Her costume is dope, but between her mask and the hoodie-shroud-thing her peripheral vision has to be less than zilch.

I know. I saw the episode I referenced. I'm applying the sentiment broadly. I suspect this hyper-literalism will be a theme throughout your post.

Does this "c'est la vie" attitude apply toward [insert popular thing bashed by the internet commentariat at large] or only to questionable media that is "too deep 4 you"?

I always try to keep one "shitty prestige drama" in my rotation for contrast.

There's a difference between "mystery" and "we don't even have to consider internally-consistent possibilities in the blank space because fans will accept whatever stupid bullshit we fling on the basis of it being a 'character study' in how people would react to implausible, made-up bullshit".

I'm so glad I scrolled down and landed on this part of the review first:

Delineating who was the worst between two hatchet-men seems a rather worthless endeavor. Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof are both awful. Ridley Scott at least has past successes to coast on.

Hey, it worked for The Weeknd.

Trust whatever animal instinct made you bail at precisely the right moment.

I'm super late to the discussion, but I feel it boils down to this bizarre inverse:

Pointing out the answer is "somewhere in the middle" somehow lacks profundity when the two extremes aren't even on the same planet as each other anymore…

Then isn't the problem specifically cyber-vigilantism (i.e. doxxing people)?

I'm just tired of this whole "gender wars" bullshit.

Given their advocacy and that their site is trusted enough to be a commonly-agreed upon source for statistics on sexual assault, I'm inclined to side with RAINN in regard to their wariness regarding the merit of the term "rape culture".

Hopefully, during the 911 call, Keanu resists the urge to humble-brag and goes straight to the "trying to murder me" bit.

We're not denying her personal experience; we're denying the conclusion she extrapolated from her experience as it relates to other victims.

To answer your question, yes, I think there are situations where the victim of a crime can reasonably feel at fault or even reasonably be considered at fault by others.

Question: Does Hynde, or you, believe she wouldn't have been raped in that exact same situation had she been dressed conservatively?

What bothers me isn't so much the merit of this "pragmatic advice", but rather that the urge to dispense it seems intimately related to a desire to police a woman's sexuality.

Call me daft, but even if I accept the premise that women in clubs often dress to signify they're D.T.F. (to which I say, true, fair enough), I don't follow the subsequent leap in logic dictating that she therefore must be acquiescing to any and all advances made on her by any of the men in her vicinity.
