Hear, hear! we should only make movies exactly to your specifications and since you think rape is taboo, and needs to remain a subject shrouded in shaming silence, all films should not only abide, but convey the message. We shouldn't even allow the word **** any more

For Colored girls tore me to shreds, I really thought it was going to be following regular black girl struggles, but it really haunted and tramatized me, I just can’t even fathom what somebody who has been through something like that would feel.
@cinephilejen
yes! u can allude to something happening without something having to graphically happen- survivors don’t want to watch graphic rape scenes and i hate the idea that there’s people who want that in the movie- it’s disgusting
@cinephilejen
a lot of people in these comments are acting like this take is “censorship” when in reality rape scenes serve basically no purpose thematically and literally any other plot point would be more interesting and nuanced
@cinephilejen
Guess I’m the only woman with a different POV; it depends on execution. I had the original French poster of “Irreversible” on her office wall for years. The 10 min. rape scene (well, the entire film) is supposed induce a feeling of repulsion in viewers.

YES! I just watched 9 1/2 Weeks for the first time in years. It's a perfect example of a fuckboy violating consent boundaries in every conceivable way, shape & form, from stalking, to unwanted kisses, to surprise BDSM scenes. Abolish fuckory like this in movies, it ain't cute!😭
