I'm sorry that audiences enjoy sex and violence, anon. I'm not sure how you or the majority of this comm managed to dodge that tendency of human nature, but good on you guys. Keep fighting the good fight.

I don't mind violence. And I like sex. I'd just appreciate more female-gaze sex or at least equal gaze sex. Everything is always so male-gaze as if women don't care about sex at all. Do these showrunners even know that women are watching their shows? Women like sex too.

It's entirely possible to enjoy some level of sex and violence without wanting an adaptation to double down on it at the expense of the rest of the story. Your passive aggressive tone is a bit misplaced.

Not quite OP here because someone harvested my comment, but I’m fine with sex and don’t mind violence. But I could do without shows where sex and violence are used as a kind of plot wallpaper. Especially when they’re combined into rape scenes that are still presented as sexy.

One of the plot points of the Pern books is that riders are telepathically bonded to their dragons, so when dragons mate, not only do their riders, everyone in the vicinity comes (pun intended) along for the ride. And thanks to McCaffrey’s more or less bodice-riper sensibility, it’s presented as kind of a rapey and dangerous thing.

I would be fine with basically a raucous orgy where everyone’s clearly having a) an awesome time and b) all the sex. I would turn off the tv if it was presented as frightened people getting cornered and pawed at. I’m okay with someone getting punched or stabbed, but I’d be watching for dragons, not torture porn.

And you just *know*, any adaptation made would be most likely the later *and* would also do it's absolute and *utter* best to make 1 million percent sure that we knew that it was ONLY M/F SEX ONLY ONLY ONLY OMG NO HOMO.

I'm totally down for the wyer just all rolling around in a huge pit of furs, everybody touching and fucking and kissing and laughing and not caring what body is what, and afterward jumping into hot baths and eating and dozing and it all being a delightful sort of Sense8 orgy, like you said.

But not what Hollywood currently thinks of as 'sexy', and what they'd do with a Pern adaptation...I shudder to think.

Ditto! That's it then, we totally have to get the Sense8 producers to do the adaptation.
