You don’t need to watch the video. Tom Scott/None of the interview subjects ever point out how fucked this is, but basically the story is rich sadists would put coins in boiling water and then throw them at poor children to watch them endure injury for small amounts of money as a form of entertainment.
They didn’t say “and that is wrong”. But I think that’s because it’s obvious. There were a few raised eyebrows or a change to the tone of voice, so it was certainly implied.
Like if there was a documentary on the slave they might not actually say, “and this was a bad thing”, bevause obviously it was a horribly bad thing.
And so obviously they stopped celebrating it, right? The last line in the video is
Backed by the sound and visual of Tom clapping.
If you think I’ve misunderstood this documentary designed to bring awareness of a social ill, then fair enough. In that case my criticism is that Tom didn’t make a video that communicated that well enough, and my criticism of the town remains unchanged.
