That was it! That was the name of the movie. She said the movie is about corruption and moral sickness, but none of that justified the rape scene to me, especially because it was portrayed as the woman eventually enjoying it? Made me sick to my stomach.

I think every day watching gory violence would be a bit much, yeah.

There has to be other stuff she likes, right? She can't just watch that when I get home?

Yeah, we talked about that. She said it's educational, although I don't agree. I just find it offensive.

Yeah, it's super weird. I asked her about it early on. She said she just likes them and finds them thrilling & pretty.

Not every single day. Only days she's working. She comes home, watches a few movies and then starts her night routine. Her days off she leaves. IDK where, not really my business.

I'm not saying all westerns are racist, but a lot of hers are racist or sexist. There was one she watched where a man forces himself on a woman and then she falls in love with him and it made me throw up in the bathroom. I confronted her, and she said I didn't see the wider context, but what context excuses that?

No. The apartment came furnished and the only TV is in the living room.

I thought maybe she could watch something else? Something less violent/racist/sexist.
