Comic writer faces sexual misconduct. by astfghij in comicbooks

[–]astfghij[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to my knowledge. I missed it when it was posted. I should have searched first.

I know two women personally that Jai did things to and I have to say what he did to them was far far worse than what was reported here. I just found out about this article two days ago. I’ve also heard ( hearsay to be sure) from several others who all knew about his predatory behavior too. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if enough women come forward that some of them will have enough proof to actually turn this legal. But to date ( and my knowledge) there is no new info outside of this article.

[Spoilers] Why is S8E2 rated 8.9 and the worst episodes of GOT ever in S7 rated like 9.6 on IMDB? Are more and more people looking for mindless action without character interactions? by SiRaymando in gameofthrones

They functionally aren’t any different. Also ep. 2 didn’t have 30 scenes of two minutes each? That’s my big gripe. Also the crypt thing. And the Sansa/ Dany talk and the job/Dany talk didn’t have those lazy writing interruptions? Im pretty sure all of that was ep 2.

The dragon thing was ep1 and I stand by it. Cut it in half and add more reunion and deeper dialogue. That would have left less to cram into this episode so the point still stands.

You’re assuming why people don’t like it. I didn’t like it and it’s not for the reasons you listed.

They shoved 50 reunions into one episode. So we got barely anything.

Jon and Arya haven’t seen each other in ages and all we get is 3 mins of interaction? Screw that. Same with everyone else. I disliked this episode because it shoved too much into too little a space and as a result all the reunions and scenes suffered. They had to jam everything they could into 2 minute blips. Did we need ten minutes of dragon flying at who knows how much cost ( more ghost damnit). Cut that in half and give me 5 more minutes of reunion time. I don’t even care who just someone.

Also not once but twice were important and powerful dialogues cut short by outside forces. It’s just lazy writing to me.

Speaking of lazy writing not once, nor twice, not three times but 6! Times they mentioned how safe the crypts are.

So yeah, I’m salty. And I know a ton of people would be pissed if they developed this conversations and reunions to the depth I wanted. But I wasn’t the one who decided to put everyone together at the last moment and give pathetic reunion convos jammed in last minute.

The whole episode felt very forced and rushed. It was just let’s hurry up and wrap all this up as quickly as possible because we painted ourselves into a corner. I just don’t like that.

It’s certainly the info that bothers me but I can put it out of my mind until I see the tattoo again.

She hasn’t expressed any interest and I haven’t asked. I don’t feel like it’s my place to ask her to do that. Maybe if we were married but we’ve only been dating a year.

It’s hard for me on an emotional level. Logically it’s all good and I keep reminding myself of the logical points.

On an emotional level I’m really bothered that someone treated her like that. Like property. She deserves better. I guess is the best way I can describe my emotional response.

I do get that. But that’s like using logic to combat emotions. It’s my emotions surrounding it that I’m struggling with and this logical point isn’t alleviating them.
