Cuz sexually harassing and/or assaulting women in your class disqualifies you?

Why, are you a licensed professional for this sort of work-- OH I GET IT, you mean you want to use this opportunity to creep on women in already vulnerable situations, ha ha fresh take *chefs kiss*

I’m demisexual, which is on the asexual spectrum, so I’m speaking from pretty much an outsider’s POV here. But - correct me if I’m wrong, allosexuals - if TV and movies really cared about showing people having sex “for human realism,” they’d show the awkward sweatiness, position-changing, weird fart noises that occur…

I don’t disagree with you really in principle. Sex scenes are rarely plot or character sequences.

I’m no prude, I think of myself as sex-positive femmo, but in terms of storytelling, the depiction of the sexual act is almost always superfluous (I’m going to start using the word “gratuitous” further down the post, but…

When I read this article, I immediately thought of that disturbingly gross Franco story (moving a genital protector from a woman’s labia before what was supposed to be pseudo-oral sex, for those who didn’t know), completely forgetting he was on this show.  It seems like an outstandingly good idea, particularly when…

Your snark might be valid in, like, thirty years - given there will still be people at the time and that Trump won’t plunge everyone back into 19th century when it comes to sexuality.

I forgot this was the internet so every time I write anything ever I should front-load my comment with seven apologetic paragraphs contextualizing my point of view so that people who wanted to lazily do a bad faith reading of what I had to say would have to work a little at it. Let’s pretend I already did the…

I don’t watch that show, but I read the same thing. To be clear: I’m not against sex scenes, full stop. I think there’s a place for them. I can think off the top of my head of two movies where the presence of a sex scene was entirely motivated by tracking the character’s emotional states (A History of Violence, where…

I’m sure that HBO wants us to view this news as a sign of how far they have progressed since #MeToo but it just shows us how far behind the industry was before. 

I hate to be this person but the sex scenes in the Outlander wedding episode were really well done. But they were pertinent to the plot and they were filmed from a female point of view and there is a very literal shot of the female gaze in action. So I might be biased.

99 out of a hundred sex scenes are complete and utter wastes of story space that serve only to fill time and prevent restless masturbators from changing the channel, so I’m glad there’s at least some protection for the actors who have to take part in them. Hopefully this becomes a thing all over TV, where it seems…

This is a great idea, but it sit somewhat awkwardly with the reality that the “HBO CEO of Tits” gimmick doesn’t seem to be far off from the truth. I’ve written this before, but I’ve always thought most sex scenes were superfluous, and after reading about Salma Hayek’s experience of making her Frida Kahlo movie (where…

Not that surprised it now exists because of a James Franco show.

Seems like a good idea.  Kind of surprised the role didn’t already exist. 

The first page has the film “The River,” one of the best documentaries ever made! I have to see if there are any more treasures!

This really is an amazing resource! Welp, there goes my break time, thanks :D

To be fair it’s just a single issue in, but she’s a bright, happy sort of badass because most of what we see is her doing science and hanging out with people she loves.

Yeah, but as much as that might annoy you individually, it’s a strength for this run. It’s going to appeal to a lot of people who’ve only heard of Shuri because of the film, which is one of the things that 616 has really struggled with and hasn’t capitalized on at all. Between Shuri, Luna, and Riri there’s a wave of…

This one was the nicest surprise from my last trip to the comics shop. The kind of perfect symbiosis of art and writing that you always hope for in a book but rarely get.
