Awww, I love it!

I think it was on TBS or something, so.. It wasn't bad in sticking pretty clearly with the book, if memory serves, but I'm sure it got panned because WHOA, WAIT, WHAT? - but if you've read the book you knew all that. Y'know, it was also a mini-series, so it's probably lost to the ether.

I'm partial to Morgaine Le Fay from the Mists of Avalon, but that's a leeeeetle off the pop culture path. Unless you're pagan, in which case it's like An Important Text, or something.

Edited it out, and apologies. I also sort of forget that GT is more like a "real" platform and not just a comment.

Yes, that's me, and yes, that's just like you, Rooo... actually, I'm teasing because you're right, and I would have linked, had I freaking known HOW to link to a single comment! That's why I gave you a head's up and all the credit, fwiw. I have NO problem editing it out if you'd like.

I wanted to let you know I had to quote your amazing poem over on a post I did in GT. This deserves about a zillion more recommends.

Exactly - this doesn't seem to be "oh, white ppl, why so racist???" focused (though it's there, for sure) but more "omg, are you serious with that?" Some of them are just random black people walking by random white people doing random white ppl stuff (you know, like sipping a Pumpkin Spice Latte) and you catch a POC…

The smaller joke is black people giving white people serious side-eye. The bigger is that in many cases it's well-earned. (I think I was expecting more of the White Racists Being Racists and less of the random side-eye before I clicked through.)

No, I get it perfectly, and have said the same thing in other comments - the only factual information we have is the above quote from CB, and that's it. Everything else is guessing what happened. All the way around.

Warning noted.

Of your you would say sorry to a horrible human being

His reaction is common among male victims. You ignore this and project your desire for his rapist to be a victim.

" I'd be disgusted and alarmed and quick to judge the environment in which the children were raised," might as well judge all of America then. Just as young girls are taught to be sexualized, young boys are taught to be sexual. This plays a part in the majority of this country saying "Men always want sex"

Explain. Do you believe Chris Brown is lying about his community, the culture in which he was raised? Just now

I don't care if the person became a star or not and I'm not sure why that would be germane. But more than that,regardless of gender, if the person stated it was a mutually agreed upon action, I'd be disgusted and alarmed and quick to judge the environment in which the children were raised, exactly as with this…

"I'm sure there is a peer pressure element in here somewhere as well, on both parts, if indeed Chris Brown isn't lying and this is just how it was for kids in his community"

No, we cannot discuss any possibility that the circumstances under which this was considered "normal" may have influenced her actions.

Thank you, but tread lightly, this way lies madness.

"And you find it GROSS that I suspect abuse? Are you fucking with me right now? You think she just popped out of the womb as a rapist waiting to happen?? "
