Erm, because they are defending the rape as non sexual by referencing the source material as if it is unimpeachable fact. Jamie doesn’t ‘see’ it anyway because he isn’t real, so his feelings in the book really don’t have much of a impact on what was portrayed on the screen. The show was sexualising the rape to attempt…

You do realise Jamie is a written character not a real person?

You do realise that is literally sexualising and eroticizing rape don’t you? Can you imagine if you were describing a man raping a women as ‘for Jack this as an act of love’.

‘what is rape but sexualized violence’

Sorry that is b.s. It was clearly designed to titillate the viewer, with the lingering shots on his naked body and the fact it was the entire fucking episode! It was as sexualised a rape scene as I can remember.

Yeah, it was one of the most sexualised rape scenes I have ever seen as well. Also Claire is nearly raped at least twice from what I can remember.

Wonder how much rape they will fill it up with this season. GoT gets hammered for its rape scenes yet Outlander has lots as well and little really said about it.

She seems really committed to proving what a complete idiot she is.

It changes what you mean completely tbh. She was able to consent for at least a fill year. It is creepy and gross but nothing similar to paedophilia

The age of consent in the UK is 16, so both the ages you mention are legal.

Try to fit even more classism into your next post.

You literally have these the wrong way around. Hating stuff people like is what wannabe Cool People do.

Sanders gender split is 50/50 (same as Clinton) so it isn’t a ‘young, white man’ thing.

Can’t wait for Natasha Vargas-Cooper to not really bother research the story then do a snarky, irritating ‘expose’ where she softballs/fails to properly question a crucial witness.

I am just glad that the Nazi’s who guarded Ravensbrück were women. #equality

Lol

This is the natural conclusion of white, corporate feminism to be honest. Ignore political economy, boil everything down to one simplistic notion.

If Kendrick loses out to Taylor Swift then ISIS might have half a point.

Yeah, I should have been clearer I was just pointing out that Roman times was far less ‘healthy’ than Victorian times wasn’t meaning to conflate.

I can’t decide who I like the least. Yuck.
