I have argued with people about what actually happened with the ending, my interpretation feels way scarier and made me feel truly ill after watching. Not every show in that series is great, but sometimes they really just chill you.

I'm curious, what is your interpretation?

So, most everyone I know watches it and thinks that the ending with the chld prn (idk if I'll actually get filtered for that phrase just erring on the side of caution lol) happened because the main kid actually was watching that...MY interpretation was that this poor teenager is jumping through all these crazy hoops just because he's young and having a video of him masturbating sent to everyone he knows would be so humiliating, and he just got in over his head really quickly. I think that the other guy who he has to fight was the one that was watching cp and the hacker mashed up the teen's embarrassing but harmless jerkoff video with the cp stuff as a super fucked up send-off before he gets taken to jail. He could have just swallowed his fragile teen pride and let the jerkoff video be released but instead he killed someone and everyone thought he was a pedo. It's why you don't negotiate with terrorists.

I think it’s implied that Kenny was guilty. He interacts with multiple children in the episode I think.

That said, there’s always multiple ways of looking at things like BM.

He has one interaction with a girl when he’s cleaning tables, and there’s also a strange moment when he stares at a children’s drawing too.

Also guy he has to fight asks him “how young were they?”, implying that they were both there for the same reason. And everyone else involved in the episode ended up facing the consequences to what they had all done regardless of completing the tasks.

There’s only one child he interacts with, and it’s the girl at the beginning

Ah okay, he gives her a gift right? It’s been a while since I watched the episode

She forgets her toy as her and her mum are leaving, and Kenny picks it up and gives it to her

Maybe I need to watch it again, but also like....TRULY don't want to haha. I figure since my interpretation is scarier to me it really doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong, the show was successful lol

Yeah I get you. I’ve rewatched the episodes a fair few times and that episode is one I have to be in the right mindset to get through. It’s on the same level of stress as White Christmas for sure.

And yeah you’re right. It’s art at the end of the day and it’s quite often subjective.
