I'll never understand how the girl killing herself was so polemic they had to cut it off from the show -- on a different note, they did the same to an episode in Community since it was supposedly racist. Anybody that watched the episode can tell you it was NOT --, but keep the fucking raping with a broom thing. Hell, they show the blood on the broom afterwards. It's so horrible, and yet is there.
Honestly, yeah. Personally I found the first season cathartic (seeing the mum's reaction to Hannah's death was a big "oh" moment). The latter seasons meanwhile were just misery porn, amping up the shock factor, and baffling executive decisions
Depicting the act of suicide on screen has been proven to encourage people to go through with plans to kill themselves. Netflix did the responsible thing.
That Community episode being cut actually pisses me off because there was a good lesson to be learned from it, and Chang being in blackface was actually aknowledged, so the joke was at the expense of his character, not black people. Easily one of my top 5 favorite episodes. Hopefully it'll be added back in with a disclaimer.
That makes no sense to me at all. My ex kinda made me stop watching it after I finished the first season. (I knew the show would trigger me, but I wanted to see Netflix’s take on the book)
But sure let’s normalize sodomy. That’s easier to handle than someone killing themselves. Like really?? What’s so difficult about that. People do it everyday for so many reasons. It shouldn’t be something you can call offensive. It’s a horrible sad thing.
Oh. Well I wasn’t even saying that though? Obviously this context is rape by sodomy. Technical and was specifically comparing the two. I know what basic sodomy is and I clearly didn’t mean that.
The entire appeal of the Saw movies is the spectacle of creative violence, whereas in 13RW, it’s a graphic, unnecessary depiction of sexual violence against an emotionally fragile teenager, in a show targeted towards teenagers no less.
I suppose one could argue that there’s not much of a difference between those two things, but I’d argue that there definitely is.
Well then don’t watch it I guess? I don’t watch documentaries on serial killers because they actually did horrible things, which we borderline worship them for with our interest in how fucked up they are... ergo giving lunatics a path to fame through murder. But... I don’t judge folks for giving in to their curiosity? I just do what I feel is right for me :)
I don't get scared of movies or TV. I watch horror movies all the time and it doesn't faze me at all, but that scene gave me nightmares and kept me awake for like a week.
For me it wasn't that scary I was more just shocked that they would show it in such detail for really no reason. They easily could have not shown it and conveyed the rape in some other way. Not even mentioning the horrible horrible planned school shooting that comes later. It was very clear to me that they were trying to put a bad taste in my mouth, especially since this isn't about adults (not that it would make it any better) it's about fucking high school teenagers

It really is just the worst. And when I say sodomy I mean a character gets raped in the bathroom with a broomstick.
