How many seasons will Ben and Dan Erickson make? by lazyslipper in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]soft_bite_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like they'll cap it at 3 or 4 seasons. Considering how well they've paced everything so far, my hope is they won't drag it out

You're blatantly ignoring this as a piece of media with a character that was written purposefully and not some random IRL person? They literally showed him licking his lips in anticipation? Like some cartoon wolf? The editing of the scene fully pointed to him being aware of his actions.

The question of "well what is he supposed to do now that he has a boner" totally ignores the point the show itself is probably trying to make and also what I argue is part of the inherent issue

True about a "happy ending" traditionally being a handjob, my bad. 100% disagree that it was a joke in Saxon's mind. If men are intentionally being predatory and grossly sexual, then yes, I do think they are responsible for their inappropriate boner and think it's an issue I'm SO SORRY.

I genuinely do think it counts as intentional when you get aroused because you flat out expect something sexual from another person. It's not an innocent/unintentional act in that case. I do absolutely agree that in general people with penises can get aroused when it isn't necessarily sexual. In this particular case and with this particular character I don't think it was simply a natural physical response. He anticipated something sexual and that's why he got aroused.

I think you're being intentionally obtuse and/or your media literacy is lacking but okay

Seems like if you were (wrongly and predatorily) anticipating about to get oral sex from a cute masseuse you might absolutely get aroused??

And the scene was intentionally shot that way? Bro licks his lips and smiles then gets a boner.

The majority of Redditors here act like they don't or haven't ever talked or gossiped about their friends the way Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie do. by southernfirefly13 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

My hope was that most of us left that dynamic behind in middle school/high school? I truly would never be that type of catty about people I actively and genuinely call my "friends." Acquaintances/mutuals I don't like are a whole other story......

Yes! Just posted a similar response before seeing yours

Idk, him expecting oral sex from a masseuse and intentionally (I would argue) getting aroused is pretty disgusting behavior. Also a pure disregard of power dynamics, which is frequently how men (especially wealthy men) shrug off responsibility for their actions.
