I said what I said.

His arc was about over coming his past and dealing with his misogyny. Making it sound like it didn’t come out of nowhere, and that it was perfectly reasonable to turn it into a psychodrama in this completely light weight show is disingenuous. They did a hatchet job on the character because of off screen problems. It…

Is this why she turned him into an assface on the show????

I’m not here to help resolve anything. You’re talking about two genders having a right to banter. I, personally, find this galling. Since when has Jezebel become a place male commenters can tell female commenters to chill on their feelings because those feelings are about their inscrutable past? This is a women’s…

It’s completely different and the cute, appealing characters are all bitter and shitty and mean.

I find surgery on faces I’ve become familiar with distracting. I don’t come from a place of judgement. I’m just used to seeing one face, and see a different face. It’s basically the very definition of distracting. Not something worth focussing on but constantly dragging at your attention.

Mindy became better? Admittedly I did stop watching but as I remember it Mindy became insufferable.

I was very sad to see Danny bc this horrible guy and I couldn’t really understand it in the arc of the show. I suppose there was a message there about how adorable someone could be, and then become abusive, but it felt... well... sad. He seemed like a truly loveable guy which again, perhaps the point, but brutal. I…

Just adding my response to Moral Dictata which was dismissed bc... who can say? Doesn’t like disagreement?

And yet, here you are, the counter point. The dissenting voice who is not as foolish as this simple mob. Who claims to see her more clearly as she was, and could be; damaged and difficult, used and abused, etc.

Fuck off, man. Jeez.

Yeah. I grew up around these people. I’m not even sure it was always that sincere but it was very annoying to the normal punk groups that just wanted drugs and anarchy.

LOL I’m always going ape on the wrong commenter. I mean not always but have done more than once. It’s so embarrassing.

There’s a fair bit of research on this which is actually a very interesting read, if you avoid the more gender essentialist stuff. What most of it amounts to is that children/ teens will almost compulsively order themselves in some manner of pecking order. How the order is established tends to be gendered, not as an…

This. It’s about violence and degradation. This whole “maybe they will kiss” thing is just an abjuration of the idea that sex is inherently degrading and physically vulnerable/ potentially painful for women. The turn on is the aggression and the pain.

Not always. It’s meant to, but a lot of the time people wore the white and red interchangeably.

The two minutes of hate vibe can get really disconcerting.

Nah. The red laces on the docs makes them nationalists.

A lot of Prods also actively dislike Catholics and think we/ they are idolators so there’s that, too.

LOL. The Jews are basically Catholics thing runs thick and fast in my family, especially since my ma is actually Jewish (albeit sort of half heartedly converted) and my Da was a very reluctant and lazy Irish Catholic - in Ireland fwiw. Not some plastic paddy.
