I agree. And I think people are going overboard with petitions and protests, most of them seem to be ignoring that a young kid was in danger. It makes me uneasy.

 

Calling a random stranger a bad parent also doesn't sit well with me

 

Could of got hit with a big law suit by doing nothing.

 

@St. Nate is a bad parent.

There. I said it.

 

I just can't believe the mom wasn't panicking and was so calm. The more I think about it though different people react in different ways.

 

This dude in the GoT thread is the worst.

 

Maybe she was nervous but on the surface she looked calm and ready

 

UGH. Fuck this guy.

 

I think about some of the kids I work with. If the mom panicks and makes a scene while im administering shots, the kid freaks. So she probably thought of it that way like if I freak he's gonna freak and agitate the gorilla more.

 

he's awful. awful back on ap too. awful. AWFUL.

 

Hey. That's my son you're talking about!

 

Maybe if you had raised him better, we wouldn't have this problem.

 

So what you're saying is I should go in the thread and berate him as if he was my son and you're a mod and fine with this.

 

plz do

 

GoT seems like my kinda show since I love LOTR but I hear there are quite a lot of rape scenes or something? I've steered clear bc of that.

 

It's weird but I prefer not to be up on any show that popular. Like if I see multiple people talking about it when I log into Facebook I probably won't watch it

Anyway I don't have HBO or a Swiss bank account

 

I cringe when people say LOTR is like GoT and vice-versace.

 

I just started Jane the Virgin and this is already so delightful.

 

On behalf of which

 

Both.

Like just because they both are medieval-ish fantasy doesn't mean they're similar. Both aren't really comparable at all.

 

I didn't mean it like that. Time period seems similar is what I meant.

 

I love both stories, but they're definitely not very similar except shelved in high fantasy. I do think you'd enjoy the show. There are three main rapes, which is three too many, but with the third one they finally gave it a plot to show the victim overcoming and properly dealing with it. But I will say, if those story lines or themes are triggers, don't bother with it.

 

I don't know anything about GoT so I guess I shouldn't have used LOTR as a comparison. I regret saying that now.

 

Nah, it's very common. No harm no foul. GRRM was called "The American Tolkien" throughout most of the late 90s/early 00s.

 

One of my managers keeps bothering me to watch GoT and it just makes me wanna watch it even less. I have commitment issues with new shows
