lol soaps have romanticized rapists (and murderers and manipulators and etc...) and hand waved away their shitty actions for as long as i've been watching them. it's just something people have to accept.

I don't have to "Just accept" anything.

I didn't like it with Luke and Laura and I damn sure don't like it now.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
then you're going to keep getting angry watching soaps. the horrible soap blogs and more vocal fans love them some bad boys, the badder the better.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
OP here,

I'm aware of that, but like the other anon who responded to you (who cited Luke and Laura - which is THE pairing people use to excuse shitty rape pairings on soaps), I refuse to accept it, especially since you have morons in the fandom implying that she wasn't raped and that they wouldn't even consider it rape in real life.

I've seen enough of that soap to know those two had violent, consensual, enthusiastic sex from one end of his mansion to the other after their first encounter, with one table in the living room getting an extra workout. I know he blackmailed her into sex their first time and she didn't want it, but since then? I refuse to consider her his rape victim, and I doubt Sami would consider herself his rape victim.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
She was his rape victim. That first time.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
You do realize that this logic is part of why marital rape is still considered by a lot of people to be something that can't happen, right?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
She is still his rape victim regardless of whether she consented to him later on. That's why I could never get behind the pairing any more than I could get behind her being paired with Austin (whom she raped).

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
So they finally stopped making Sami date her rapist? Thank fuck. Thank a thousand fucks. I'm hot saying that just because they broke up Lucas and Sami, but after the coerced car sex, it ruined any possibility of EJ/Sami for me.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, finally - though they only did it when Alison Sweeney and James Scott both left the show within the same month. All I can say is I'm glad it's over, and I hope those assholes who have been rape apologists (one of which told me that I couldn't judge the pairing because my views were biased due to me being a rape survivor - smh) who keep claiming they're going to stop watching and commenting on the show do just that. The fandom was nice before they came along, even at the height of some of the more active shipping wars (using ones involving Bo/Hope and John/Marlena) it was still a pretty chill fandom overall (with many fanbases getting along even if they had competing ships - Lucas/Sami and Brandon/Sami fans come to mind, as well as Nicole/Brady and Chloe/Brady fans).

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't judge a pairing that had rape because you were a rape survivor? WTF? Sure, it leaves you with a dirty lens but it doesn't make a rape pairing any less fucked up, and you sure as hell can voice your opinion on it. It's one thing to enjoy a pairing and acknowledge that it's unhealthy, or that at least some aspects of it are, but justifying a gross act because it gets in the way of their tru wuv is just dumb.

Oh man, I remember the ugliness that exploded years ago when EJ did rape Sami, from both EJ/Sami shippers and Lucas/Sami shippers alike. The weird thing is, I don't mind EJ being redeemed, but I just didn't think (and still don't think) he should be redeemed through Sami, at least not romantically.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-15 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they killed EJ off and Sami moved with her kids (except for Will, who's been aged up into an adult) to California.

Not related to the secret, but since the topic of Sammy Brady and rape have been brought up, I want to say I am still bothered by how it has never been acknowledged that Sammy raped Austin. Although I am pleased with the overall handling of the recent storyline involving Eric being raped.

Yeah, I think Days wrote themself into a corner with that pairing and didn't realize until it was too late. I know that James Scott has serious issues with how the aftermath was handled (I particularly remember him commenting about EJ and Sami being alone together in scenes after the fact).

They did at least actually address it once but I think at that point the writers sort of wanted to pretend it never happened because they had figured out it was a mistake if they wanted the EJami pairing to work.
