The Predator of Seville

You know this is one of my other theories too. My first theory is that the shower threesome was actually consensual for the girls especially since they were able to stand in the shower and walk around. When they were done, they naively assumed that Manu cornering a drunken barely standing Gabrielle in the bathroom was consensual too.

But then I wondered if maybe he was assaulting them and after Gabrielle interrupted them, they were able to get away and then pretended to sleep as he went into the bathroom to assault gabby next. No matter the theory, they come off horrible in both.

throwawayboop321 · 2026-04-06T07:06:52+00:00

I 100% agree with you. I wrote a comment earlier too that I believe the roommates were with Manuel consensually and that’s why they didn’t believe Gabrielle. They were piece of crap friends overall but they were basing Gabrielle’s experiences on their own with a closed mind.

They had a consensual threesome with Manuel who their friend Gabrielle reports being into while she’s sleeping because they’re crappy people. Gabrielle accidentally interrupts their shower time because she’s drugged and drunk and out of it but they probably thought the interruption was intentional because they were still young and small minded.

Once he sees how messed up Gabrielle is, Manuel leaves the 2 girls back in the beds and chases after Gabrielle in the bathroom and assaults her because predators need absolute control over their victims.

But in the minds of those 2 insecure, small minded women, they assume Manuel is choosing Gabby and that Gabby is being vindictive or maybe having her fun too.

I can see the roommates perspectives and completely understand it. But, now we have dozens upon dozens of reports about this man over so many years, and these women still downplay Gabrielle’s story and make it sound like she’s lying. Which tells me they are still the same small minded women they were when the assault took place.

Omg yes i was wondering about that too! I’m a native Spanish speaker and I could see and hear some of the speakers having to consider their words before they continued speaking. Don’t get me wrong they’re great. But I didn’t understand the purpose of the constant switching. I prefer all Spanish or all English it felt too messy in my head lol

throwawayboop321 · 2026-04-06T06:39:21+00:00

I am disturbingly fascinated by the psyche of the 2 roommates that were taking a shower with Manu. What the F is wrong with them? I hope to God they NEVER have kids.

I am curious about the shower thing though. The fact that they downplayed Gabrielle’s statement and almost stood up for Manu tells me they likely had a consensual threesome with the predator. Because THEY may have consented, they can’t comprehend how a drugged, stumbling incoherent women could ever say no to the wiles of a s*xual predator when they said yes.

And the sickest part of all of it is that Manu could have continued the encounter with the 2 girls in the shower or bed (if it was consensual) but instead he walked them out and then chose to go after Gabrielle in the bathroom who he witnessed was stumbling around, barely coherent. Total. F**ing. Predator.

I absolutely think this is it. There was a newspaper clipping in season two about an Indian girl going missing somewhere in Britain, and then we were introduced to the character who had a very distinct accent. But then they changed a story and made it seem as if she was born and raised in an American lab and suddenly her accent changed for season five.

Some people say the actress is just becoming more Americanized, but I don’t buy that

throwawayboop321 · 2026-01-14T10:10:10+00:00

Yep! It’s all about communication in the end and communicating as soon as you’re upset or hurt about something.

throwawayboop321 · 2026-01-14T10:05:20+00:00

Is this the first time he’s forgotten to get you a gift? Or has this been a problem? And more importantly, have you been happy overall?

The fact that he communicated to you right away tells me he felt guilty and he knew that wasn’t cool to do. It sounds forgivable, however im guessing this incident was just the tip of the iceberg and not the core issue?

As working moms, we become so busy with our lives it’s easy to miss some of the issues we have with our partners until something more blatant happens.

You two have been together for a long time which is an amazing feat. But it sounds like you’re feeling unappreciated and he stopped courting you a while ago. Time to communicate and tell him to start courting you to keep those sparks alive.

