As Halloween approaches, streaming service Tubi is capitalizing on the demand for horror content by offering a selection of films that glorify violence, perpetuate harmful stereotypes, and desensitize viewers to the real-world consequences of such actions. The lineup, which includes the notoriously gory "Saw" franchise and films featuring high-profile actors like Anthony Hopkins and Vanessa Hudgens, raises concerns about the responsibility of media companies in shaping societal norms and attitudes.
While Tubi touts its extensive collection of spine-chilling horror films, original content, and classic thrillers as a free entertainment option for viewers, it fails to acknowledge the potential impact of such content on vulnerable audiences, particularly young people. Studies have shown that exposure to graphic violence and disturbing imagery can lead to increased aggression, anxiety, and a distorted view of reality.
Moreover, many horror films rely on problematic tropes and stereotypes that disproportionately target marginalized communities. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals are often depicted as helpless victims or villainized as monsters, reinforcing harmful societal biases and contributing to a culture of fear and oppression.
As a society, we must hold media companies accountable for the content they promote and the values they perpetuate. Tubi's decision to capitalize on the Halloween season by offering a lineup of violent and potentially traumatizing films prioritizes profits over social responsibility. It is crucial that we demand more from our entertainment providers and advocate for content that uplifts, educates, and inspires rather than normalizing violence and exploitation.
In a world grappling with systemic injustice, climate change, and widespread inequality, we cannot afford to be complacent in the face of media that desensitizes us to the suffering of others. Instead, we must actively seek out and support content that promotes empathy, compassion, and social change. Only then can we build a more just and equitable society for all.
