Tangled!

Yes, the annoying kid characters were the reason I didn't watch much children TV as a child.
In the UK we had a show called 'Hey Arthur' whited used to annoy me on such a visceral level I had to change the channel whenever it came on.

Well… Now I'm off to watch some bondage.
Thanks header image, I thought that was Wonder Woman's job.

I think the faster a death happens the more trivial it seems. Player it out longer shows the character more respect and makes the moment more powerful.
The opposite end of the spectrum would be a character receiving a raven and saying "oh so-and-sos dead" which would certainly be efficient but hardly impactful.

I do agree about the "only child" line could have done without that. I almost think the more real estate it takes up the more it's justified in existing.
We get to know the character a little more before she dies and it does become yet another anonymous person murdered off screen, it seems less casual.

But it is off screen, I knew it was going to cutaway as soon as the scene started which kind of took some of the tension out for me.
I sort of wish they'd had the guts to let it play out even more on camera.

And don't mistake a pro-consent slogan as exclusively anti-rape, but we're now literally getting into semantics.
So I'm going to leave the conversation now and wish you well, we both appear to be on the same side generally and this conversation doesn't appear to be going anywhere productive.
It didn't mean you any…

It's a slogan about consent and respect, people may have used it for that at first but it's become an all-purpose "don't be a dick and accept rejection" catch-phrase.
It's used for "you should smile more" comments and "can I touch your hair?" questions as much as it's used for sexual assault.
The word no always means no…

I'm not trivialising it at all because this conversation wasn't about that. You're the one who brought it up (or maybe it was someone else I can't be bothered to check back the comments thread while I'm at work).
This is about respecting a woman (or anyone) when they say they don't want something, that doesn't have to…

Sadly not, my mind went blank on all references and they all came flooding back the second the stage door closed.

I'm not talking about legal rights in this case (although it does differ from country to country), it's about the word "no" having a definition that should be respected. It really shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp:
If we're eating together and you ask if I'd like another slice of cake and I say "no" you don't just…

"No Means No" isn't just about rape though, it's about respecting people's privacy and decisions.
There are many forms of harassment (or just general dickish behavior) where people should respect "no means no" outside of sex.

It's not illegal to ask women to "smile" in public either but you still shouldn't do it.
Lots of "No Means No" situations aren't felonies they're just about basic respect. You can be a complete asshole without breaking any laws (you could also be a very polite and kind criminal).

They're entitled to try and charge for them if they want, but we'll try them for free first and then decide if they're worth of our money.
All art is busking as far as the internet is concerned.

Yes. Sir Ian Mckellen bumped into me two weekends ago at a Shakespeare event.
Me and my girlfriend where standing outside the theater in the hopes some of the performers (David Tennant or Benedict Cumberbatch in her case) would come out and do autographs (sadly only Prince Charles did).
Behind me I heard a deep voice…

Just get Mythbusters on it.

It's because people treat real celebrity relationships like 'shipping' and if this couple are their 'OTP' then they're 'meant' to be together and therefor neither of them are the 'bad guy'.
They're the protagonists and anyone who breaks them apart is the antagonist, I've rarely seen people considering that maybe these…

I've never really bought that line of philosophical reasoning. It
strikes me as a baseless attempt to import "original sin" into nominally non-theist morality. If I think that doing the right thing is the best thing to do, I don't think that makes me less moral."

Or simply breakdown into tears, it would be really interesting if you did that in a game and next time your saw that house-owner they were emotionally defeated and begging on the street or you saw them executed in the town-square for theft.
Would really make the player think about their actions without physically…

Game of Thrones was certainly the Telltale game were I felt like I had the least agency, while that does fit the world I think it made it less engrossing than The Wold Among us or The Walking Dead where you felt more in control (even if things didn't always work out in your favor).