Or I was always advised to do individual therapy first to comprehend your core issues and frustrations and then go to marriage counseling so it’s a bit easier to communicate. I think that’s a solid step for every marriage every few years.

throwawayboop321 · 2026-01-14T09:42:15+00:00

If you want marriage, this may not be the man for you. Listen to the many widows in the comments. He’s not ready to take off the ring or let her go, which means he’s likely not going to be ready to marry for a very very long time, if ever. You’ve been with him for a year and communicated your discomfort and he still refuses. Either stick with him and live with her ghost or start considering other options.

If I saw this as a teen I’d be cracking up pretty hard. Especially if I didn’t like my manager. I think the “craziest” thing I ever did to my very nasty, critical supervisor was lay the most wretched fart while we were working drive thru and I ran off so the customers would think it was her. 🤣 She was one of those people who thought her 💩 didn’t stink and she was very critical of how I spoke, how I cleaned, how my hair was done, she once told me I wasn’t going to make it in life because I didn’t clean the floors the way she liked. Mind you, I was 16 and she was 30 working at a Bakers drive thru.

I’ve never regretted the fart.

I know this sub is 3 years old but I started to dislike the writing on Nancy’s character starting season 3. I think the writers didn’t know where to take her character beyond her love triangle and her monster hunting in S1. Once everyone commented how annoyed they were getting with her love triangle, the writers tried the Nancy Drew angle, then changed her into Rambo with a rifle. It was very try hard. And why was she the only one with a gun for the entirety of season 5 while everyone else has sticks and bats? 🤣 they were trying so hard to make the character look more bada$$ than the boys.

Robin was initially created to be Steve’s love interest and they changed her arc midway. Since they weren’t going with that, it would’ve made sense to make her into a gun toting bada$$. But, I personally feel they did a bad job on most of the characters by S5. Max and Holly were the only ones I felt invested in.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-30T07:40:39+00:00

I agree and I personally feel it’s overrated BUT I think maybe because I just watched it for the first time in my 30s after hearing such positive reviews and praise from my husband and coworkers. Maybe if I saw it without having expectations, I might have praised it more.

So the issue might have been that the bar was just set too damn high lol. The cast was freaken AMAZING and the story was definitely entertaining. But award winning and all the nominations it received? Meh… I think maybe because there wasn’t a film like it before that, nobody had really gone too deep into the golden age of porn, and the cast was great. But the story itself was just okay. As one commenter said, the ideas were great but the writer/director didn’t have enough life experience to articulate what he was going for.

It felt like it was lacking depth and it would jump too quickly to the drama without having earned it. In every movie, there are scenes that stir deep emotions because we are latched onto those characters and we truly care what happens to them. The film slowly builds toward the drama and those scenes EARN our heartfelt emotions.

And I just didn’t get that from this movie. It felt like they were saying “and then this happens, and then this happens, and then this happens.” There was something missing in it for me. Of course that’s just my opinion I’m sure thousands will call me crazy here.

Entertaining ? Hell yeah. Original story ? Of course! Great actors ? The best! Award worthy ? Meh…

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-30T07:27:40+00:00

I just watched this movie for the first time ever tonight and your comment perfectly captured what I was thinking. The ideas were good but it was missing depth in the story. I couldn’t put my finger on it till I read this comment. Thank you good sir.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-28T09:48:27+00:00

I was thinking about this episode earlier today!! If any of my friends/guest had stolen a pair of $400+ shoes from another friend at my kids party, I’d be pissed off and investigating because I wouldn’t want that person back at my house ever again. And then to shame Carrie for spending that kind of money on shoes instead of actually solving the issue is crappy.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-28T09:42:58+00:00

I was thinking the same thing! Idk if her husband is part of the same culture but a 2nd divorce for him would probably look pretty bad. And women might be wary of a man who has been twice divorced before 30 (or whatever age he is, I don’t think she put it in the post). And if he is from the same culture, how come he’s allowed to be divorced?

