Besides the apparent grossness of the show’s plot, the author of the novel has been accused of sexual harassment and dropped by his literary agent (the second article is mainly about the author of The Maze Runner’s harassment allegations, but Asher is mentioned as well):

It a: makes suicide look fairly easy/peaceful and b: shows that committing suicide is demonstrably the right thing to do. The main character kills herself and everyone is distraught over it, the people who’ve wronged are shamed for it, and lessons are learned that make life better for other girls like her. It’s…

Seriously. Jezebel editors, please promote how people can get help and not this gross show.

Lost my best friend since childhood to suicide during my junior year and I can’t fathom why this is a show.

This show romanticizes suicide. Fuck this show.

This show is so problematic. Like wow problematic.

I was unaware Roy Moore was a commenter here.

Jezebel just ran an article about a U.S. man who confessed to kidnapping, restraining, and vaginally and anally raped a 13-year-old girl and was sentenced to probation. The first comment on the article is a prolonged explanation from someone who claims to work in the legal system about how no one should have any…

Isnt that a thing to ponder. That you read it and think “huh. At least they get 9 years” (edit: which was my first reaction too)

The translation of Cuéntalo is better rendered (figuratively and literally) as “Tell It.” This is not mere fastidiousness but introduces a wider, deeper resonance (in both Spanish and English).

How is forcibly penetrating someone that doesn’t want you to NOT qualify as “violence?” How is a 5 to 1 ratio in the early morning hours not “intimidation?” I would say requirements met.

This. So many of them are whining about how her voice sounds. That’s such a red flag when men do that. It’s like they’re grasping for legitimate reasons to hate her, and all they can think of is her voice. Her womanly voice.

I assumed Ingruber was a shoe-in after I saw Age of Adaline. I was royally pissed when I found out they cast some rando and haven’t been able to muster up much enthusiasm since.

Conservatives in October 2016: It’s just locker room talk!
Conservatives in April 2018: This lady comedian is so vulgar!

I died laughing, but then again I have a sense of humor.

People keep claiming that Wolf makes fun of Sarah Slanders’ physical appearance, and I’m still trying to figure out where she does that. The smoky eyes and Aunt Lydia jokes were so fucking obviously about the lies and the bullshit.

Yesterday was the first time I heard about this killer and all that; but it seemed like HUGE news and I wanted to support McNamara even if she’s gone so I went and bought the book. This cop is making me want to kick him in the teeth.

Murder goes unsolved for 3o years.

One of the reasons the book was so powerful is because every crime against women was something that had already happened in history. (That’s why I get super annoyed at people like my brother who say, “That would never happen,” because it has!)

The only photos of Michelle we have rights to are of her alongside Patton. So it was either a close, awkward crop, or something resembling the one I used, which I think is actually sort of sweet—especially because he has continued her work.
