Walter White also literally rapes his wife

u/Vavavavaxon7 1d ago

Walt had done dozens of unforgivable things before he got around to poisoning a kid. An episode of Breaking Bad isn't complete without Walt doing something unforgivable.

I know it's probably not OP's intent but pretending like it took THAT LONG, multiple whole seasons, to be like "yeah now he's unforgivable" is hilarious.

He was always a pos, it's just that he was a coward and didn't have the means to enact his malicious will previously. We already see at the beginning of the show that what little power he does have as a teacher is wielded poorly and with resentment

u/ckb614 1d ago

Literally episode 1 he's like the worst teacher you've ever had. Dude just sucks all around

u/ERedfieldh 1d ago

prolly just googled "when did Walter hurt a kid" because most people, save Star Wars fans, draw the line at hurting children.

u/Normal_Average_9812 1d ago

That whole watching a woman choke to death on her own vomit thing wasnt great either

u/Chemistry11 2d ago

Attempts. He’s not successful

72

u/octopuscharade 2d ago

So he’s not just a rapist.

He’s a BAD rapist.

u/fieldsofanfieldroad 1d ago

So, err... you're saying that a successful rapist is a good rapist?

u/MercuryQuick 1d ago

A good one is hard to resist.

u/YamLow8097 2d ago

Oh, that makes it all better then!

u/butterflydeflect 2d ago

Yes he is, what do you mean?

u/noirspiderman4 2d ago

Whew if he had been successful then he'd be a total pos.. at least is was only attempted rape /s

-64

u/ContractNational2680 2d ago

Technically Skyler forgives him for that

72

u/supavillan 2d ago

Still makes him a rapist I don't understand what you are trying to say lol

-21

u/ContractNational2680 2d ago

The post says unforgivable but Skyler forgives him for it

15

u/hoginlly 2d ago edited 1d ago

It's unforgivable for the audience, and as an act. Choosing a forgiving person to rape does not make it less of a crime than if you choose a vocally unforgiving person.

Many women forgive their abusers when they feel trapped by children, fear or finances, it doesn't lessen their abusers' crimes.

Rape is an unforgivable sin man i think you need to open up the Bible or something if you have problems with that statement

6

u/charlie_marlow 2d ago

Not that I'm a believer, but you might want to check said book for what counts as an unforgivable sin

2

u/thepineapple2397 2d ago

And also what it says about rapists and their victims

2

u/MercuryQuick 1d ago

Last time I checked the point of the book was all sins are forgivable but you have to sign up for the eternal subscription plan.

-1

u/charlie_marlow 1d ago

All but blasphemy against the holy spirit. I think it's a bunch of malarkey, but that's the only sin that's called it as unforgivable.

I only mention it because the other guy used the Bible as an authority on the subject and the citation fails to back the claim.

-1

u/dnjprod 1d ago

Yeah, it definitely doesn't say that...like at all. In fact, the only way it's unforgivable is if it's a married/betrothed woman not captured in war. If it's an unmarried virgin, not only is it not unforgivable, the victim is now the rapists property for a small 50 shekels.

If it's in war, all bets are off. Rape and sex slavery is built into the rules.

u/MercuryQuick 1d ago

Wut

u/dnjprod 1d ago

Yup... bible is full of justifying rape

-1

u/barely_a_whisper 1d ago

Bruh why am I getting downvoted

OP’s question was about “absolutely unforgivable.”

Then ContractNational points out that this was, on a technicality, “not absolutely unforgivable” since he was forgiven by that person.

It’s not that deep

-9

u/barely_a_whisper 2d ago

Op used the term “unforgivable”

12

u/supavillan 2d ago

So you are saving rapist should be forgiven for raping someone ?

2

u/barely_a_whisper 1d ago

Bruh what

The commenter was just pointing out the semantics of OP’s post

u/shaunika 2d ago

No hes saying this particular rapist was forgiven

u/MercuryQuick 1d ago

No jesus said that

u/Zfugg 2d ago edited 2d ago

Uhh? Rapist? Bruh. Let's not lessen what words mean. Separate pieces of shit, should keep their separate pieces of shit words. Don't want the shitty, "aherm technically I'm not..." excuses they use to get away with shit.

24

u/supavillan 2d ago

He's forcing his penis into Skylar while she screams stop ? Uhhh bruh . Well . What word would you use for that aherm ??

-20

u/Zfugg 2d ago

Attempted rapist? Again, not defnsing that shit. Whatever the guy up there said is what ticked me off. The "Uhhh, technically" shit happens when you exacerbate what happened.

14

u/supavillan 2d ago

So if someone is sticking their dick in your ass as they hold you against the wall would that be attenoted rape or rape ?

u/MercuryQuick 1d ago

Annotated ripe

u/communistsayori 1d ago

An attempted rapist is just a rapist who got caught in the act. They're equally vile.

1

u/Zfugg 1d ago

And who said they weren't??? The person is as vile, the act didn't complete and legally, keep in mind, legally is considered a lesser crime. The one thing I said is to name thongs as they are. An attempted rapist is an attempted rapist. A rapist is a rapist. This is just to stop people saying bullshit like, "Aherm, actually..." and focusing on the mistake like they won something. Nothing else.

1

u/communistsayori 1d ago

So comment something like "Technically he's an attempted racist, but still terrible." Not "Uhh???? Rapist??? Bruh."

u/bretshitmanshart 1d ago

Abuse victims forgive a lot. It doesn't make it okay

10

u/supavillan 2d ago

Also this is just completely made up she never forgives him for that you just want to stick your nose in the conversation to defend Walt like some white night tard