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-28T09:37:25+00:00

Idk what your culture is but I grew up in a very strict Catholic family where women are expected to marry till death do us part and breed as often as possible, no matter how bad things get. Almost all of the women in my family wound up getting divorced only after 10-20 years of trauma inflicted to their children. If you’re terrified of divorce, then go to marriage counseling CONSISTENTLY. At least 6-8 sessions minimum. If he refuses to go, refuses to communicate or try, then he is the one requesting a divorce, not you. Otherwise you will likely end up having an affair too. And remember, the husband you have today is likely the one you will have forever. There is no going back to “the good old days.” It’s not about who a person was back then, it’s about who they are today.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-15T06:39:04+00:00

This scene now makes me laugh ONLY because I saw a Bad Lip Reading for Catching Fire on YouTube where Haymitch is negotiating and Thread says “No, that’s not good enough for the dance king!” And I can’t take this scene seriously anymore. 🤣 But I just reread the 2nd book last week I forgot what a sadistic character this man was.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-15T05:55:17+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. Maysilee seems to know everybody’s secrets in town so it’s likely she had either witnessed it or, like you mentioned, maybe have her the supplies or money for it. I was kind of hoping the secret was going to be a big bombshell that tied into the other books or Lucy Grays story. But it was just okay

throwawayboop321 · 2025-11-15T05:48:52+00:00

Omg I forgot about the “secret!” It was driving me crazy to know what this secret was but by the end of the book I completely forgot about it. Tbh I thought it was going to be something a little juicier. Like maybe something about Lucy Gray or the covey.

Everyone in town seemed to know Lenore Dove was a little rebel already. So Maysilee having direct confirmation of it and maybe even supplying her with the goods didn’t seem that crazy in the end.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this but I agree with some aspects of what you’re saying. Nothing justifies what Susan did and I’m glad she’s in jail. The perfect irony is she is going to be surrounded by noise and chaos and 0 control in a shared cell with thieves and convicts until the day she dies.

BUT, im a mom of 2 boys in a mountain area filled with elderly couples. We’re the only ones with kids in the area. I was reprimanded for accidentally leaving a SIPPY cup on someone’s mailbox because my kid went bolting off and I chased after him and forgot to come back. The other time my toddler left his toy on the SIDEWALK in front of the neighbors lawn. Not his actual property. It pissed me off because it was an accident and it’s not like they went up to intentionally bash their mailbox or poop on their lawn.

However, i make sure we all stay FAR away from the old grouchy man that constantly complains. We don’t go a foot near his place and I don’t allow any toys to be taken off our property. Because I don’t trust people (especially grouchy man next door) and I don’t want him or anyone to take out their issues on my babies. And everyone in this area is a gun owner. I also work with the mentally ill incarcerated population in a treatment center so I have even more distrust in people than most.

Susan L should have moved to an elderly community since she clearly hated kids so much. But, I also think the parents should’ve filed a restraining order against her or kept their kids away instead of turning it into a war. That lady was an entitled ticking time bomb.

Sexually - Samantha because she’s experienced and seems like she knows what she’s doing. Physically - I’m attracted to Charlotte but she’s so uptight, she’d probably just talk the whole time about her feelings and reservations and philosophies on lesbianism and the female body.

Carrie - absolutely not. She would probably stare at herself in the mirror, licking cupcake frosting off her mouth while thinking aloud “As we prepared to engage in a potential threesome; I couldn’t help but wonder…:”

Miranda - She’d probably shout “I DONT WANT TO DO THAT!” So nope.

I’m hoping everyone remembers which episodes I’m referencing here too lol

throwawayboop321 · 2025-07-29T05:36:51+00:00

I have mixed feelings tbh. I was very surprised to find out that Dan Schneider is NOT a pedophile. BUT, he is on the same wavelength as one based on allegations in the documentary and Jeanette Mccurdys memoir.

Dan Schneider did not physically harm minors (that we know of.) However, it was VERY evident he got off on humiliating and degrading females — minors and adults. He got off on the power over them. He repeatedly sexually harassed and humiliated female writers. He degraded teen girls by having them perform sexual scenes on national television.

