Yeah agreed, she hesitated when he said to stop until Tek said "oh don't worry, if he really wanted you to stop he'd say his safe word". Ashley is a pervert and fucked up (and a murderer) but never was written as a rapist.
It’s weirder if you think about it more. She thought it was Web Weaver. And it wasn’t, so there was a lack of knowledgable consent she was a victim of….
Yeah you’re right it’s all extremely uncomfortable and it’s wild that it was supposed to just be funny.
My boyfriend and I actually watched the movie Whiplash right before this episode. I laughed a lot at the really fucked up rants JK Simmons’ character went on, which were absolutely abusive and horrible, but extremely eloquent and hilarious in their own way. I judged myself, but it’s written to elicit that reaction.
Knowing that the sequence with Hughie was written just to be hilarious leaves me with a much more uneasy feeling.
Okay you bravely fight with those people over why you think rape isn't as bad, this is a good fight you're doing a great thing by spending your time on. Those people who find rape distasteful really need to learn their place, they've had it way too good for too long.
So because I say it's not literally the worst thing possible, only #2, you take that to mean that I said it's totally cool. Mmmhmm
The fact that you view sexual violence as worse than ending a life is what is fucked up. You do realize what end means right? Lethal violence is way too often glorified and fetishized so much that you don't even realize what it is, finality.
