in boring old timey linear fashion, as well as related ethical issues in how to balance representation challenges with the desire to make compelling art. Basically, ethicists see the world the same way as the SDNY; it's all our jurisdiction.  Article arguing Bandersnatch does a good job on mental illness representation: https://lwlies.com/articles/black-mirror-bandersnatch-is-a-brilliant-urgent-comment-on-mental-illness/ Article arguing Bandersnatch does a poor job on mental illness representation: https://www.stylist.co.uk/life/birdbox-bandersnatch-mental-illness-stigma-films-tv/244041  Quantum Suicide and Immortality: https://web.archive.org/web/20070827000748/http://www.higgo.com/quantum/qti.htm   QSI Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality Brian's super amazing first ever choose your own sci-fi audio drama podcast: youareherepodcast.com    Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G  Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to join): https://www.facebook.com/groups/985828008244018/  Email us at: [email protected] Sibling shows: Serious Inquiries Only: https://seriouspod.com/ Opening Arguments: https://openargs.com/  Embrace the Void: https://voidpod.com/ Recent appearances: Aaron joined Eiynah and some other teachers on Polite Conversations to discuss the state of social justice on campuses. here's both parts: https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/pc-panel-17-part-1-are-campus-sjws-destroying-western-civilization https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/panel17pt2