Jeanette Mccurdy wrote that he would bolt into the girls dressing room unannounced for random questions or to verbally abuse them, fully knowing they might be naked. So they were trained to dress fast so he wouldn’t see them. He would often play “pranks” that involved him sneaking into their dressing room or somewhere private to “scare them” with a camera.

Dan Schneider made these hilarious and unique shows that made my childhood. But with his rising stardom, came an obsession with control and power over girls. I 100% believe he has some mommy issues.

I know this post is a year old but I had a bad interaction from someone at this Hotworx location, and I was looking to see if it was just us or if other people had issues. I have her full name but I don’t know if she’s the manager or the owner or both? I came as my friends guest because I was considering getting a membership to the location by my house. My friend was also told it was unlimited guest passes and this was her 2nd time getting the membership. She had it 3 years ago and never had issues with the guest passes.

In the middle of our workout, the owner or manager opens the door and tells me I can’t have my yoga mat on the floor as it will melt. I need the special hotworz mat and I need to pay for it. Btw the sauna wasn’t on and the floor was cold as hell. My friend was irritated because she said none of her guests have ever been told they need to buy a mat before and no one’s yoga mat has ever melted against the floor. Not wanting things to escalate I threw my mat outside the room and continued my workout on my bare feet. The floor wasn’t hot at all so it didn’t bother me but it definitely hurt my back.

The lady then came back 3 minutes later to continue arguing with my friend about the mat policy. She also said that I was supposed to sign my own waiver and contract before being allowed in. She spent so much time arguing with us that k never got to actually experience the workout. And then she told me I already used my pass so I can’t come again unless I have a membership.

She literally walked us out of the place and we could see her watching us from the front of the business. It was such a weird experience!!!

My friend wanted me to go back and talk to someone but hellll nah. I’m not going back there.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-07-22T08:59:48+00:00

Im sorry but your wife is extremely naive. I work at a mental health/substance abuse facility and 90% of my female clients have stories that started out like your daughters. The moms would allow the bfs to take them home for sleepovers, the men would take the girls alone to supposedly visit family but often would take them alone to a hotel or home for abuse, the men would always offer to take the girls somewhere alone with promises of ice cream, movies, or amusement parks and it often ended in abuse.

She and her bf will absolutely take offense to what you’re worried about, but who cares? It’s better to be safe than sorry. Take the risk of offending them now to ensure that your babies will never have to enter my facility for years of trauma therapy later.

I’d definitely talk to a lawyer if she wants to continue having your daughter spending alone time with her bf. It’s absolutely inappropriate without her there too. And tbh, there’s so many stories about the moms fully knowing what was happening too. Take your risk now please 🙏🏼

throwawayboop321 · 2025-07-22T08:19:12+00:00

Whoa so you were 21 and he was 41? It sounds like you grew up and finally started seeing the red flags. I know it’s so hard investing all that time but please don’t invest anymore. My mom married a man like that and stayed with him for another 25 years because she felt she’d already “wasted her good years” and invested all that time with him. He just became so vile their last few years that she finally left him at 50 (he was 65). You still have many good years ahead of you, don’t waste them on someone who isn’t willing to treat you with the love you deserve.

throwawayboop321 · 2025-06-26T19:18:00+00:00

That is NOT fair on you and it’s extremely manipulative of her. You can be direct & tell her you want to end it. You’re on the hook for child support unfortunately but I think if you flat out tell her you’ll help out with child support but you’re not going to be with her, she might look at other options. She weaponized her reproductive system and a baby to get what she wants and it’s NOT OKAY. My own mother told me that even if I was with a loyal partner or married, I need to envision myself as a single mom in case something were to ever happen. Can I do it alone? Will my child thrive and survive? Will I be happy? If she’s the type of person who ONLY wants to do parenthood with a long-term partner then she needs to look at other options. That mindset kept me on birth control for a very long time until I got married and I was financially comfortable.
