“Kind of adopted” would be where a man is the father-figure day-in-day-out in a household for most of a kid’s life, has proposed multiple times to the girl’s mom, has a biological child with a girl’s mom then officially adopts the rest of the girl’s younger siblings (in a legal precedent for unmarried couple - which…

1. you are so right. WOW. Woody only took nude photos of the teenaged daughter of his partner. that’s totally normal behavior.

“Sadie Sink was all of 14 when she said that. She’s just starting her career. You think a 14 year old actor, who wants to keep working, is going to have the fortitude and the perspective to take a public stand on bad behavior from the adults who employ her? C’mon, man. What was she supposed to say? “I hated it and…

You are absolutely right, there are gradations of behavior. And the overall context is men responding to women saying they are uncomfortable with something by pressing harder.

It’s almost never part of some mindfuck.

Two grown adults pushing a fifteen tear old girl into doing something she doesn’t want speaks VOLUMES of those men

you’re certainly welcome to try and rework what she said to fit your thesis of the adult showrunners somehow being “the boys with their crushes” preying on the girls.

That kiss was out of left field. It didn’t add to the scene or even make any sense in terms of characters.

the talking point goes from ‘let’s empower this young girl who I feel must have been abused for titillation’ to ‘this young girl doesn’t know shit vs. my uninformed take’.

For the record, she’s a child. There’s a reason for things like age of consent laws, we don’t as a society think a child is capable of understanding their own best interests. Adults employing children have a duty of care and even taking the child’s own statement into account, they crossed a line. It’s actually…

Yes, when the actor is a child, I do expect them to work around things that freak her out in that way. Especially these days.

A child actor with a small part on a Netflix show does not get paid millions, and it was not in the script, which is why she was so freaked out at first. In the end, she was fine with it, so no harm, no foul.

Actually, they forced a young girl to have her very first kiss on camera BECAUSE of her strong objections and her discomfort with it. They actually told her that they’d just been joking about her having to do an unscripted kiss, but because she reacted so negatively to the idea that they therefore HAD to do it,…

Let’s not forget that they forced a young girl to have her very first kiss on camera despite her strong objections and her discomfort with it. So the news that they are dicks to other women wouldn’t exactly knock me down with a feather.

Lol, my daughter just turned 5 months and I’m all, “They grow up so fast! :’( ”

calling it “unpatriotic” …

Because in the South, lynching represents wholesome, family, Christian values.

But I think that this is an important point to discuss about what is going on in the American society. Our girls aren’t shooting up schools, but our boys are. I was reading this article the other day about a guy that became a neo-nazi. His reasons for becoming a neo-nazi were essentially — 1)I can’t find a job within…

Yes. There was a little boy that I taught who I guarantee will be Trans. His mother was doing a wonderful job allowing him choices but she broke down in a conference wondering “when the phase would be over”. Our lead teacher told her she needed to phase out his obsession. I couldn’t override her stupid advice but I…
