[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8265895, member: 22779"] It is non-consensual sexual touching. Full stop. That it's played for laughs is more a sign of the times than anything else. Note I never said anyone was bad or advocated anything. I said that the movie contains a scene of a sexual assault that is played off for laughs. It's hardly the first movie to do so. If by, "speaking to his character", you mean someone who sexually touches women without consent, then, okay, fair enough. Imagine the reaction if it was the character of Benny that did the exact same thing. Do you think it would still be played off for laughs? And, [USER=85555]@Bedrockgames[/USER], you consistently complain about every single change that WotC makes that even hints at anything related to being more inclusive. Repeatedly. Every single time. So, yeah, you'll have to excuse me if I don't really bother with a more measured approach anymore. You continually refuse to recognize anything wrong with any old trope. There is never any inherent issues. It's rather frustrating discussing with someone who absolutely refuses to see any issue, ever. No old trope is ever problematic for you, so, you presume that it shouldn't be problematic for anyone. And, when I specifically tell you what the problems are, with proof (even a video this time), it still gets swept aside an brushed off. Every single time. It's not a case of "simply disagreeing". You refuse to acknowledge any problematic element in old tropes, ever. Despite the fact that this is all well established material. Old tropes are full of racism and bigotry is like saying rain is wet. Having to "prove" it over and over again is so disheartening. This is all basic Lit Crit 101 stuff that any 1st year university student learned. Anyone whose paid any attention to the criticisms of the genre for the past twenty years or so has seen this stuff a million times. It doesn't have to be proven. It is proved, well established and generally accepted. Good grief, even the jokey video I posted recognized every single thing I brought up. This isn't rocket science. [/QUOTE]
