I’m not sure citing the PTC is really worth much overall, since those assholes have also thrown a shitfit over same-sex displays of affection, among countless other things. I mean, they’re right about this one, but a stopped clock etc...

You know, when you’re good enough in your field to get hired to do craft or technical work on what’s expected to be a hit show, I doubt you end up unemployed for more than a few days before some other production snaps you up.

I’d love to know where you work, where everything and everyone passes the purity test. I’ve worked for shitty companies, I’ve worked with shitty people. I don’t agree with their shittiness, but unfortunately I can’t live on a trust fund in a purity bubble.

It’s TV MA. Your children shouldn’t be watching it if you think they’re suicidal and homicidal. You should know your children better before you let them watch shows that are rated TV-MA, and then blame the show for “inspiring” them to glamorize suicide. Are we next going to blame Breaking Bad for glamorizing drug…

Censorship isn’t the answer. Good parenting is. Let’s not put the onus on somebody/something else.

“I don’t think I can do season 2.”

I think I’m one of the few who love this show. I actually thought the 2nd season was pretty boring compared to the first. And yes the rape scene is pretty brutal but it opens up so many options for the 3rd season and I cant wait. As someone who has struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts I have to say this…

There is such a thing as parental controls on Netflix, and people old enough to have their own accounts can just decide not to watch it. Would suck to live in a world where we just ban fictional stories we don’t like. Human Centipede is on Netflix for fucks sake.

None of what I am about to say disagrees with the idea that this show is triggering, and that people can and should choose to practice self-care about watching it.

I don’t know how these parents organizations can have their heads in the sand while having their heads up their asses at the same time.

I think you are just asking these questions in an attempt to poke holes in my comment, for reasons I don’t know. I suppose “molecular level” proof of intrasexaual competition would be the stated fact that y-chromosome ancestry (male lineage) unequivocally shows that far fewer males had the opportunity to reproduce…

It’s not even clicks. This is the default response of every 20-something liberal who’s never had a cubicle in an office building.

If I were to boil down the defining characteristic of marriage in USA 2018, it would be family.

They did impeach him; they just didn’t convict him.

Fair to say the Russian Roulette trick is fake, it’s a magic trick like the bullet catch or the knife version that looks like it goes terribly, terribly wrong. I admire his commitment to the whole hypnotist/manipulator bit but I like his plain old trickery better:

Jesus was still Asian, right?

This is like telling the US-born child of immigrants that they’re not really American because of their lineage.

I guess this is everyone’s periodic reminder that, to quote Jezebel editorial staff, “[Jezebel’s] readers don’t have to and shouldn’t take our word on something just because we publish it, especially without hard proof.”

First of all, the screenplay was adapted while only the first book existed and the other two were not yet written (Source, about halfway down).

Portman was born in Asia (and holds dual citizenship).
