The Rampant Toxic Masculinity in The Society (and do the perfect male characters exist?)

The Society was one of the most talked about series on Netflix before it got abruptly cancelled in 2020 due to COVID concerns. But one of the downer parts of the series was that how the female characters were shown to be complex while most of the male characters were shown to be two-dimensional if not, really really horrible. So let’s take a look at how each of the male characters were portrayed (except for Grizz, Sam, Gordie and Will because they subverted the toxic masculinity in the series so I am counting them out).

Campbell Eliot:

Campbell Eliot is first introduced as a typical bad boy character who doesn’t want to follow the rules (Think J.D. from Heathers). Though we see a lot of red flags about him in the first episode, like when we see him try to shoot Cassandra and kick his deaf brother Sam out of his house, calling him a really offensive name. And then he ends up having Elle all to himself. But later in the episode 4, Sam exposes him to be a psychopath with no remorse at all while Campbell drowns Elle, but Allie thinks it’s bullcrap and decides to free him. It proves to be a mistake at the end (which we will come to later). Campbell basically represents every abuser in real life and deconstructs the bad boy archetype we’ve seen in the media. Whatever he does isn’t romanticised for entertainment and it shows he is the ankle-biting, menopause-aching and cockroach-crawling worst.

Harry Bingham:

Harry is introduced as a popular rich kid, but all of that gets changed after he and others get shifted to New Ham. He is jealous of Cassandra and doesn’t agree with her methods at all and wishes that someone would shut her up. Unfortunately his wishes come true when Greg Dewey, a rampant psycho kills Cassandra, which drives Harry into guilt and eventually causes him to suffer from depression and isolate himself from others. Campbell takes advantage of this and uses Harry as his puppet for his reign of terror.

The Guard (Especially Clark and Jason):

Clark and Jason start off as typical dumb jocks in the series. They seem to want to play football and nothing else. Then when they end up in New Ham, they end up forming a police force known as the Guard (how there were no female jocks that could’ve been part of the guard, I’ll never understand.) At first they try to do the right thing and follow the rules of the Mayor (Cassandra and then Allie), but slowly and slowly they end up getting drunk with power and start abusing their prisoners. This even gets worse when Allie rejects their idea of joining the election to become the mayor and they join Campbell’s coup just out of spite against her. What is so realistic is that they even represent the police brutality that is rampant in some countries.

How these men ruined the ending?

What makes the ending worse is the fact that Allie, a woman leader and Will, a young black man were imprisoned by a psychopathic tyrant, a spoilt rich white kid and a group of angry young white men acting as the police. What makes this ending so controversial is the fact that this is taking place at the same time as the Me Too movement where the powerful people like Campbell are being exposed for their abuse against women and police brutality (like The Guard’s in New Ham) is getting exposed and protested against by everyone. And since the series got cancelled, we might never get a redemption to this controversial cliffhanger filled with abusive men taking power away from a female protagonist.

Breaking Stereotypes of Masculinity

While The Society failed most of it’s male characters, these days there are more nuanced portrayals of a lot of male characters on TV who have broken stereotypes of what men should be.

Elliot Alderson in Mr. Robot is the most popular example. He is a non-stereotypical male character who embodies all kinds of tropes that is usually applied to strong female characters such as the Broken Bird, The Independent Woman and the Gorgeous but Vengeful Female Vigilante who preys on abusive men such as perverts, cheaters, rapists, pedophiles etc. He is shown to be really sensitive and emotional but it doesn’t make him weak. He is even put through so much physical, emotional and mental trauma throughout the series, but he shows time and time again that he is strong and he is a true survivor. He even says that it’s his love and care for others that drives him to save the world.

Marty Deeks from NCIS: Los Angeles depicts the “Manic Pixie Dream Boy”, the role that is usually applied to female characters who try to lift a brooding male character from their despair. But the trope is gender flipped between Kensi and Deeks. Like every MPDG, Deeks also has the quirkiness, free spiritedness and vivaciousness and bursts into Kensi’s life when he first meets her. When he first meets Kensi, he makes it his goal to lift her from her brooding and jaded world and make her happy. And unlike the other MPDGs, he is even shown to have his own story. He also has his own struggles and flaws and is shown to battle with them from time to time, but still stays positive through all of it.

Din Djarin from The Mandalorian starts off as a tough bounty hunter, but after meeting Grogu, the jedi child, he becomes more soft and responsible with him and makes it his point to be protective of him. He isn’t afraid to show his feelings from time to time and to soften up a bit.

Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad is first seen as a manly small time gangster who teaches Walter White to roughen up. But as the series progresses, he is shown to be more sensitive and has more morals while Walter progresses down a very sociopathic path. His strength and weakness is that he cares a lot for a lot of people and loves a lot, which is what makes him human.
