Just simple right and wrong
Rape should not be used as a marketing gimmick or as a mystery box element to drive the plot forward in a show that will not address rape as a serious crime but is used as a punch line. By doing so a man or a woman is falsely accused of rape and that is not a joke, and you make mockery of the crime itself with this 'did it happen' or 'did it not happen' attitude as if we are on an easter egg hunt this is not a bloody game show.
Rape is a crime that just cannot be latched on to any man or a woman as a story telling device. Psychology of a rapist is damaged psychosis, you have to be a certain type of individual to commit this crime, it is not about sex it is about power. And by just making any man or a woman a rapist you are saying there is a rapist in every house, as if anybody can commit such a heinous crime that is dangerous.
If a drama is about rape it should be taken seriously, audiences should know before hand, there should be trigger warnings so people can make up their minds on to watch or not. People have a right to decide what content they want to see, we signed up for romance as the show is ending you can't suddenly change the genre to horror, excuse me do I look like a fool to you. In a drama where there is rape there should be serious consequences for the crime, perpetrators punished, victim should be given justice, redemption not possible.
Female actors should not act like rape victims on screen if their characters were not raped, by doing so they trivialize the trauma of real victims whose real pain will not be taken seriously. Don't act like a victim and 4 episodes later go ooopssss sorry nothing happened I was just trying to win some awards WTF.
Absolutely. Spot on. They knew what a blockbuster hit they had and they still decided it was okay to show these scenes.
