13 reasons why season 2 is set to drop this Friday.

Meanwhile I've decided to make a video about all the things I hate about Hannah Baker…

because why not?

watching 13 reasons was actually a bit weird for me... usually when I dislike the characters,

I automatically dislike the show.

Just look at what happened with This Is Us.

And with 13 reasons I absolutely could not stand the characters.

At all.

But for some reason I didn't dislike the show.

I didn't love it, I just..

I thought it was okay.

It was pretty divisive in general.

Some people thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread while others thought it

was the worst ever and shouldn't be given the time of day.

Well for me it was just your regular high school drama with teenage brats who are way

too angsty for their own good and it basically did what with was meant to.

It was weird when people got really intense and I mean really intense when you brought

up this show.

And I never really understood why.

I get why people are super intense over shows like Game of Thrones or Stranger Things heck

even This Is Us.

I might not like this is us but I get why people are intense about it.

So what's the deal with 13 reasons?

Fans of the show have suggested that it's probably because the show deals with suicide

and it's apparently the first time such a topic has been dealt with in an open, thoughtful and insightful way

But that's simply not true…

13 reasons is not the first to have portrayed suicide.

And it's certainly not the first to have portrayed it in a thoughtful and insightful way.

I mean the portrayal of suicide in this show wasnt exactly groundbreaking or insightful

at all?

Like I said it's just your average high school drama with a bunch of bratty teenagers.

It did what it was supposed to do.

It fulfilled it's purpose.

We should be moving on from this by now, but we aren't.

And here I am, fanning the flames.

But you know the show wasn't complete shit even though the characters were complete shit.

Hannah Baker, for example, we'll call her the queen of shit.

And the first thought that comes to mind is that this girl... she's got some serious self harming behavior

And no, I don't mean self harm in the physical sense.

Apart from the suicide itself, she did not wound herself intentionally but sometimes

she was clearly setting herself up for some kind of emotional hurt.

This is self-destructive behavior to be more specific.

For example when she goes to a party with people she feels are her bullies.

These people probably dislike her and she definitely dislikes them in return and still

she parties with them anyway… why?

I..

I don't understand, I really don't.

Not to mention, this party was hosted by a rapist.

Someone who raped her friend, someone she saw rape her friend and yet she goes anyway…?

I'm sorry but if I was invited to a party and I knew it was being thrown by a rapist…

best believe you wouldn't even catch anywhere near that house.

And I know some of you are gonna claim that this is some victim blaming bullshit.

You know what… don't speak alright.

I know who is in the wrong.

Bryce is 100% in the wrong.

This guy is cruel and atrocious and there's no denying what he did.

But neither can I deny that Hannah is a self-destructive idiot who made some serious dumbass moves.

And it's not just with the Bryce thing… this girl has done some things where I've

been left to wonder: doesn't she know better?

There've also been situations where people have tried to help her.

Yet she pushed them away.

So yeah… if that's not self harming behavior then I don't know what is.

But being self-destructive isn't why I dislike her.

I just thought it was worth mentioning so people can get an idea of just how disturbed

and unstable she is.

I do dislike her because I think she's a hypocrite.

In fact I think she's the biggest hypocrite on this show.

Exhibit A - Hannah Baker says a bunch of people are the reasons why she killed herself.

She accuses them of being mean, insensitive, and self-centered.

And in doing all of that, she never really calls out herself.

Because let's face it, she is all of those things.

She's mean, insensitive and downright self-centered as well.

this is one of the many things I don't get about this show... we're supposed

to sympathize with this girl right... we're supposed to see her as this sweet, friendly

girl who was bullied by her horrible and nasty classmates…

But you've gotta see the irony in the fact that she's a mean bitch herself...

So forgive me if I'm not crying my eyes out for a vindictive hypocrite with a victim mentality.

Allow me to explain victim mentality.

Basically you're looking at someone who believes that they are never wrong, that everyone else

is wrong.

This person may feel morally justified in whatever they do.

They'll do some fucked up shit and probably won't acknowledge that they've done some fucked

up shit.

Or if they do acknowledge, they'll say that they acted in such a way as a reaction to

others who have been cruel or immoral.

Sounds perfectly like Hannah Baker don't you think?

But I'll be the first to admit that Hannah didn't deserve all the crap that was handed

to her by her classmates.

And vice versa, her classmates -- with the exception of Bryce -- didn't deserve all the

crap that was handed to them by Hannah Baker.

On top of all that she's exceedingly self-righteous.

Now this obviously ties back into the hypocrisy and the victim mentality.

You have someone who condemns other people for doing something, so certain that they're

absolutely right or morally superior.

Ironically this person is no different.

They're doing exactly the same thing yet they're condemning other people for it.

Now I can't stand self-righteousness, I can't stand hypocrisy, and I can't stand victim mentality

So it goes without saying that I absolutely, without a doubt cannot stand self-righteous

hypocrites with victim mentality.

Yeah I hope you're starting to see now why I really dislike Hannah Baker.

And I hate the fact that the first season tried to portray her some sort of never did

wrong innocent when that is far from the case.

Hopefully this can be rectified in the second season.

What am I about to say next is gonna sound a bit insensitive.

I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but at this point I don't really care.

We're living in this age where many people feel so bloody entitled.

The world doesn't owe anyone anything.

Yet you can clearly see that some people these days are waltzing around, expecting things

to be handed to them.

Then there's a bit of hypersensitivity that plays into that.

Some people expect too much out of a misguided sense of entitlement.

If they're unstable and they don't get what they want they usually fall into either one

of two categories: mania or depression.

Sometimes they may even fall into both.

There's a bit more to this than that, it also ties into self-esteem issues and other psychological problems.

But that's basically the gist of this state of mind.

Well Hannah Baker is a prime example of this.

She almost feels entitled to be well-liked, to be popular, and showered with positive attention

Yet she hasn't really done anything to earn that.

So when her peers reject her she reacts very badly to it, to hypersensitive extremes.

Why?

Because her entire self-esteem is dependent on outside validation.

I obviously can't stand entitled people either.

If you think you deserve special treatment without doing anything to have earned it then

you've got another thing coming… the world will most certainly chew you up and spit you

out.

Hannah Baker is essentially this big ball of mess of things I really can't stand.

Entitled, self-righteous hypocrite with victim mentality.

Vengeful, mean, whiny, and all together irritating.

And I just know some will say well who are you to judge?

And that's the point isn't it?

The realization that none of us, not you, not me, not Hannah Baker, not anyone, none of us are in any

position to judge.

Yet we can't exactly stop because it's automatic, you can't just turn it off, it's impossible

to turn it off.

The only alternative is to understand that what you perceive doesn't always reflect the

reality, and that as you judge others, you must also judge yourself.

I have a lot more to say but I think I'll wrap this up here.

I honestly wasn't planning on this being so long.
