MiddleOne posted:Luckily it's nothing like Skins to which I say thank god as someone who didn't get off that tire-fire until the beginning of season 4. Hey the first 2 seasons of Skins were fantastic television and season 3 wasn't great but the Emily/Naomi storyline is a huge UK cultural milestone. Just don't talk about the bit where Freddie gets beaten to death with a baseball bat by the therapist treating his girlfriend while trying to hypnotise her into sexual submission.

As is my normal practice I'm getting together Youtube clips for the TVIV Poll results and I just saw the final scene of Dirk Gently and devoid of all context what the gently caress did I just see

When you stop to think about it 2018 is going to be off the chain for television. We've got this, we've got that JK Simmons genre show, Westworld S2, American Crime Story S2, Jessica Jones S2, True Detective S3, Handmaids Tale S2 and Legion S2 and they all have the potential to be mind blowing.

Spatula City posted:So I hadn't bothered to watch any Black Mirror except San Junipero (heard romance and 80's pop figured heavily, must-watch), but recently I watched USS Callister and Hang the DJ. Preferred the former to the latter, but both were fun riffs on the same sort of idea, and more to the point, were less grim than the hype led me to believe about Black Mirror. Which other Black Mirror episodes aren't super-grim? I just ain't in the mood for really dark twists or characters put through the ringer. okay, USS Callister actually gets pretty horrifying, but it's buoyed by being a rip into the nice guy trope, with a bona fide happy ending, and a tremendous performance by Cristin Milioti (who really deserves her own show, she's got loads of charisma to spare). Shut Up and Dance starts off grim but the ending pulls it together

Escobarbarian posted:e: realistically though it’s not like abuse-level, just another dude who’s a horny idiot and can’t understand basic signals I feel like saying this is minimising the impact of his actions. No it's not an aggressive rape but it was non-consensual coercion that still had long-term traumatic impact on the victim. Writing it off as 'just a horny dummy' is implying that it's ok that he didn't establish full consent first or that he kept going after she'd made it clear she wasn't interested.

Mu Zeta posted:It looks pretty bad on Aziz's part but it's hard for me to believe that a 90 pound twig like him could physically force anyone to do anything. In the article she says he asked several times for a blowjob and she eventually did it. The gently caress? Why not tell him to go gently caress himself. Sexual coercion is a thing. The power dynamic between the two of them was so weighted in Ansari's favour based on his age and his celebrity status that for her to reject him that strongly would require a huge amount of confidence and it's not fair to blame her for not having that. It's like when Terry Crews had his dick grabbed by a producer. You're also ignoring the fact that it doesn't matter that she didn't tell him to gently caress himself. She didn't say yes and that's what consent is. Saying that it's her fault for not rejecting him strongly is victim blaming and is the exact reason it's taken so long for the Me Too movement to happen.

Wandle Cax posted:It's not victim blaming to say that a woman needs to know to say no very clearly or just leave the place entirely when she is uncomfortable. It's a sad state of affairs that woman should have that responsibility to protect themselves, and Aziz obviously acted like a massive creep in this situation. But it could have been avoided on her part and reducing talk like that to victim blaming is sending the wrong message. Men are creeps and women need to know that and be strong enough to resist that without falling into this victim mentality. I think there's also danger in conflating a more avoidable situation and more horrific abuse all into the "sexual assault" label which risks trivialising the more serious cases. Yes and maybe she shouldn't have worn such a short skirt and she probably shouldn't have been drunk either. What you've just said is literally victim blaming. It is not anyone's responsibility to not be assaulted. It's everyone's responsibility to not assault people.

Escobarbarian posted:Yeah, I phrased that pretty poorly. I didn’t mean for that to come off like it lessens what happened in any way for me. Just that I don’t see it as “abuse” in the sense it’s been spoken of recently. Doesn’t mean it isn’t hosed-up and creepy that a 34 year old man who professes to understand so much could be so pushy, and so wilfully ignorant (or blind, if you wanna wish for the best, but come on) to signals. The “doesn’t seem like you hate me” line is the one thing that makes me question this but without knowing the context in which he was said it’s entirely possible he was trying to be self-deprecating. I figured that was where you were coming from, I just felt the language you used wasn't great. And that's the real problem right now with having this conversation. Words like abuse and assault are big red flag words and as soon as they're said it raises everyone's tensions. We really need words that separate this kind of act from the violent and aggressive kind of sexual assault.

Mu Zeta posted:I said Aziz is the one that has to apologize. That said, does she bare absolutely no responsibility for her own actions regarding the blowjob? Overall it's good that people are speaking out and getting the story out there but there's room for nuance too. What power dynamic does he have over her. It's not like Harvey Weinstein promising someone a career for sleeping with him. The thing is it's not like she didn't want to have sex with him, she just didn't want to have sex with him then. So he has the power of deciding whether a second date happens or not and that means she would feel like just being 'gently caress you, I'm out' takes that off the table. When you combine that with the age/status it makes it extra difficult to express boundaries. Obviously at some point in the interaction that switch gets flipped and she never wants to see him again but it's not like that would happen the instant he made his first advance because it's a slow erosion over time. Wandle Cax posted:I don't mean to say it's her fault, and obviously people have a responsibility not to assault people, and obviously Aziz is 100% in the wrong. But if a woman in a situation like this leaves or pushes back more firmly maybe clueless guys like Aziz might start to get a hint that what they are doing is wrong Not every woman feels capable of having that strength in the moment and it's not her fault for feeling that way. I just want to clarify my position that I've got nothing against either of you for what you're saying. I think it's emblematic of a wider societal issue that we're teaching boys and girls that certain behaviours are ok when they're really not which means we end up with otherwise decent people doing things that are harmful without realising and accepting other people doing things that are harmful.

Escobarbarian posted:This is what it comes down to. It’s so, so easy to say “oh why didn’t you just leave” but in that situation it’s far far more complex than that. Yeah absolutely. There was a line someone used earlier which was 'Men are creeps' but that viewpoint reduces things down too much and basically takes away all forms of agency. Men don't have to be creeps, it's not like having a dick automatically takes away all your critical thinking. And we also need to acknowledge that women are capabale of sexual assault and rape and that's just as awful as when men do it.

PriorMarcus posted:I'm not sure what the unfortunately means here. What more would you like to see happen to him? How much more discussion is there to be had about this incident? Ignoring the larger discussions about attitudes toward sex. I think the problem is that so far he hasn't made any attempts to revisit the event from the girl's perspective or to review his attitudes towards sex and consent which indicates he's just keep doing the same thing he did to her.
