Horror Movies Thread

We’re fine with all other possession. We’re fine with murder. We’re fine with disemboweling. We’re fine with everything. But this is the line we draw!

To be fair, as I understand it, the discourse is that at the end of the day, Nikki is a victim of sexual assault. Not just emotionally, but physically. Ethically speaking, is that a character that should be trivialized and made a mere photo op/meet & greet for entertainment?

I can sort of see both sides of this issue. When you put it that way, it is petty off-putting, and smacks of poor taste. On the other hand, you do have all the "it's just a movie" people who are interested in seeing a character that is also known for their unbalanced, dramatic shifts of psyche that are admittedly a fascinating character study and performance, who have probably honestly (and perhaps conveniently) forgotten or overlook the SA aspect.

I can also imagine this going down gender lines. I would suspect more women are off-putt than men... which sort of opens its own can of worms about societal gender norms and attitudes...

BlueSky has had very little discussion about this because the HHN community on there is still incredibly small. The most likes any post has on it is 51.

And don’t get me wrong, BlueSky always needs its daily virtue signal discourse, but the lack of algorithm prevents discussions like this from exploding with takes. It says a lot that the discussion on there didn’t start until yesterday. It started on Twitter.
