Anyone who disagrees with you should see “Hello I Must Be Going” and “I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore”.

Melanie Lynskey for my money might be the best actress alive & I would watch the show just for her. But Christina Ricci & Juliette Lewis are also perfectly cast & just electric together. This show is justifying the hype I think.

Longshot but I think Adam might be an illegitimate son of Coach Martinez. He and Travis did not seem on good terms when they left for nationals (he called him and asshole to Nat) and his wife didn’t want kiss him before he left. At first I thought he and Coach Ben might've been sleeping together but the bit about

Given they put so much emphasis on who could have possibly access Travis’s bank accounts, blackmailer / garage hunk tempter is going to end up being… is Travis’s kid brother named Adam? It’s Adam. He’d have no trouble. And if he’s a secret survivor, he’ll want his cut.

Yeah I appreciated how they didn’t make Ben obviously gay, nor did they have to work in a big reveal.  Nat just was able to intuit it.  It felt very natural, and in a few lines of dialogue, we get this magnificent bond between two characters who really haven’t interacted much before.

Jackie forcing Shauna to spill her pregnancy was definitely bad. Understandable, though, since she learned the truth about her and Jeff and probably isn’t ever going to forgive Shauna for that.

So now with the coach’s reveal, does this high school soccer team have a disproportionate number of gay members on it? All for it but maybe not the most realistic, but who cares.

she did acknowledge that her character appears to be better off than most Twi’leks shown in Star Wars.”

They will never believe anything they do puts them in the wrong.

I’ve spent more time than I like to admit wondering if my rapists even consider themselves rapists. I imagine they live perfectly chill lives without the thought entering their heads.

I wonder if it just makes people feel safer if they think, oh, well, she put herself in that situation but I’m okay because I wouldn’t! The world makes sense to them and they can sleep at night. Doesn’t matter that you can’t outsmart getting attacked ever in your life. I followed the rules and it didn’t save me.

This sounds really victim blaming which is why you had to preface it that way. Women! All famous men rape. Don’t forget most sexual assaults are not committed by strangers, but people you know so just never let yourselves be alone with men. You should all know better.

*Proceeds to victim blame profusely*

Your whole post is victim blaming and then in the replies myself and others have made to you telling you that you are indeed victim blaming you dispute and then double down on the victim blaming . 

I’ve gone to celebrities’ hotel rooms and done substances and not been raped because the celebrities who invited me to their rooms weren’t rapists.

You act like predators are not choosing their victims. But they are. You are right about women throwing themselves at celebrities. That’s what makes these stories so awful! He probably had a great many willing partners to choose from but instead he chose to rape. And the predator was careful about choosing his prey.

“The real world” where people are assaulted and need to take some accountability.

asking for trouble

Fine, do you want a handclap or a pat on the back? You’re right. If you don’t know someone well you shouldn’t go to their house after a date, especially the first few dates, if you don’t want to have sex. It doesn’t matter if they have amazing books, shiny beads, or candy. Now we all the fucking know that. Oh, men

This is an incredibly stupid and useless take.
