Re: 13 reasons why TW: Rape discussion

[(Anonymous)]

That does sound like galling viewing.

Can I ask a couple of questions about the rape scenes? If it's too hard for you I completely understand.

I used to get triggered by rape scenes (actual PTSD triggered not the internet meaning of triggered). That hasn't happened in years but I'm still, understandably, quite wary of it.

Do the perpetrators get their comeuppance? And how graphic are the scenes?

The rape scenes are pretty dang graphic (you don't see, like, penetration but it's heavily suggested), the sounds are realistic (groans and stuff), and they seem to go on for a while (not in a glorified kind of way but in a "this thing is happening and we're not shying away from showing it" kind of way).

It's suggested that the perpetrator will get his comeuppance but there's not any legal repercussions shown and some of the other characters defend him/his actions/don't believe that he raped anyone.

So yeah, I hope this is helpful!

It is. Thank you!

Ummm some people get comeuppance, some do not. It's not proportional either. Depends on your definition of comeuppance...and some of it is a bit "in the air" in the final scene. I'm not sure if left open ended for a season 2 or for artistic reasons. I would hope that the person who can deliver the final comeuppance does so. The parents might be able to as well.

The rape is graphic. It focussed mostly on her face and is framed to make you as uncomfortable as possible. There's no mistaking it is rape. I had to mute it and look away a lot.

There is another rape, that flashbacks happen a lot on and it is more fragmented and you see a lot of the girl's reaction to realising what happened/mental status. It is very sad.

There was only one rapist, and a lot of the episodes people are fearful of it coming out about him/don't believe he has. I think towards the end most of them start realising he has but don't know how to handle it or address it (imo they ARE kids? Like I thought...it's a bit heavy to expect kids to know what to do or handle).

There's a lot of showing not telling, so that's just my interpretation though.

Also the whole series is from the girls' POV via tapes and so...she's not 100% correct on situations at times, not a reliable narrator but her depression gets to you so it's pretty good at showing how she saw things.

Overall, I found it a very disorientating, surreal and unsettling show to watch. I wouldn't say it's a happy ending but the parents get...soemthing resembling the start of closure.
