i think the on1y one opened me up to being sympathetic about step siblings in love(it was my first with that dynamic) but this, THIS is all the way wrong. i guess theres a reason i see people memeing about and dreading this trope. it seems done horribly 99% of the time.
what are the points of ep 5 and 6 who resolve around those scenes if you remove that scene in the first place…
and i totally still believe if that was their first kiss instead of the rape scene, you couldnve had almost all scenes after and instead of a laughable and insulting portrayal of post rape suffering you could’ve had porsche staying up all night and everything after because he was kissed without consent and discovered he has some feelings for a man he thought he hated. because yeah, thats how “seriously” it was taken, not rape serious.

ok we have different opinions, but i doubt even you would call this a good portrayal of rape(and all it entails). its not good for the story, its not good in the messages that get imparted to viewers.
after finishing s1 and reading the synopsis here, im out. I struggled with teh the first time, but i cannot stand love triangle plots where the person is genuinely swayed. its a pet peeve.
i hope someone can help me if i have the wrong idea or something.
this would be a great series for anyone able to amputate that grape scene from their minds. but its quite reprehensible to include it and then use it in such a way. you could literally make an edit where you cut it out and nothing would be affected. this is sending horrible messages about it, about victims, about perpetrators… sigh what a fuck up
im in it for the main couple now.
so … 10/10
i hope someone can help me if i have the wrong idea or something.
