comment
The latter group took a particularly dim view of Jess in her role as a talking head. Rather than shaken by her traumatic experience or ashamed of herself for getting into it, she seemed to be milking the spotlight for all it was worth. Many viewers felt it hard to feel sorry for her and even speculated how honest her account was.

Adults Are Useless: The few authority figures who feature at all do little to stop the madness unfolding. In particular, Jessica's grandmother seems fine with letting her come into the house with a mute, faceless boyfriend.

Broken Base: The audience of the documentary were divided over whether to sympathize with Gemma and her victims. Some saw it as a harrowing inside into the horrors that can afflict insecure teenagers. Others were more cynical, seeing Alice and Jess merely as victims of their own stupidity, in a series of utterly preposterous events that would not be plausible if anyone involved had two brain cells to rub together.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })
