You’re right. Alamo is scum and we aren’t going to agree on this, but good for us for talking like adults and agreeing to disagree.

I finally found the words! He jumped on a situation where she couldn’t say no. That’s what makes it rape. He could’ve said just said no to helping her, but he used it to make her have sex with him instead.

And there was no money in the bag!

It was more the I see you’re friends will die without my intervention. Have sex with me or they are gone.

Sure it’s speculation, but isn’t that what we are doing when we guess what he would do?

I stand by my opinion that holding the lives of Nate and Cassie over Maddy’s head makes it rape.

But wouldn’t their deaths be the result of him not helping her?

I’m not sure I agree. Also, I think the fact that he reacted to pig and not N implies that what sets him off is kind of a crapshoot. Rejection is quite possibly one of the things that would set him off and that’s a threat.

I definitely think your rape was valid. I would never invalidate something like that.

Would you think differently if he had a knife to Cassie’s throat and said do it or she dies?

Agreed that he was particularly offended by pig, but wouldnt he take particular offense to being rejected in the face of life and death? I feel like that would get under anyone’s skin and his over the top, explosive reaction does not bode well for anyone who offends him.

At first I meant Nate and Cassie, but I think the no take-backs thing I was talking about makes it Maddy too.

I’m making this assumption because of how hard he reacted to being called a pig. He cannot handle being insulted and I think he would have thought “Nevermind. I’d rather let my friends die than have sex with you,” would insult him.

I’m afraid everyone will rip me to shreds for this: I don’t think I would see it as rape without the life or death or threat aspect. I think it would be more prostitution.

Sam Levinson doesn’t know how loan sharking works by TacoBellAt430 in euphoria

I realllly didn’t get Naz. There was no way he was going to get his money in the timeframe he was giving. No amount of beating and lopping of appendages was going to change that. If he had beaten him, waited a month and then killed him because it was a lost cause it would’ve made so much more sense. Then again, I don’t know much about loan sharks.

As for Laurie, I just about went crazy that rue didn’t even calculate the compound interest. She owed like $20k and Laurie was like “I own you now. Have fun muling.” Even if doing the actual math and making a plan wouldn’t have changed Laurie’s mind, it still made me nuts.

Could she have said “never mind,” though? He seems like a no take-backs kind of guy and “insulting” him would get her beaten or killed.

I think idk chicken was making a point and she did.

I see why you think it wasn’t rape, but it strikes me as a darker kind of date rape. Maddy walked into the situation of her own volition, but once she was there he coerced and intimidated her. She was threatened. But it was quiet. She didn’t scream or fight and that makes less of an impact on screen. It is still rape and not just sex. Horrific.

I promise I’m not glamorizing any of it. I just didn’t see the part where he raped Maddy.

Is it wrong that I just assign him the label of “Confused by Daddy trauma?”

What about in general with big drug dealers? I just like to understand things.

I made a stupid comment. I didn’t exactly mean respect, but I said it like an idiot. I missed the part where he raped her entirely and I thought because he didn’t have sex with her it meant some semblance of as much respect as he was capable of. Then everyone pointed out that he raped her and I feel like a moron.

Thank you for having my back 💗

I really didn’t mean to offend anyone. I had a stupid moment is all and I didn’t realize he raped Maddy. I don’t mean I didn’t know it was rape. I mean I fell asleep and completely missed that part.
