"Do Revenge" is Netflix’s latest romantic comedy marketed towards teens across the country. Anjali Aggarwal argues that what seems like another painfully transparent remake of classics like "Clueless" and "Mean Girls" is actually a satirical commentary on the way we glamorize performative activism and artificial allyship.

Europeans and Americans time and again wield tokens of desi history, though colonization already erased much of their primary significance and cultural meaning. Anjali Aggarwal argues that we should hold individuals accountable for their actions, but blind criticism of their ignorance fails to address the flawed narrative of history that led them astray.

Northeastern’s demonstration policy dissuades and prevents students from engaging in constructive conversation on campus. Arien Wagen argues that to effectively pursue its goals, Northeastern should adopt one of two models—the public forum or the walled city—and act accordingly.

True crime like "Dahmer" may try to highlight the racism and homophobia that is historically rooted within United States law enforcement, but the narrative style of the reenactment creates an emphasis on the crime instead of the justice, Gya Gupta argues. Until true crime shows foreground justice over violence, and help viewers acknowledge the continuation of police violence within their own communities, these shows will not have an impact on a justice system that remains negligent towards vulnerable communities.

A growing number of American adults are watching true crime dramas, based on theft, kidnappings, or serial murders, on a regular basis. In recent years there has been a rapid increase in production and consumption of the true crime genre. Most recently, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a true crim...
