PPP is Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

wait, how do we know the whole heroin scene was a hallucination? when he wakes up it looks like he's been shot in the arm, and maybe Mr. Robot was able to get him out of the heroin den and back to the hotel. i didn't even think it was a hallucination until i came upon this review…

that second shot visibly ripped him up

the teenagers on this show are nihilistic not because they are what adults see teenagers as, but because three years prior they witnessed 2% of the world's population disappear. that would make anybody in the midst of puberty nihilistic.

great

how can you legitimately have a problem with this guy? kid's a fucking genius

"Words to live by in any profession: 'None of you guys are special or magical. Some of you are luckier and some of you work harder than others. You’re just guys.' "

but they don't "get" them, that's the beauty of it!

right, that was why i liked it better

i liked american pie better when they rebooted it and called it superbad

She absolutely did not consent. She said "bye" a bunch of times and attempted to leave the apartment.

But if the person who is acting on feelings and assumptions and impulses thinks back to this episode, then why would they ever change their behavior, since on the show it works out well in the end for both parties? The show doesn't show Louie's pushing in an unfavorable light, so why would the viewer? My issue isn't

That's fair. He did get his punishment in the morning, after all. As long as the show itself doesn't endorse his behavior, I'm okay with the situation.

That's fair. After all, he gets his punishment in the morning.

The part where she said "bye" a bunch of times. What happened after that is irrelevant because it occurred after one partner did not take no for an answer. If he had stopped pushing when she had dissented and then she had changed her mind and pushed back, then there wouldn't be a problem. But he didn't. He robbed her

"this type of scenario is also something that happens *all the time*"

She clearly dissented at a few points, yet Louie kept pushing. That's rape.

She firmly dissented at one point. The fact that it didn't end there means it was rape.
