I can certainly respect your perspective and opinion of the show, but I disagree with this statement. People need to be made aware of how their actions can affect other people and try to think of these types of situations from a different perspective. For most people, couching the topic in the safe space of a movie or TV show is the only way they can confront it. The show may not have rung true for you, but I've read plenty of reviews and blogs online that tell me it struck a familiar chord with a lot of people.
