I despise, DESPISE, Hugh Hefner. Yet I have enjoyed so much that Playboy has published. Conundrums!

What a sweetie.

Is anyone surprised? He’s got personality disorder all over him. He’s repulsive.

Yes, you are a terrible parent for viewing it with her and not giving her context for it. :/ What the fuck, dude.

It’s a huge bummer to run into those viewers/readers. Good on you for trying to have a rational discussion. I gave up.

Tell us all of it pagan skin god, so that we may worship you.

Do you think La Mer really works? I read somewhere that if you spend over $50 on a skin cream you’re likely just buying the name and packaging.

She is really beautiful. It’s almost unreal and confusing?

I fucking love Laura Dern (and so does David Lynch) and I wish she was cast in more films and shows.

Your suggestion would have been even more eerie and horrifying, actually. Much better at building dread.

There are certain “types” of readers that it’s not even worth having discussions with. These include ones who cannot conceive of scenarios where prostitutes can be raped.

Your understanding of sexual assault is frightening.

Child prostitution and human trafficking is pretty “shocking” for the majority of people. It has always been a worst case scenario for most people to engage in, not a first choice for money or entertainment for a reason. And it’s considered a human right violation. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Pretty sure I’m not complaining to you or anyone else about anything.

Someone is going around pulling us out of the grays. LIKE A WIZARD.

I guess I’m ok with being in the grays. I feel like I am a wee ghost haunting comments and dust bunnies and such.

People may be able to put themselves in the shoes of the men and women who have been raped and beaten on the show more easily than relate to someone being burnt alive. It may hit a different nerve in that sense, which is why some may decide to leave the show, because of how poorly they handle assault.

I’m glad we spent several days agreeing with each other? Peace.

If her mental health wasn’t stable, she needed a counselor. Not an authoritarian punishment. Which brings me back to my original point of talking to her, finding a supportive structure for her instead, and not mortifying her.

There’s nothing wrong with having a strong emotional reaction to a story, just a story. The best stories bring about emotions and questions, often times conflicting ones. It’s frustrating to see the common response of “go home and watch Blues Clues” when intelligent posters want to discuss their responses to story…
