I think even adults are not mature to handle it in right spirit. They become more fearful for their daughters and women in family. I actually saw comments on Twitter and FB agreeing with statements of rapist as reported by media and blaming women for wearing jeans, being outside etc.

This documentary has greater potential to create misogyny and fear psychosis than awareness.

High time govt, media, public etc start treating religious fanatics who blame woman for rape with same disdain. Rather than allowing a debate and giving these clowns an opportunity to justify their inhumane stance. File FIR against them rather than focusing on trivial things. When society and law starts showing zero tolerance towards such misogynists, there will be a change.

Even Mahatma Gandhi had said women should bear rape (if caught and it "cannot be avoided") and not make noise. After the rapist is done, he would leave. Some advice he gave during Partition violence! 🤢

How many will we file FIRs against?

i was watching newshour and Arnab mentioned this too that how some ppl are using this reason to defend this documentary

its not abt accepting the reality , ban didn't happen bcz of this ... its abt glorifying the rapists , how they are getting a chance to tell every detail abt the horrific rape , accuse the victim , some victims are alive , getting publicity and these documentary film makers are promoting it for commercial reasons

Rapes happen in the USA too , why they have to come to india to know the mindset of rapists ????

watch newshour's today's discussion ... i recommend

They happen around the world,however, there is a system here. Sometimes it works. There is a cultural difference. You cannot compare US with India. This is a huge problem with Indians. Comparing everything with US. It happens in US, so? It happens in India. Sexual Assualts are bigger issue in India because culturally people tend to not stay away from topics like these. The problem is everywhere. You can't deny the problem in India. People in India are oblivious.

Gandhi has said controversial stuff about Caste and all.

Well, hardly an issue when police has time to file cases against audience at the roast. Most will think before spewing shit if proper action is taken. Hurting religious sentiments, hate speeches are not taken as lightly.

Nirbhaya's rapists were openly blaming her and women for rape. Another rapist who raped a minor brutally was describing in detail how he raped her. Their defense lawyers and many officials were giving statements like, if you can't prevent rape then enjoy it or if a sweet is outside then dogs are going to eat it...

Critics say this promotes misogyny and insults victims and their families as the graphic detail will make them relive trauma. It's called a shameless publicity stunt.

I personally feel it might scare people especially girls' parents and it might encourage those who have such views themselves.

Another criticism is that it spoils image of India and its men. But I don't believe that.

Curently government has ordered not to even upload it online let alone air it.

@bold...some people are so shameless that its appaling🤢

Like I said my only concern is for the victim's families...previously I thought it is only about Nirbhaya but now it looks like there are more victims mentioned in the documentary..their consent to air this should be most important ..

I can understand completely why people are saying it shouldn't be aired...but in my opinion...we cannot avoid a problem by NOT facing it for whatever reason...I know it will be hard...but sometimes that is the only way...I feel that it is important to listen to these rapists and then people, psychology experts, police, legal experts, and most importantly...the woman have to speak against these rapists and emphasize how and why they are wrong...to make it clear...there is no way in hell that a rapist can be ever glorified ...but if u want to clean the shit ...ur hands might get a little dirty in the process...so yes it will be hurtful...yes it will be hard to listen...yes we will feel like killing those bas***ds...but isn't that we want...Don't you want Indians hurt enough to not tolerate another rape??...Just turning our face from a problem is not enough.
