Knowing Netflix’s history with trigger warnings and depicting suicide, I do not trust them at all with this, especially after seeing how the trailer framed the movie

If this gets Buzzfeed’s attention or anything, y’all don’t have my permission to post this so go away

Just an FYI, I’ve muted this thread because I can’t keep up with the notifs but I’m glad I was able to give people a fair warning

@ken_you_not @bookscandles13 Does it include a TW?

@CarlyTargaryen @bookscandles13 The movie isn’t out yet but Netflix does not have a good history with trigger warnings and the trailer frames it as a cute romance

@ken_you_not @sobering_stairs Am I sadistic for loving it when dark films are portrayed as light and happy in the trailers, just to watch it and be shocked by how much it fucked me up? Because I personally love that shit.

@ken_you_not @howlinglibrary I watched the trailer and then read the plot summary and no. NO.

@bookhugger_ They almost played it off like “oh their love is going to fix each other”

@ken_you_not This is one of the issues I had with the trailer as well. I hope they give warning when it releases, but seeing how they treated 13 Reasons Why, I'm not confident.

@ken_you_not @BenAldwin @NovernLou

@ken_you_not that book made me cry so hard. i finished it the same day i bought it

@ken_you_not Thanks for the heads up!!

@ken_you_not @thashamonique THANK YOU the book made me feel powerless and depressed i hated it

@ken_you_not triggered u @zackorlina_

@ken_you_not I don’t trust this author period. Holding Up the Universe has a slew of problems even before it was published, so I can only imagine how her first book botched serious mental health discussion. It looks extremely romanticized and misleading.

@ken_you_not The book messed me up big time. I tried to base my personality and feeling all around finch’s actions, as I wasn’t in a good head space. I don’t think I’ll be watching the movie for the same reason.

@ken_you_not The book was something I felt I could relate to at the time (though I’d never read it again), but I’m interested in the movie bc I’m prepared for what happens and I’m in a better mental state, but I know it’s very triggering & needs proper warnings, the trailer is very misleading
