This happened to me! When I was a teenager there was a Perelli Tire commercials where at the the end there is sort of a metal man. I thought what if there was a villain made of liquid metal who could turn into weapons. 2 years later Terminator 2 happened. I figure now would be a good time to sue for my original idea.

This show was a problematic hot mess. That said: is Nola truly into polyamorous relationships or is she a jerk who is merely playing with polyamory as a great excuse for being a jerk? A different show with different writers would, in their second season, throw Nola completely out of whack by showing her/us a true…

Spike writes a female character as a one dimensional freak, shocker.

How is it homophobic?

the pressure not to name names or call out inappropriate behaviour and cause a “fuss” “because we need to stick together” was horrifying.

I was raped when I was black out drunk as a teenager. It took me 5-10 years to admit to myself I didn’t consent and deserved better from a fellow human. I’m sorry these people took advantage of you, who knows to what degree they were aware. Sex/threesomes deserve the respect of consciousness.

One of my best friends is a blackout drunk. It took me a rally long time to figure it out. She appeared drunk but not out of it, basically like any other person at the party who’s had a few. It was only after living with her and because I’m a pretty observant person that I was able to see when she was ‘out of it’ but…

There’s a girl I used to be friends with who would get black out drunk while on all kinds of antidepressants. I honestly wasn’t sure how much of her stories were lies or just what she remembered because she was also very manipulative. Anyway, on multiple occasions I saw was with her and she would get heavily involved…

Same! I once woke up after blackout drunk naked in bed with my guy friend. I was completely shocked which freaked him out because he said I acted like normal drunk me, just more aggressive. He knew how much I drank, but I still didn’t blame him.

I’m pretty open around here with my alcoholism, and I was a binge drinker prone to blackouts for many years.

Interesting question....... Perhaps you can have someone you trust record interactions with you while in such a state? Of course that data would only be useful to you personally, though perhaps that would be enough for you. However I’m not entirely sure of the ethics involved in such a study, if it would even be…

My best friend growing up sounds like this molester. She used me and touched me and every male companion that I had as much as possible because she couldn’t handle rejection or any attention I got. 6 men have come out against her. I can’t even talk about it to people because no one takes women seriously and no one…

It can also be hard to come forward in a small community, like the LGBT community, because everything is so intertwined. In my hometown, there was a guy who had “inappropriate relationships” with some of my friends (I don’t know the exact details, but they were coercive and had a huge power differential). None of my…

So, I’m happy (wut?) that this discussion is taking place. As a blackout drunk (i.e. a smallish percentage of people who have giant gaps in their memory after drinking too much, but who were not apparently unconscious during this time) I have “awoken” to both a random dude I apparently picked up in a bar and my best…

On the one hand, I agree. But on the other, this sort of narrative is still fairly prevalent in the US, and we even have jackasses like Kevin Spacey who are actively feeding it for their own selfish purposes.

“She never said no”

That shit told me all I need to know about how evil this woman is. Words of a predator. Reading these words from a woman filled me with such disgust.

It sounds exactly like what a manipulative narcissist says, and my guess is that after Martinez raped her, she manipulated the rest of their friendship in hopes of having this memory suppressed or redefined or both. I also wouldn’t be surprised if she targeted Heller because she had codependent tendencies, that would…

Yeah, how could she not see how “she never said no” sounds? So many rapists say that about victims who quietly cried or tried to squeeze their legs shut. Ugh.

I beg you to imagine her role in this being a man. Girls can rape girls.

The entire statement is rife with bullshit language. “the story told by Timothy” = meant to imply fiction. They both have “demons” = meant to discredit. What we “chose” to do together = meant to imply consent.
