[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting that none of the female superhero are bad/evil. [/quote]

We haven’t really seen many female superheroes. Honestly most of the men aren’t “evil” either. Only Homelander has a psychotic killing streak. [/quote]

I haven’t seen the show but some posters have mentioned rape by the male superheroes. I would consider that evil. [/quote]

Maybe you should watch the show before commenting condescendingly.

There was 1 instance when a single male superhero forcibly coerced a female superhero into performing fellatio on him by using his position of power. That one superhero is who I mentioned as being evil, along with Homelander (who you won’t know because you haven’t watched).

ANYWAY - I don’t think the stretch superhero is evil because he is a hypocrite closet homosexual. I don’t think Translucent is EVIL because he’s a pervert, and A Train was instructed by Homelander - terrible deed, and a murderer but I don’t consider him evil.

I think evil is being confused with being bad people/assholes/etc.

[b]Out of genuine curiosity - how did you all feel about Deep being raped in Ohio?[/b][/quote]

I think he deserved it. I couldn't tell if the girl did it intentionally as payback for his assaults, or if she genuinely got off on it.

I'm wondering if the show will either us it as a turning point for him to improve- he sees the error of his ways and changes for the good- or if it's the start of a downward spiral. [/quote]

I never think rape/sexual assault is deserved and I’m a survivor of six years of CSA and the mother of a rape survivor before you pull any “You wouldn’t feel that way if...” BS. It is an inexcusable evil. Nothing justifies it.

I don’t think rape should be used as a way of providing character growth or a plot twist.

I DO think The Deep now understands how wrong his actions are. That understanding doesn’t redeem him. Rapists and child molesters often were victims of CSA themselves. They can understand the pain without that understanding prompting actual compassion or accountability.

If The Deep has a turning point, it needs to be something proactive.[/quote]

Thank you for that insight, and being willing to answer and be so forthcoming. For whatever it’s worth, I’m sorry for what you and your family had to deal with. My ex was a rape survivor and I remember the toll it took on her, but knowing I could never truly understand how she felt.

Anyway, I’m interested in seeing how they have The Deep change (if he does). [/quote]
