If only this person lost his job. Though, all I wanted was for the author to change the fucking wording, but he couldn't even do that.

I don't need to rewatch the scene. I don't get confused by something as silly as music. I don't think no means yes. This scene was very intentionally filmed as rape. There is simply no other way to look at it. Person in position of power chains someone to a wall. Person in position of power undresses in front of…
I'm not even sure what you're asking here. The fact of the matter is that rape is not a fun kink. It shouldn't be described as a fun kink. Rape shouldn't be shrugged off as "well, he's a dude and he probably wouldn't consider it rape anyway".
Do you seriously think that joking makes it not rape? That's scary.
Except all of the visual cues as well as dialogue made it clear it was rape. A big point was made in chaining Murphy to the wall again. A big point was made in Murphy saying he did not want to have sex with Ontari. The ending dialogue was blindingly clear. In order to survive, he had to have sex. This is not…
I'm not sure how they meant for the scene to be 'sexy'. It's clearly written as rape. Like, textbook definition of rape. There's nothing unclear about the lack of consent here. They even went out of their way to make sure there was no confusion by pointedly chaining him to the wall again. All of the scene and…
To be clear, my issue isn't with the fact that the show portrayed rape. It's that the author of this review called rape "a fun kink".
Um, no, obviously he didn't. "The things I do to survive" isn't "yes, I would like to have sex with you while I'm chained to the wall."
As a female survivor of rape, it's insensitive, horrifying and nauseating that this scene was considered anything other than rape. Murphy did not consent. It's rape. The fact that it's referred to as a 'fun kink scene' is beyond the pale. I can't even fathom what was going through the reviewers mind when he wrote…
Not much to love about rape or sex slavery.
I don't appreciate rape being called a 'fun kink'. Pretty sure I have the moral high ground here.
IT'S STILL RAPE!!!! Doesn't matter if he joked about it, doesn't matter if he becomes aroused. What matters is that he did not consent.
I'm glad you'll manage. But most normal people find the idea of rape being likened to 'fun kink' disgusting and horrifying.
I'm definitely submitting a written complaint about this reviewer to the powers that be at AV Club and others should, too. This is horrifying.
Yes, thank you. It makes me ill that the author here would call it some sort of 'fun kink'. Disgusting and disturbing.
