All rape is (also) psychological abuse. I don't see your point. There is no good rape.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. When we, as a society, agree to do horrible things to “bad” people, we leave the door open to wide interpretation of the word “bad”.

It’s wild how the person you’re responding to doesn’t understand that “but it’s okay because they DESERVE it” is exactly what rape apologists believe. They just draw the line at who “deserves it” differently.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

The Nazis had similar conceptions.

For me it actually is. Had 3 tough news the last two days and this seems to be now the start of an upwards trend. Let's see if we will get Trump's dementia confirmed next. 

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

At least Ross isn’t the actual one being prosecuted, so he can be forgiven to some extent for not knowing that talk of leaving the country would get Tate in trouble.  What the hell did Tate think he was doing?

“Eugen Vidineac, the Tates’ counsel, said there’s “no truth” to what Ross read live, ardently expressing the brothers’ intent to “actively [participate] in the legal process” in order to defend their reputation.”

It’s early yet, but I alreadyt say best news of the week.

The lesson here: Don’t release broken games.

That was my thought, he’s got Musk’s shaft so far down his throat that he can’t even admit the obviously shitty design was shit and likely contributed to his wife’s death if not outright caused it. I get being an EV fan but doesn’t mean one still can’t say something is bullshit on specific EV’s and a shitty design. A…

Touchscreen shifters are a fantastically stupid idea.

Spider-Verse was better in just about every way. It was like a movie from the future. But voters probably didn’t even see either movie, and just voted for Miyazaki.

I wouldn’t say robbed, but yeah, I kinda think Spider-Verse was better.

Came here for this, not disappointed. That episode has always been in my Top 10. I get why Groenig feels the way he does about it, but it’s a shame, because it’s one of the episodes that hits the gas pedal and just doesn’t let up. Every throwaway gag is just as funny as the stuff in the main story.

The sad thing is, this Simpson’s episode was all James L. Brook’s baby. He was the EP on The Critic, and Groening felt that this was just a shameless attempt to push The Critic on audiences. Even to the point that he had his name removed from the credits and publicly criticized Brooks . And the reality is that it was…

This is extremely nerdy, but an episode of the 80s transformers cartoon had cobra commander as a “secret” crossover, and that blew my mind as a kid.

Remember that episode of Day By Day where Ross fell asleep and dreamt he was in a Brady Bunch episode? Then Chris Barnes (Ross) went on to play Greg in the Brady Bunch movies.

What, no “Murder, She Wrote”/“Magnum P.I.”?
