Then she’d be labeled a bitch even though that is a completely accurate and understandable response.

I see that rather than admit you’re mouthing off when you don’t know shit, you’re doubling down. Do you get off on being offended or something?
Except you can rape someone without a penis.
Whataboutism - the last refuge of the intellectually bankrupt.
Thank you.
He’s doing the ol’ “no one cares about male rape so I get to not be sensitive to female rape” switcheroo, more commonly known as the “if you mention one thing in an article, you have to mention ALL things or else you don’t care about them.”
I go to see movies for entertainment and relaxation. I have never been able to reconcile that goal with what appears in too many movies. If others go for that same reason and find watching movies showing continuous over the top extreme violence entertaining, I understand how we have arrived at the society we live in…
“...there are people who don’t want to accept that this happens and it’s a terrible thing.”
Right. And is the extended scene really necessary to give that new perspective? Would the first scene not have communicated how horrible it is? At what point is it just gratuitous?
I had heard great things about Outlander so the one time I choose to tune in, it was this episode. It was seriously one of the most egregious, drawn out rape scenes I’ve ever seen. Then at the end of the episode I remember the woman is like, yelling at this man who was just victimized for hours on end. Never gave…
I don’t need to see a woman traumatized to empathize with her plight. Male characters often have very dark pasts without me having to witness every pain and humiliation. I don’t think the in our society is that we don’t understand how brutal rape is. I think our problem is that we think the rape of women is normal ente…
I guess I am confused as to how showing multiple brutal rape scenes is needed to convey pain and desire for retribution. Maybe you need one brutal abuse scene that culminates with the understanding a rape is happening without showing it, but multiple scenes inside of a 30 minute window just appears to be more rape…
Much as I can’t judge having not seen the movie, multiple brutal rape scenes in the first thirty minutes sounds like standard rape/revenge exploitation fare rather than anything “incredibly sensitive”. On that note, one of the most interesting films I saw last year was Revenge, which is a take on the rape/revenge…
I don’t want to pretend those things don’t happen, but at this point, I can’t deal with scenes like that anymore. Watching Irreversible fucked me up and although I do look at film/television as more than just entertainment, I still don’t want to watch someone be brutalized as part of my entertainment experience.
I’ve…
This. I had a similar argument with a troll during the Great Gawker Troll Attack (not sure how long ago, but a group of trolls decided to post the most violent images and extreme sex-related imagery on the comment boards here. Stuff like severed heads, bombing victims and scat porn. Not sure why they started doing it…
DJ Khaled doesn't like going down on anything, and that includes the Billboard charts.
Am I the only one who scrolls past his tweets? I really can’t bear to punish myself by reading them.
Actually, Murray refused to speak with Ramis for a few decades because of a falling out over the creative direction of Groundhog’s Day. And by “refused to speak with”, I mean “actively loathed”. See Item 4 on the attached Vulture article.
What I mean is, every single character I’ve seen Murray play have been douchy and unsympathetic. It’s like he’s got an affinity for it. Venkman and whatsisname from Groundhog Day are just two - albeit excellent - examples.
Nailed it.
