Netflix Adds Warning Screen To Stranger Things 4 Upon Uvalde Shooting

The recent tragic shooting at Robb Elementary School has devastated the nation, and Netflix isn’t ignoring it.

Netflix exercising empathy

Fans of the hit Netflix show Stranger Things can expect a message card preceding episode one of this new season. “We filmed this season of ‘Stranger Things’ a year ago. But given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode 1 distressing,” the warning reads. “We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.”

In addition to the advisory warning, Netflix also provided notes including: “Warning: Contains graphic violence involving children” and “disturbing images.” This is presumably due to the violence against children that was displayed during the horrific Texas shooting this week. The forewarned scene contains no explosives or gunfire, however, it’s safe to say that Netflix clearly wanted to cover their bases in a sensitive time like this.

An all too common crime

Season four of Stranger Things just premiered this past week (May 27). The audience returns to Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, and, Lucas as they continue to fight the supernatural. The scene that garnered the warning featured Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, as well as many other children soaked in blood. Clearly, this imagery is extremely hard to swallow in a social climate like this. Particularly for a show like Stranger Things that focuses so heavily on kids, it was a priority for Netflix to make its stance known.

On Mar 24, an 18-year-old gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. This criminal took the lives of nineteen students and two adults. There are many issues impacting the country but firstly, this community has been rocked and more than ever need support. Be sure to keep the loved ones of those lost in mind.

“Man, I’ve been listening to some of you politicians and some of y’all n-ggas dumb as fuck, like stupid as fuck,” 2 Chainz said in a social media clip. He was responding to some politician’s commentary about the unfortunate murders of roughly 19 children & two adults at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday (May 24). He brings up a good point about how intelligence can be wrongly perceived. Like Chainz, a few other artists are speaking out on politics following the tragedy.

Texas Congressman Blames Rap Uvalde Shooting

The politician Ronny Jackson thinks Hip-Hop’s impact on children is absolutely negative. He says, “And I just think that kids are exposed to all kinds of horrible stuff nowadays, too. I look back and I think about the horrible stuff that they hear when they listen to rap music…” While Hip-Hop isn’t a perfect genre, it’s sad to see how it’s unfairly used negatively. News outlets make rap music a target all the time and cover the genre poorly. Do you think there’s any truth in his reasoning? Watch Ronny Jackson’s full interview on Fox:

 

Do You Agree With 2 Chainz & His Stance On Politicians?

2 Chains disses politicians while bringing up a valid point and argument. There is the perception many people share about suits being equal to smarts. That’s not the case between 2 Chainz pointing it out & a congressman blaming Hip-Hop for the Texas school shooting. Chainz speaks for a large majority of people with the same problems as politicians. Ted Cruz, another politician, thinks the answer is easier than it actually is. “That n-gga Ted, Ted Cruz said God damn lock the back door next time. He said to prevent what happened, have the back door locked,” Chainz directed at Ted Cruz. Read more of FM Hip-Hop’s featured articles today.

Ice-T Responds To Fan Who Accuses Him Of Promoting Gun Violence

The news of the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this Tuesday left the entire country in mourning.

Many artists expressed their condolences to the families of the victims, as well as giving their opinions on the situation.

This Wednesday, rapper and songwriter Ice-T used the social network Twitter to show his anger towards the attacker.

“I haven’t commented on the Shooting,” stated Ice-T. “I still can’t get my head around why MFs wanna kill innocent Children.”

A User Not So Pleased With Ice-T

Although many people supported the rapper’s comment, others simply did not.

A Twitter user responded to the Ice-T’s post by making the suggestion that he is a hypocrite for talking again gun violence and still mentioning in his songs, especially for his controversial song Cop Killer.

This Tweet caught the eye of the artist, who calmly replied with four simple words: “Please eat more D***s”

Minutes later, Ice-T responded with another Tweet in which he laughs at those people who criticize him because of his age.

Why is Cop Killer So Polemical?

The 1992 single “Cop Killer” made by Ice-T together with his heavy metal band, Body Count is still causing surprise to every new listener. but why?

Well, such a bold song shows the listener a fantasy about revenge against police brutality in the most direct and strongest way possible.

The controversy reached such a level that CLEAT (Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas) and police organizations joined together in protest against the band and the banning of the track and the album from stores.

Some time later and after making a deal with Warner Bros., Ice-T agreed to remove the song from the album.

Until this day, the song remains unavailable on legal streaming platforms, except YouTube.

 

*The FM HipHop team offers our deepest condolences and solidarity to the parents of the victims of the massacre that occurred in Uvalde, Texas.*
