Dear Soap Fans
WARNINGS FOR RAPE.
Dear EJ Dimera fans,
You can love him. Fine. But don't pretend that sending a criminal body double in Sami's house to break up her marriage is a-okay. Especially when they laugh in merriment about the fact the double slept with her. Sorry, that's skeezy, it's not a testament of good character. Also? Bringing up her misdeeds aren't relevant to the fact he pretty much set her up for rape. AGAIN. That makes her a three time victim in under 20 years.
It wasn't cute when Luke raped Laura. Or Jack Devereaux raping Kayla. Or Lawrence Alamain to Jennifer. Or Todd Manning to Marty Saybrooke.
I'll cop to liking Sami but this isn't about that. This is about the continuous excusing of a known rapist in order to woobify him. Yeah, she hit him. Maybe she shouldn't have...but she had also been living with a body double for months that raped her (cause lookalikes aren't the same person consenting to have sex with). As she pointed out. And he did in order to break up her marriage because he was worried his kids might love someone else as a father figure, too.
Dear Robert Ford fans,
You're as bad as EJ apologists what with him having sex with Jessica's alter....more than once. That in fact makes it rape since it wasn't the person in charge's main personality saying yes. She wasn't mentally sound. Did you also forget she was Teen!Jess the first time and that in the middle, that's what brought Tess out in the first place? And that was during the time his barely-legal-but-once-not girlfriend had a fight with him and he was just angry.
Now I remember why I hate soap fandom. So much freaking much. You can't avoid the severely unhinged fans who think rape isn't rape unless it's physically forced. No matter how often stats are brought into it. Because he's hot, it's allowable.
