One fan began by pointing out: “Okay don’t take this the wrong way, as yes, what Gilead is doing to many children by separating them from their parents and brainwashing them is horrible, but there’s something I don’t think a lot of people are addressing: How many Gilead actually had horrible parents before Gilead?”
They went on to say: “How many kids willingly went to the arms of wives and commanders simply because they seemed better than what was going on at home?
“Or what if that same child embraced Gilead for the same reason Lillie did at first: yeah it’s not ideal at times but people care about you and you have a roof over your head and three square meals; and then that child was sent to Canada on the plane?”
The Handmaid’s Tale season three is now available to stream on Hulu.
