So the original squid game is a critique of capitalism, but this reality show is modeled after the show (minus the actual death part), with 456 contestants competing for 4.56mm, put up by Netflix, and we're surprised that actual contestants have been harmed during filming?

That's more money than most of them and their entire families will see in their entire lives.

I think there's a misunderstanding, no one was surprised by this. They had medics all ready to go.

What Netflix is saying is that the injuries weren't "serious", not that they're caught off guard by them.

3 out of 456 people having injuries seems extremely realistic in any slightly risky circumstance. Like that seems pretty close to going hiking on a rough trail.

I don't know if they've already wrapped filming but if not I would think more would get hurt. They only mentioned red light green light and there were lots of games in the show.

True but still. I would think a higher percentage of elementary kids get some level of injury on field days.

And if it's truly as bad as people claim then I would expect to get some kind of hard evidence at some point.
