I'm glad that other people are horrified by this, and I'm even more glad that you have written this post. I don't think rape is funny or entertaining, either.Ashley Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624361869796919484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-52680654416946736472011-12-14T13:06:20.081-08:002011-12-14T13:06:20.081-08:00The vigor at which some horror films fight against...The vigor at which some horror films fight against complexity can be seriously discouraging.<br /><br />To me, the most memorable scares come from an understanding of the way we, as humans, operate and understand our worlds and then just fucking with it. Rather than just trying to traumatize everyone. <br /><br />Being a horror fan can be a real mind fuck sometimes. Let The Right One In and the fucking Hills Have Eyes are apart of the same general genre of horror. It's madness! <br /><br />-MeghannMeghannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262798121892952737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-35106898292371952952011-12-14T12:05:44.530-08:002011-12-14T12:05:44.530-08:00Hi!

I just did my masters dissertation on rape in film and concluded that even when there are human rapists present, they are always portrayed as monsters and never as they skinny, spotty kid next door. Statistically, rape is committed by men across all demographics and rapists look like your next door neighbor or your shy coworker more often than they look like the muscle-bound, pack-traveling monsters in films.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127426481811294743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-35789804806628748212011-12-13T15:48:26.292-08:002011-12-13T15:48:26.292-08:00@Alex What a great book, that I never, ever have t...@Alex What a great book, that I never, ever have to read again.Arlettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181991304945874856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-6077727484272140442011-12-13T15:22:13.969-08:002011-12-13T15:22:13.969-08:00@drmathochist
Have you read The Marabou Stork Nig...@drmathochist<br /><br />Have you read The Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvin Welsh? Spoiler alert, but yeah, it does that, basically. Very good book.

He said "If I were a girl, it'd have been date rape." He never talked about it, because he couldn't reconcile what had happened to him with what he thought rape was supposed to look like: monstrous, violent and clear-cut. And he also habitually got himself into situations where the consent he got was ... uh ... iffy, for probably very related reasons.<br /><br />Seeing as I'm a fan of the "oh god, wait, what if I'M the monster?" movies, yes, there is definitely room for that kind of nuance in movies.Arlettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181991304945874856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-65855428893842827132011-12-13T15:01:32.356-08:002011-12-13T15:01:32.356-08:00This is a fantastic point.
