Feminist anti-gamergate writer upset that American HORROR Story (Hotel) starts off the season with a callous, brutal, rape in that Hotel.

The horror story is ruined for her when it includes a rape.

Polygon: American Horror Story: Hotel premiere marred by one graphic three-minute scene
By Julia Alexander on Oct 08, 2015 at 10:00a

American Horror Story: Hotel is yet another perfect example of showrunner Ryan Murphy using depraved and unnecessary violent sexual attacks to emphasize the importance he places on shock value instead of substance.

It's hard to delve into this review without acknowledging the extremely unsettling elephant in the room that took place 20 minutes into the 90-minute premiere.

Once checked into the macabre Hotel Cortez, every creepy nook and corner explored through the disorienting fisheye lens Murphy chose to shoot a large portion of the premiere with, we're introduced to comedic actor Max Greenfield's character, Gabriel.

Gabriel — who struts around with the air of a hungover rockstar, cloaked in the finest of faux furs — desperately needs a semi-hygienic room for the night where he can be free to shoot up. After rolling his eyes exaggeratedly at the concierge woman, Iris (Kathy Bates) and heckling her over the steep price for a one-night stay, he's assigned a room.

Here's where Murphy's disregard for sexual crimes becomes apparent once again.

As soon as Gabriel is settled in and he's pumped his body full of drugs, he's visited by the various nefarious miscreants that have taken up residence in the hotel over the years, including a man in a white suit of some sort, who viciously shreds off his clothes and violently rapes him.

It's incredibly difficult to write a rape scene (as the Game of Thrones writers discovered), and it's even more difficult to try and convince audiences that depicting the horrific crime is absolutely necessary to move the story forward.

Too much of the time, writers use rape as a lazy device to add drama or conflict to a show, and until it was recently called out by various critics, it was an act salacious enough to garner attention the next day.

That's the worst part about this particular scene. There was no apparent reason why Greenfield's character had to be raped, nor was there enough time between introducing him on the show and showcasing the crude act to even hint that there was an underlying context for it.

Instead, the scene (which is broken down into two subsequent parts), is dragged out and shot from a variety of angles, almost as if Ryan was trying to take as much as he could out of the act to complete the scene.

...

Everyone who comments on this video condemns the judge for being a cold, heartless bitch.

I can't see it that way.

A woman was subpoenaed to testify at her then-husband's domestic abuse trial. But she failed to show up. She even told the officers who served her with the subpoena that she was not going to show up.

She claims depression and anxiety. I take medication for depression and anxiety, too, but I never considered a court order to be an optional assignment. I would have taken my medication as directed, dragged my depressed/anxious self to court and gotten on the witness stand when I was told to.

Somewhere along the line, she got the idea that prosecuting her abuser was her choice. I appreciate her need to "move on," but the issue is larger than her feelings. By failing to appear to testify, she could have allowed her abuser to walk and hurt her further, or eventually hurt someone else.

And finally, three days for contempt of court is a relative slap on the wrist. I've seen people get sixty days for contempt of court. Maybe after this experience, when she gets a court order to testify, she'll recognize that she's not been given a choice and show up.

So, what she's saying is that she's shocked, shocked to learn that schlocky and sensationalistic American TV is schlocky and sensationalistic?

I think it's worse than that Old RPM Daddy.

It's a damn horror story, in horror stories, unexpected, literally horrific, and mostly not politically correct acts occur.

I was reading a feminist review The Martian and she described the misogyny of The Martian because Damon's character, thinking he will die on Mars, sends a letter to another scientist telling her she is hot. There's also misogyny when two NASA heads have a discussion over a NASA tech (who is a woman's) qualifications for a promotion. One insists she was promoted because she is a woman, the other then insists and shows it is because she had some brilliant insights. Another piece of misogyny is that one of the women stars portrays a NASA head of PR.

All of this shows flawed humans having a human experience and for the most part the women are shown to be extremely competent and capable of the most heroic decisions and the most brilliant insights of any of the characters.

The main women in The Martian are

+ Mission Commander
+ Astronaut and Computer Expert
+ A newly hired tech who sees something on Mars that when she investigates leads her to discover that Matt Damon's character is still alive, something no one else on earth had known about for weeks
+ NASA head of PR

But it's all misogyny since two of the characters didn't have a totally feminist dialogue, instead they had a possibly typical dialogue IN WHICH STILL, sexism was shown to be idiotic. And because one woman portrayed a PR head, which is a stereotyped female job when she should have been the head of NASA not some white guy.

So in short both of these were feminist "critics" taking offense with fiction that did not adhere 100% to feminist approved plotlines the entire way through, even though in both shows, women are routinely shown to be strong, and often stronger than the men and smarter than the men and much more capable and less evil than the men in almost every respect. Responsible for their own orgasms too.

Let's only have feminist approved entertainment. So idiotic.

So why doenst Julia Alexander get up off her ass, stop complaining, and put in the work required to run her own damn show?

How many times do we have to tell you people we hate corporate welfare?

So when we make damned sure we receive it we're not being hypocritical.

And you know that's the truth because we say it is!
