'Shells'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
And the show dealt with the violations that Willow did of her relationship with Tara. It admitted it was wrong and abusive.
This show doesn't, and I'm startled by how many fans don't see that these women would not have had sex with Damon if he hadn't compelled them, therefore he magicked his way into their knickers, and that's not consensual.

Yep. And Tara left her. There were consequences.
ahh...wasn't posting here then and i don't really recall it being mentioned at the Beta back in the day. of course, i had stopped reading a lot of topical stuff then too because of the crazies at the board.

yes and no. i mean, when Tara figured out what had happened, she left. she still came back though.
you're using "women", but we've really only seen it happen with Caroline, which isn't to say that he hasn't done it before or after. just that we haven't seen it.
personally, he wouldn't have to use any magic on me. vampire or no.

How is that yes and no? Women return to abusive relationships all the time - it doesn't negate that abuse is happening, it just means that people frequently act against their own best-interest when they're in love.

Much like Owen using the alien whatsit in the pilot of Torchwood, then. Yeah - I'd call that rape.

No, there's the reporter (?) in this past season. He also compelled her when she blanched and then continued having his merry way with her. I'm not sure if there were others. But there were at least two.

Ayup.
Sex pollen is noncon, and sex pollen wielded with intent is rape.

I never could really like Owen after that pilot episode. To me he always remained the creepy rapist.
How is that yes and no?
I just mean that if the show was trying to send a message that rape is wrong then they ultimately failed. both by having Tara go back to Willow and again when Buffy forgives Spike and then tells him she loves him.

we've since been shown that she knows what's going on and continues to stick around though. that's who i was referring to when i mentioned Andie.

We have? Admittedly, I watch VD with half an eye, but I had the impression she only stuck around because she was being compelled.
