None at all in years, since he switched gears. Early on, he was the only performer most women noticed, for the reasons I stated. He stood out. Since many women were noticing him at once, he began to be discussed, which meant he got to be identified by name.

Not exactly.

Dude the new Courtney Milan comes out next week, and here you are serving up truth tea about Victorian shit.

I don’t think his career has anything to do with female fandom anymore, so...if anything, this will make him more appealing to male porn viewers. He didn’t break through with them until he started the whole gang rape thing. When he first started out and his thing was smiling and connecting with smiling actresses -…

I think most people who were part of the groundwell of interest that put him where he is were going off of his early work, which was pretty much about him making eye contact and otherwise seeming to actually connect with the actresses. It stood out to me because the actresses were smiling and he was smiling back. I…

The intertextuality of Kilgrave meeting Jessica for the first time and reacting to her *exactly* like Ten running across a shiny delightful new human and then just making her his companion floored me. It brought so many layers to what was going on, it was brilliant.

Eh, there are approximately 99% fewer Jessica/Kilgrave shippers than there would be in most shows, because most shows would try to have it both ways with Kilgrave.

I hope you never enter his presence in less than three inch heels.

Yes. That sounds very efficient.

The pornography his buddy produced and shared with him featured six and ten year old girls. He also bragged - and was recorded - about how great it felt to rape 8 year old boys during his trips to Thailand for that purpose. He asked multiple people for access to “really young girls,” which, considering his porn and…

That seems dangerous. What if it falls off? Something permanent, like a tattoo, perhaps...

Headline says 30,000 words, body says 30,000 pages.

They don’t really think it will get them a meet. Their kink is forcing women to hear/see that shit. It’s kind of like asking why men like nonconsensual nudes when the Internet is full of consensual ones. The non-consensual imposition is the point. It’s a thrill, like flashing and obscene phone calls used to thrill…

Right. Because it couldn’t be something like, these cups can be used year round if they have an oversupply, and they could even burn them off two months later as Valentine’s Day cups.

Actually that happens with new markets in the Middle East. Taking 40-yo Harlequins and giving them a cell phone facelift.

MM romance is almost entirely by women, for women. And unfortunately you see a lot of internalized misogyny in them.

Straight women read M/F, MMF/MFM, and MM. In the extremely rare case that a romance novel not written specifically for a lesbian audience throws in a little FF action (and it’s never the romance, it’s used as “spice”), warning labels get plastered all over it. Similarly, ménage will get a label specifying whether or…

I mean I thought you were human, but apparently you’re an advocat.

I mean the reception is probably shit, though. And batteries die.

The “girl” thing is extensively debated in the pilot.
