Examining 'Beware the Slender Man': A Deep Dive Into a Disturbing Case
This podcast delves into the analysis of the HBO documentary 'Beware the Slender Man,' which explores the infamous case of two 12-year-old girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, who stabbed their friend as an act of devotion to the fictional internet entity, Slender Man. The podcast host provides initial insights and reactions after viewing the documentary, contrasting it with the initial podcast episode recorded without having watched the film. There's an extensive discussion on the girls' psychology, family backgrounds—especially Morgan's father's schizophrenia—and the role of internet culture in framing their delusions. The host critically examines the parents' responses, legal ramifications, and broader implications on mental health and societal responsibility. This segment raises essential questions about juvenile punishment, the formation of beliefs through internet mythos, and recognizing early signs of mental disorders.
