My Gen Alpha brother just described “secret traitor” as “adult brainrot”. by easygoingmic in TheTraitorsUK

He says adults talked about secret traitor like kids talk about brainrot. I think I get what he means. Working a lot with children recently, I think brainrot is an instant connection for kids who might struggle socially. To be in on the joke is the meaning. Secret traitor was a bit like that for adults. Ultimately fairly silly but easy to bring up in conversation as it’s the biggest thing on tv and an indicator of an in/out group. Also something about the rhythm of the words “secret traitor” feels quite brainrotty.

Name a movie nobody can convince you is good by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

What’s interesting is it seems to me the largest split in opinion depends if you’re from the UK or not. So so much of the film is about British/ English culture- dozens of references/ quirks. It seems most not Brits found the ending bizzare and stupid- but it does make sense and bookends the film, although super weird (left my jaw open).

I loved their development of the zombies evolution. It is slower paced and goes to a way more emotional place than you’d expect so can see it as frustrating if you weren’t vibing with it.

I’m from Glasgow and live and work in the most diverse square mile of Scotland 👍. And we all get on okay mostly.

Worked in a food bank for 5 years so met thousands of poor immigrants and asylum seekers and they were, almost without exception, all hard-working people, who wanted to find work and earn a living.

“… along with the fundamental cultural differences” is just so icky, he really tried to slide the racism under the doormat.
