Hope he rots there. 💜

Wonderful. I hope he lives a long long long life, and never knows a moment of happiness or peace until the day he dies, alone and miserable, powerless and forgotten about, in his tiny cell.

It’s the least he deserves.

I’m curious to see how the top women get sentenced, part of me believes they are victims but the other part of me, after watching the HBO series, feels like these women knew what they were doing to help him.
I wish more people, especially men, who were part of this cult spoke out the clips I saw of their meetings were fascinating.

Some of those women [content warning]held down other female victims and forcibly burned brands into their skin. So... I'm hoping for a prison time.

Clare Bronfman got couple years more than the prosecutors were asking for so it's entirely possible they'll go hard on the other women as well.

I watched The Vow too, and I imagine the reason so many of the men didn't speak out against what was going on (if they were aware of it) was that they were completely enthralled with the misogynistic rhetoric Raniere was spouting. Watching that footage of their all-male group, Society of Protectors or something like that, was CHILLING to me, especially when they brough the women in to "show them what it was like to be a man."

the vow was shallow imo, more about them covering their asses. the CBC podcast was better and i hear seduced is better too. may he rot in hell 🎉

Seduced is 10 times better. It took Seduced two episodes to tell you what you learned in 6 episodes of The Vow.

I watched the first ep of Seduced immediately after finishing The Vow’s disappointing (honestly, kind of enraging) finale episode & honestly it just made me even more upset at how The Vow handled the story.

Mark Vicente got the hero edit & Seduced just cut right through that bullshit. He’s complicit. “Nippy” is complicit. All those guys in SOP knew what the fuck they were doing & they benefited.

[puro_desmadre]

The one important thing I learned from THE VOW is that Mark Vicente is a *shit* filmmaker. It's the one thing Keith wasn't wrong about.

Jared Leto clamoring to play him in a movie.
