Butoh Dancing Doesn't Belong Here
Sylviastel27 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I felt that the butoh segment about the life and tragic suicide of Sharon Stern was wrong placed in this episode. Butoh dancing is an acceptable dance form from Japan. It's grotesque and unattractive but it's supposed to be. From what I have read and seen, Butoh dancing is practiced worldwide. Sadly Sharon Stern fell hard for Katsura Kan, her dance teacher. She was an adult who made poor decisions and needed professional help. While I can't imagine her parents pain and grief, Butoh was born out of Japanese suffering in World War Two. As for the other stories here, they are quickly done without much in depth.

Why do we only see cults, when we're not part of them?
johntwatterson5 July 2022
Why do we only see colts, when we're not part of them? Cults come from culture, cultivate. There are cults all around us, perhaps the most prolific, and successful cult on the planet presently and for the last 2000 years is the cult of Catholicism. A cult, or sect of Christianity. By very definition Catholicism is a cult. It's made up of one leader, and droves of followers. Followers who dedicate their lives, their livelihoods, and their money for the greater good of the cult. Sounds like parishioners passing around the collection dish to me.
