This is some victim-blaming bullshit. Not only had he been drinking, but tonic immobility is a real, studied phenomenon during sexual assault. I’d write you off as just a troll, but way too many people believe victims (particularly men) can just fight back and stop the assault. 

Well, it looks like we’re about to see the beginning of the end for #MeToo.... good riddance.  It started off as a wake-up call to all of the shit that was going on in Hollywood and yet those who started the movement proved to be just as bad.  Shame!  In the end, there are no winners.  Only losers.  Thanks a lot…

I’ve long argued against cultural stereotyping of fat people as either villains (usually the inept and contemptible kind rather than the cool Hans Gruber type) or figures of fun, and like Guy Branum says, there is no place whatsoever for fatsuits. You want a fat person in your show/film, fucking cast an actual fat per…

Nah, he strikes me as a guy who enjoys being led around on a leash by dominant, physically superior women.

He looks like he goes to high school girls volleyball games and sneaks into the locker room to steal their underwear.

The irony is, at the time, the Artistic Production award was more of the patronizing one, a gesture to those who sought to legitimize the art of the motion picture, when the studio heads conceived of the Oscars more as a marketing gimmick (the reason the Oscars have always been head early in the year was because until…

Yeah this is bullshit. Turning the Oscars into the MTV Movie Awards does neither any favors.

Eh, I’ve always viewed it more as - The Right: “Why won’t you PC snowflakes let us sing/pray/observe our Holiday!” vs. everyone else’s “um, no one said you couldn’t, chill the f* out.”

But the point is that AS LONG AS you are telling the story of a trans man, why not hire a trans man to portray him? Are you telling us that there are NO trans men in Hollywood? That NO casting agency across the whole of the United States (or England, where we import our finest actors) (or Australia, where we import…

The left wing can never make their mind up about things.

Hot take question - most estimates suggest there are between 1 and 2 million transpeople in the US. That is a lot of people. Their rights are just as important as anyone else’s, and given how often they are the victims of discrimination, including hate crimes, it is both right and necessary to educate the public on…

Yet Syd sexually assaulted her mother’s boyfriend. Since she was using her mother’s body, technically her mother too. On top of that, he went to jail for it. Yet we were still able to see Syd as “good” after.

Like I said I’m not comfortable with the show going there at all, but it’s dealing with powers and abilities that are hardly relatable. I completely respect anyone’s take on this and I’m still trying to square it away myself.

To be fair, Syd also raped her mother’s boyfriend and got him sent to prison for it. David raping Syd is also horrible. They are both questionable figures. I think Farouk is right that what David did was wrong, and Syd will forever hate him for it. The truth is that David is the villain and Syd with Farouk will have…

It’s interesting that Syd’s experience with her mother’s boyfriend didn’t seem to provoke a similar reaction out of this reviewer.

I’m 100% on Team David. I didn’t like the choice of the assault angle, but I’m choosing to believe that everyone else is deluded more than likely by the Shadow King.

I think you’re jumping to a conclusion on the sexual assault. The mouse told Syd something.

Unfortunately, just the sex worker part makes the likelihood of a bad end probable. I don’t know if you watched The Deuce, but that’s definitely the biggest example of that that comes to mind.

You can agree with a right wing religious organization and not be in agreement with everything that that right wing religious organization stands for. You can be two things.
