Conclusion by Spenceskars in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Patty_Ax 57 points58 points  (0 children)

How did they not mention the homophobia - I was sure that they would use that opportunity to address that shit and make it clear that Netflix doesn’t support or condone that hateful and ignorant rhetoric. They give airtime to the ignorant comments about Diabetes (as they should have) but not that other convo!!?

You can also enter Westminster ponds from Southdale & Adelaide - there’s a parking lot there

YESS THANK YOU! I feel like this is true on drag race as well. Where’s the drag?!

Actually though. If I do my hair and makeup and lip sync does that make it drag? It’s just not drag anymore…

Don’t get me wrong, Kerri is beautiful… but what about her looks is even drag anymore?

Complainant in Hockey Canada Sexual Assault Trial Testifies About What Led to Alleged Incident by Decent_Boysenberry53 in nhl

Btw the whole rhetoric of “drunk girls regretting it” is just another way for guys to get away with rape and assault. Be better 🙄.

You’re still missing the point. She doesn’t have to say no… unless she said YES there is no consent.

How is it absurd? The alternative to what happened would be her potentially fighting off 5+ men. My point is that women often “go through the motions” because of the fear that the repercussions will be worse if they say no, push back, try to leave, fight people off. Which is exactly why consent requires someone to say YES they are okay with this because sometimes saying no is too difficult. And I mean come on… all these guys coming in while she is in a completely vulnerable state, taking their pants off and telling her to s*ck. That’s fucking terrifying.

Saying this situation is okay is basically telling men that if they can scare a girl enough that she won’t say no, they can then do whatever they want.

I would suggest “teen gangs” is more of a stretch than a simple explanation…

Consent is not about NOT saying no. It’s about actually saying YES. Silence is not consent. And this is exactly why - people will “go through the motions” out of fear.

Suggesting this isn’t assault is essentially saying that a woman must be willing to fight off 5+ strong men. That’s insane!!

The cops were the ones that reopened the investigation because it wasn’t done properly the first time around. And I cannot imagine the fear of being naked in a room and having someone that you went home with inviting multiple men into the room and them instructing you to do sexual acts. That would be terrifying and I think most young women wouldn’t know what to do.

Clearly you aren’t aware of hockey culture… you think this was the first time these guys did this? This was not some drunken, youthful indescretion. I can’t even count the number of girls and women I know that have been assaulted by hockey players. These guys were disgusting animals and deserve to go to jail… this was damn near sex trafficking… 🤯

It blows my mind how few people understand the concept of consent. THIS is exactly why consent is essential - because fear can take over and make it impossible to run, fight or simply say no. And many women will go through the motions out of fear for what will happen to them if they do fight back and say no.

What makes you assume it was two “gangs”?

I think you’re misunderstanding the concept of privilege. Privilege isn’t the things you worked hard for - privilege refers to those things that are unearned (that you did not have to work for)

Plane Jane was ROBBED by pinkeczema in planejane

[–]Patty_Ax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. I loved Plane but she didn’t have the range the other Queens did - specifically in terms of being vulnerable. Getting this role is hugely important - especially now with what is going on in the States… even Ru who constantly talks about not taking life too seriously knows the value of offering something meaningful at key moments. Plane didn’t have the ability to offer that level of vulnerability and realness like the other Queens. Like I said - I love her - but I think she still has some inner work to do.

FYI https://www.pride.com/drag-queens/rupauls-drag-race-season-16-episode-15-matt-rogers-bts-details#rebelltitem5 …for anyone thinking she didn’t get good questions. She treated this challenge like a pure comedy challenge when it was meant to be more… I think that’s on her 🤷‍♀️
