I wouldn’t call that abuse, no, but it seems to be a connective thread through many abusive relationships.

I feel sorry for her. Absolutely. But it’s not because she is “vapid” (I don’t think she is). And I don’t think she is a “blank slate” or a “poor boo hoo victim.”

Junior Senator, Chris Murphy is on it.

But it is a good thing. All the dudes over on the Red Pill are using their friend-zoned hardons to create a ladder for the chad-wannabe of their calling, so the mediocre average joe can climb his way to the top and marry the beautiful, 19-year-old virginal submissive lady of his dreams. Trump is their hero.

That’s a lie. You want to click it. You do.

He’ll find fellow kindred souls over at the Red Pill. The mothership calls him home.

Oh... God.... yes.

Fuck yes I do. Show me all the peen.

Yeah, Westword really helped even out the scales, so to say. There was peen everywhere.

I have encountered numerous people who post Obama/monkey and make FLOTUS/ape comments and gasp when you suggest it’s racist. They’re downright offended that anyone could come to that conclusion.

Naw. If anything, it will be the mothership calling the deplorables home. They have their messiah now.

You should check out Glitch. While I loved Stranger Things and Westworld, I agree that in American television, things get stretched out so thin at times.

I mean, they actually said that the more rapey way made her arc better: “More overt rape will show better character growth.” I…

I appreciate this response. For me, though, the issue with the Sansa rape is that it came after season-after-season of Sansa being the punching bag. A constant stream of abuse at the hands of men. Over and over again. It was just too much at the end for me.

Hell yeah they did. And they broke the eff out of those characters without sexualizing it. This is an excellent example. Thank you for mentioning it!

“One of my hard-and-fast rules when reading spec scripts was, the second that there was a rape that was used for shock value and that didn’t have any sort of narrative purpose.”

It’s not a “right to be offended,” it’s called criticism. People can discuss issues with objectification and not be “offended,”
