Shraddha murder case is trending all over and it is reported that the killer BF said he was inspired by Dexter series to kill the girl the way he did and dispose her body the way he did.

12 years ago there was another similar murder case in Dehdradun in which husband murdered wife, stored pieces of her body in fridge and dumped pieces of body in different parts of forest areas in Mussoorie. He too admitted he was inspired by Hollywood films to do this act.

I do think films, TV shows, web series desensitise one towards violence and make it acceptable or some entertainment and also give ideas to potential criminals or psychopaths on what a person could do. Violence is shown as sign of power or assertion. Either by hero or villain.

And at times when one is angry, one fantasises about subjecting someone to brutality, same kind that one has seen on film or TV.

Murder fantasies or wish to kill someone are fairly common in anger.

Not the first time films or shows have been mentioned as inspiration for mode of crime.

Should content of films and shows be regulated? Are we destroying society and mental health of young people in name of creative freedom and entertainment?

Unfortunately

These things definitely trigger the minds of people who want to do crime


We have seen cases where a accused did crime by taking inspiration from Savdhaan India, Crime Petrol, Mirzapur etc.

That's horrible


That does raise the question - Are desis more affected by extreme sex & violence of Western shows cz culturally it's so far removed?


Cz terrible stuff happens in the West too but you don't hear anyone say they were inspired to commit the crime by a movie or a TV show

There are lot of case studies in west also documenting role of media, video games, films, shows on men, teens, youth or women or first time criminals.

It is not just an Indian thing per se.

Definitely

It is just not about Indians or South Asians which takes inspiration from these violent and crime related shows


It is happening in whole India


I just sometimes feel, it is India that is why Wester Media is always ready to show India in bad light and their bad things doesn't get highlighted much specially in Asia.


Again it doesn't gives a excuse but I definitely feel things need to be monitored


It is proved that watching p*rn actually increases chances of doing sexual harassment by young minds specially.

Porn & Violence in indian movies/ Savdhan india / Crime series etc / Youtube video etc should stop in india, 1970-1990 Era rarely something like this happen


Modi Government so good but they are often weak in this regard when impose Law.
