You ever wish you could just? Unread something? That's me, with the last couple lines of that review. I want so badly to just delete it from my fucking brain.
I agree 😕 I also don’t like how they keep rooting for Nicki, i feel like they bring her up every week even when there’s no big news on her. I find myself skipping through Hot Topics lately
She just seems like a miserable person in general. I swear I don’t think I’ve seen o e picture where she looks like she is even a little bit happy. Also in general I’m so tired of rape being used as a plot point and just rape scenes in general. Can’t imagine what it’s like to direct or act out one
I think recently film/tv productions have gotten better about hiring intimacy coordinators for rape scenes, so hopefully that happened in this production? I agree with you about rape being used as a plot point, in almost every single instance it shows me that the writer is lazy and not very good.
I am so. Fucking. Tired. Of sexual violence being used as some ~I am a serious artist~ plot forwarding bullshit. If the story does ACTUALLY involve SA, don’t fucking show it graphically. Just don’t. Be fucking creative like an actual artist and figure out a way to show it without showing every detail in a clearly voyeuristic way. I remember when Birds of Prey came out my bf said something about how uncomfortable the scene where Black Mask forces the lady to strip was to watch, and I was like...yes, because it was actually supposed to be, rather than being some gross fucking wank fantasy for men to enjoy. Because unlike 99.9% of shit out there, it wasn’t filmed with the rapey male gaze.
Sorry if this is too aggressive, I just agree so vehemently with you. It’s a topic that truly steams my bunz
