Members ChitHappens Posted February 18, 2016 Members Share Posted February 18, 2016 Me too and not very softly! I couldn't go to bed until 2 hours after it went off. I was a bit emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted February 21, 2016 Members Share Posted February 21, 2016 Consent is not a grey area. If you don't feel confident that you have secured a yes from someone, that means consent was not clearly given. This is how rape culture persists, and victim blaming ensues.

Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted February 21, 2016 Members Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yeah uh huh because God forbid people take some modicum of responsibility for their choices in any situation no matter how horrific.... They have the preview for the upcoming episode and of course it's crazy good. I'll be shocked if they don't give the kid playing Taylor an award. Same for the actress playing the mother.

Members cassadine1991 Posted February 22, 2016 Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 I agree Connor Jessup and Lili Taylor deserve awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 23, 2016 Members Share Posted February 23, 2016 Taylor is suffering from PTSD and was being threatened by a boy who may very well have been a part of his rape. His case is not so cut and dried, but good luck applying bootstrap logic to a sexual abuse victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted February 25, 2016 Members Share Posted February 25, 2016 I loved how they intertwined real interviews into this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted February 25, 2016 Members Share Posted February 25, 2016 I found it kinda jarring and distracting to be honest. I get what they were going for and a couple of them (especially the teacher and mother were very moving). Overall a good episode but not as strong as last weeks. Glad Eric finally confronted Kevin about "his boys" beating up Taylor and now Wes being dead. Still doesn't absolve Eric if his role but at least he sees how wrong it is.

Members Skin Posted February 25, 2016 Members Share Posted February 25, 2016 This ignorance belies the issue, and the point obviously escapes you. I guess it doesn't bother you that we live in a culture where after a person is sexually assaulted the first thing out of an investigators mouth are the following: What were you wearing? What were you doing? Did you do anything wrong? Were you on drugs? Were you drinking? Do any of these factors excuse the assault? Does any of this change the fact that someone's body was used as a playground for someone else's benefit with no say so from the other person? Why is it so much more important to you to dismiss and discredit the victim rather than acknowledge that this happened without his consent?

Members ChitHappens Posted February 25, 2016 Members Share Posted February 25, 2016 Agreed! It did't work for me either. I would have embraced those stories more after the eppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted February 27, 2016 Members Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is it bad that I don't care that the kid was shot? I have all the sympathy in the world for Taylor, but this narrative of whitewashing the kid that beat him up is obnoxious. I still hate Leslie so much, and I want her to die.

Members slick jones Posted February 27, 2016 Members Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yeah, Wes was a jackass, and I don't feel bad about his tv death at all. I think a lot of people are going to have "issues" once that hacker helps out, and I can't wait!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted March 4, 2016 Members Share Posted March 4, 2016 So, they expect Leslie to resign, and she turns around and ends up in charge of the whole kit and kaboodle. She is like Freakin' Teflon, No matter what happens, nothing sticks. I can't wait for the finale to see what ends up happening to her. Eric's mother is a c___ with a capital C. Some people were not meant to be parents. Public School Principal got screwed, and how typical was it that the school had so little money, they had no help... While Kevin's mother(RK) has grown, changed, her husband continues to be a manipulator... Coach's daughter is gonna be collateral damage as the chit hits the fan...
