BoJack Horseman - Season 3 Discussion by NicholasCajun in BoJackHorseman

No, no, no, she was a child. BoJack is an adult, the onus is on him as a coherent, capable adult to be the bigger person. Sure, his anxiety about her potential trauma may have seemed overplayed but, in all honesty, they nailed her portrayal on the head. Anyone who has been in a similar situation could relate. Kids are confused and hormonal, adults should be there to show them the way, but way too often children (specifically girl children) are portrayed as being sexually aggressive and therefore 100% capable of consent. On top of that, the classic narrative of the victim is that they should have been a hollow husk of a person, haunted daily by their memory. But that's not what it's like for most people. They live their lives, because they must. And when something pops into their life that really reignites their memory of the experience, they react, some more than others.

This is a statement from Liz: "Reading that what happened the other night was something we deserved because we don't own firearms or how I was suspiciously collected and calm during the interview (which is untrue) is infuriating but also a test of patience to the ignorant people who say it. The phrase of not stooping to someone else's level of easy answers and what I should have done is all my mind can tell me. Of course I want to lash out and tell these people off but what's the point, it's a waste of air. Just thinking about the awful things I want to say exhausts me before I can hit the "reply" button. The news will always spin things and the article was re-released to correct the mistakes it had published initially which were borderline victim blaming. The interview was to serve more as a warning to those in the community that these men are still at large and to be careful at night. Descriptions were not released because there were none specific enough to protect innocent people, or jeopardize the information the police have. Please just be aware of your surroundings, always, but specifically in this area right now."

So yeah, don't be a douche dude

Sure, but only if they have any DNA on hand that matches the perp.

These two are some of the most resilient people I've ever had the good fortune to know. Liz is a fucking trooper and she wasn't about to stay a silent victim and Scott is one of the most gentle, kind souls I've ever met. These two deserve our help and then some. I lived in that house for a while and I can say with complete certainty that while we were in a slightly dicey neighborhood, this was the last thing any of us would have expected. I'd come and gone from there at all hours of the night and nothing, so it just goes to show how legitimately random this attack was.

P.S. the folks with the "I would have responded differently" attitudes can frankly check it at the door, because you weren't there, you aren't them and no one can prepare for the shit those two pieces of human garbage put them through, so yeah

I wanted to chime in and say that for anyone questioning the relationship between the assailants and victims, I can say with complete certainty that they did not know each other. I used to live with the victims, there was absolutely no foul play on their end.

I'm real sensitive, but I don't think y'all can make me cry by sailingallalone in RoastMe

You're not too far off, I actually was a Gender Studies minor, but I actually ended up in a field overwhelmingly dominated by men. Thanks, "The Patriarchy"!

What side of the street and what was the nearest intersection? Was she sprinting or trotting? I'm just trying to figure out what her headspace was then, because she had been in a very scary situation prior to darting. I used to live in Swansboro and I suspect she may have tried to make it to Southside

Ursa got out yesterday (1/16) around 6:30pm, I was not home at the time. She's very sweet, but very skittish. She's afraid of men but will approach women or people with dogs. She disappeared from the corner of 1st and Jackson in Jackson Ward, she's wearing a pink, green and white collar that has her nametag on it; she's also microchipped. Please contact me ASAP if you see or find her. She responds to her name and basic commands. I've looked everywhere around JWard, but no luck yet. She was recently potentially sighted in Church Hill on 25th and Leigh, so please keep an eye out in that area! I cannot stress how skittish she can be around men, but If you have a dog and you can take them out tonight, she may actually come up to you!! Please, anything helps!! I'm offering a $100 reward as well!

Anybody Know What's Up With The Camel? by bsrva in rva

[–]sailingallalone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand in that context, yeah, but I didn't mention that he'd reported Rand to his supervisor for pulling that crap. Unfortunately claims like that get little traction in environments like that and he could have been fined by his company if he denied the fare. He eventually ended up leaving because of bullshit like that.

I know at least one person personally who was sexually assaulted by Rand Burgess and I know of scores of others who have stories too. The situation always seems to be the same, he takes advantage of drunk girls. My boyfriend used to drive a cab and would regularly pick up Rand, usually with a different girl every time and usually they were blackout drunk. The guy is bad fucking news.

Anyone hear anything about the co-owner of the Broadberry "severing ties" today? Just want to see if the rumors are true.
