No, not once a year. How about never. It’s become a trope, and that’s bullshit.

Cosigned.

Even if there was one rape scene a year and it’s relevant as hell, the choreography and care of the crew/performers would still be worthy of attention, no?

I’d be a little more inclined to the reflection of reality angle if more of it took place off screen, where it could inform characterization without exciting the audience. It seems like premium shows revel in graphic depictions, while network shows and many movies lean toward attempted rape that results in no insights…

Particularly since 99% of it is basically rape porn.

Too much violence happens against women in the real world

As someone in the stage world, “rape choreographer” is a really fucked title. Normally, those people are called “stage choreographer.” In film, I believe they are called “fight coordinator.”

Wow, so part of me is super happy to know that someone is there to look out for the actors in these scenes,but I am super bummed that rape is used in film often enough for it to be necessary.

Maybe we could just have less rape in our tv and movies?

My best guess is that 10% covers family members/friends of the victim’s current or former partner.

Abusers kill other people. Say the woman goes to live with her sister or mother. And they are killer too or instead for keeping the wife/girlfriend from him. Or children.

“First of all let me say that the only reason I terrorized your family is because you people are evil and want to destroy America. It was nothing personal. Secondly, I want to thank you for settling this in a real court, and not reverting to that Creeping Sharia Law you folks love so much. And thirdly, I just want to…

I thought I’d see if I could find you a duck with laurel leaves, and I did! The internet is a wonderful and weird thing.

I once witnessed 2 bros drunkenly mocking gay people at a brewery in Seattle. I mean, if you hate homosexuals, Seattle is not the city for you...

‘Man cursed to keep his haircut in 6th grade for life’

IDK... There’s a world of difference between being “scared” from propaganda vs being scared because a jackass is trailing you and spouting vitriol. One is bullshit and the other is legit scary. It doesn’t seem like he gets that. Also, he wasn’t acting like a scared person. So when he says his behavior arose from fear,…

It’s funny he uses that exact phrase; that’s Republican Double-Speak 101. He should run for Kentucky state senate.

his remarks as quoted above show at least a hint of self-awareness

Always such a bullshit statement. I’d love to hear his ideas about the content of that conversation, but he can start by explaining why muslims should even have to explain to willfully ignorant morons why they and other muslims are not trying to kill them. He can’t even keep his sense of entitlement out of an apology.

No.
