I really feel like the true culprit is none of the suggested theories and that it's all hidden in the information somewhere and that watching it over with a fine tooth comb will bring it to light.

...Man, this kinda thing is not good for me.

I inadvertently revealed his identity to a pair of 25 yo hot blonde twins I was talking with. After they got a photo, he and his two lady friends immediately left, though they had closed out already. I left the twins for a few minutes bc I didn't want to be around if they asked for the photo since I would be the rear end in a top hat who bummed a cigarette then set these dunk girls on him, and now both groups are gone. Rip everything.

I just found out that in Kevin James new show they killed his wife off in the second so that they could add a role for Leah Remini. I also found out that hulu is releasing a show about Josh Hutchinson traveling through time to prevent Keith David from getting herpes.

another thing about last night's Mr Robot, the needle drops were on fire, the whole opening is set to INXS's "New Sensation" and there's an absolutely amazing use of the Barenaked Ladies' "One Week"

Neither of those were as good as the use of Listen To Your Heart

I literally guessed the season one finale "twist" as a joke when someone else asked me what I thought the twist was, after hearing nonstop, annoying praise of it, by thinking "what would be the stupidest, most obvious, and most cliche possible twist the show could go for?"

I said it as a literal joke because I didn't think TGP could be so intellectually insulting as to go with a twist that terrible but nope, it did. Exactly.

You know a shows twist is good when the shows creator has to do a bunch of post season metanarrative interviews explaining the twist's greater effects because it throws literally everything that happened before into doubt or disarray.

I just binged through Season 3 of iZombie and even though I enjoyed it really feels like halfway through all the rest of the scripts got lost in a shredder so they started fresh with a whole new set of ideas. So many plotlines get dumped at the midpoint with no follow up like Major and Liv's relationship, the stolen cure, Blaine's Dad's new business ideas and more besides. It's just not the solid storytelling I've come to associated with the show.

Still worth it for the gang playing D&D though.

It's not about levels. Exerting your position of power to satisfy your own wrongs by making someone else feel uncomfortable and traumatised is wrong no matter what act you do.

Nobody's disputing that it was wrong. Saying there are no levels of wrongness or punishment in society is obviously untrue though, and shows how he's getting swept along in an overdue current (admittedly because his admission and apology is also overdue).

Saying this minimises the experience of victims and devalues the extent of the emotional damage. It tells victims that they shouldn't feel bad about it because 'at least it wasn't X'. We can always think of a situation worse than the one we went through and this causes long-term problems because it prevents victims from processing their experiences and leaves them with pent-up trauma. The only way we're going to confront the endemic issue of sexual harrassment in society is by accepting that the extent of the act itself does not correlate with the negative impact it has on the victim because all acts are based on this same underlying power exchange.
