Why did Chandler and Monica decide between them that Rachael would be moving out when Chandler moved in without consulting her? That's incredibly inconsiderate, especially in an apartment that could easily house 4+.

It's not victim blaming to say that a woman needs to know to say no very clearly or just leave the place entirely when she is uncomfortable. It's a sad state of affairs that woman should have that responsibility to protect themselves, and Aziz obviously acted like a massive creep in this situation. But it could have been avoided on her part and reducing talk like that to victim blaming is sending the wrong message. Men are creeps and women need to know that and be strong enough to resist that without falling into this victim mentality. I think there's also danger in conflating a more avoidable situation and more horrific abuse all into the "sexual assault" label which risks trivialising the more serious cases.

jfc no. The article says she actually said no more than once, and he kept going after telling her he'd back off. Celebrities will always have the upper hand in those situations.

This also apparently went down just a few months ago. Have any of the other recent accusations been so recent? It's shocking that this would've happened literal days before #MeToo started.

If I remember right it's also rent controlled

Yeah but Monica didn't need to move out. I get wanting to live alone but that place was way too big for two people sharing a bedroom.

Aziz Ansari being a creep is possibly the least-surprising news ever. He's intolerable on both Scrubs and Parks & Rec and his stand-up has always come across as phony "white people you so crazy" stuff.

I think Master of None is hugely responsible for how people perceive him these days.

Man who dedicated his life to whining about the stereotypes surrounding Indian men winds up perpetrating the worst stereotype of all by being a rapist.

Christ.

I'm surprised he/his reps haven't said anything at all in response yet. Maybe they're trying to avoid pulling a Spacey but it doesn't look great.

I posted the link about the Aziz story on my Facebook and then a couple people I know came to his defense and said the girl was full of poo poo and was asking for it and was abused intentionally for fame and money and to ruin Aziz's career.

I really loving hate some of the people I know.

Ask them to name the girl.

I wonder how long Netflix will keep this show up on their service.

They don't actually remove their own originals (maybe they would if someone was the Jimmy Saville of their day, I dunno?). They probably just won't highlight it on the front page or make any more (and he already said he wasn't planning to make a third series for a long time, if ever).

They didn't even cancel House of Cards for crying out loud.

I don't know, maybe Skyfall was deeply misogynistic and I didn't catch it, but I enjoyed the movie a lot.

Sandwiched between Quantum of Solace and Spectre it's pretty great, but next to Casino Royale it's less impressive.

I still don't think it's not good or anything.

Anyone else enjoy Gogglebox? I thought the premise was the dumbest poo poo ever but I thoroughly enjoy it.

Googglebox is when I decided that broadcast TV isn't for me anymore.

Caught up on Fargo season 3. Why did people keep saying it was the worst one (to the point that I was put off from watching when it initially aired)? I thought it was incredible.

Re: Fargo S3, the problem for me is I just didn't care about any of the characters. Nothing about the season was bad, it was just...stuff that happened to some people.

Escobarbarian posted:

I think it’s probably because on the surface it’s the most unpleasant and least entertaining. I honestly couldn’t really stand watching Varga on screen, deliberate as that may be. But it’s probably the season with the most thematic depth and stuff to say.

Fair enough. I adored Nikki and Varga as characters but I guess YMMV. :shrug:

Yeeees that's amazing.

I do adore the way they cut season 4 originally but I'm massively into rewatching it this way.
