Ah, no, I'm with you, I think it's silly when people act like politics is some abstract frivolous thing that runs parallel to reality rather than intrinsically throughout. What I meant was something as simple as the message of this episode and a comment like 'man, this was shitty for Hannah' is met with all this…

Seriously. Sean seems like a nice guy and all but he's been a mediocre, uninteresting actor since Skins, where he was the standout dud of a decent cast*. Baffles me how he keeps failing upwards

Right, not all propaganda is created equal. I remember right after election day people were like 'see, you were so surprised Trump won because of the liberal bubble you live in' which, sure, but that doesn't mean I should start forcing myself to hang out on The_Donald or following Richard Spencer on Twitter. There's…

I'm actively crossing my fingers that Fox News comes through for us here, how dire is that

Echo chambers aren't necessarily a bad thing if they're at least echoing facts

Well, yeah, I'm sure even more women (and men) have stories like that ^

THANK YOU

I dunno, dude. Everyone wants to make it a political issue, but it's seriously not. If anyone, man or woman, intentionally makes someone else feel sexually violated that's fucking awful. It truly baffles me how that's a controversial sentiment

I don't think they were arguing that it was harassment or assault, it was more that it's exploitative and wrong. I've been in a situation before where I did not want to have sex and said so, and the guy still pressured me into intercourse that - the entire time - I very clearly did not want to be having. I consented,…

There's a lot of toxic shit in this comment section already, but I just want to say: episodes like this aren't about whether or not what Chuck did 'could technically be classified as sexual assault'.

Especially in a situation where you have been accused of sexual assault and have been talking at length about it with a younger woman who idolises you. I feel like it's not at all unreasonable to expect him to have some basic verbal exchange with her about whether it's okay to shove his penis at her, especially after…

Yeah, that was my takeaway from the episode. I think almost every woman on earth has a story about a time a man intentionally created a situation where she felt sexually coerced / pressured / confused / obligated that resonated with her so strongly she still feels like 'gagging a little' to think about it even years…

I thought so too until poor Lola was so unceremoniously killed

I thought he might be going mad like his father, but that turned out to be poisoning in the end. I don't really mind if they go the Joffrey route since it should give Megan Follows some meaty material

I actually really like that they're giving her time to grieve, Leith was the first (and only, really) person in her life to make her feel strong, special and loved. I worried that they'd have her revert to the shallow person she was when she was first introduced instead, so it's kinda nice that they're writing toward…

I still have no idea what the fuck happened with season two. They made so many baffling choices

First of all, KAI! The promise of more Kai! Potential Kai/Bonnie interactions! More evidence that we could see KATHERINE!
