The fact there are assholes who continue to rec Jessica Jones to me, even AFTER being reminded several times that I'm seriously triggered by rape, just makes me wish I could reach through the internet and actually stab people. Yes, I know it's very well done and realistic, that's why I don't want to watch it. No television show is worth aggravating my PTSD when I'm FINALLY getting to the point I can watch TV again without having someone pre-screen it for me.

Are they by any chance the same sort of people who rag on stuff like Game of Thrones for how it handles rape?

If so, lol.

(lol at the stupidity and hypocrisy, that is. Not what they're doing to you. That's really horrible of them.)

Oh wow that is so many levels of fucked up.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the "we NEED to support Jessica Jones because it's ~IMPORTANT. And that's more important then our discomfort or personal tastes" people.

I'm so sorry.

The thing is... I think there's people who find comfort in visiting stories and movies that relate to an experience they've had. So they can't understand not wanting to just because you went through it.

(For instance, that's why cancer storylines are so popular. Most people know someone who's been affected by it directly or indirectly, so they can relate, and if it's affected them directly, they want to read/watch all about it as a source of comfort. And yes, there is a HUGE difference between that and triggering material,* but they may not respect the difference.)

*Although there's plenty of people who are sick of everything being cancer cancer cancer, too. Like me.

SA - NOT excusing them, btw. They're still being petty assholes for not understanding why it's painful for you.

Yeah, no, I get that some people are comforted by seeing stories they can relate to, showing them they aren't alone, etc, and I'm happy the show exists so those people can see it. I'm just very much not one of those people, and I've explained that to them. It's just like, pushing it on people whose mental health can't handle it is really counterproductive.

I think you should watch it. Not for yourself, but it is ground breaking and if you want more support for women in the media, you need to support things like this.

what the hell is wrong with you

Fuck off, a real person's mental health is more important than a fucking tv show.

You might have missed it, but the OP did say it triggers her PTSD. That's not a small thing.

OP here to point out he's male, actually.

Every time you post this, I put off watching Jessica Jones by one year.

Everyone who took this MRA-pretending-to-be-a-feminist troll comment seriously is an idiot.

No more of an idiot than you yourself, dear radfem.

Nope to both :)

yes feminists are never mean ever!!

Yes that's exactly what I said.

What is reading tone? What is forced imitation? What is knowing how to tell the difference between a badly done tryhard and an actual mean feminist?

I don't agree with the 'everyone is an idiot' bit, but I do agree that this person is obviously a troll. And probably some asshole making a shitty attempt to pass him(?)self off as his own concept of a militant feminist.

yep. there are a million of those these days, and they're all so damn boring.

Eyup Called it.

shut

the

fuck

up

Oh geeze, I'm sorry people are doing that to you, that's not cool. I liked JJ but honestly it's not one of those shows I'd just casually recommend to people, the subject matter is pretty dark and not for everyone. It's especially dickish for them to ignore your explanations though, what the hell?

You do you and keep yourself safe.
