SKANK 14,288 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I don't think they raped her, they just cut her legs off right? Although I just remembered it was sort of ambiguous whether Penny was raped by the freaks in the first episode. I was never positive what that scene was about I could have sworn they d--gged Elsa, she wasn't completely coherent when they had s-x with her, before they cut off her legs. I'm pretty sure she was raped. This conversation is so gross. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 He didn't glorify rape in anyway. It came off as horrific to me. I don't know what everyone else was watching. No one bats an eye when a male centered comedy has men get women drunk to **** them and its glorified as funny and a bro thing... But AHS is the bad guy. Okay Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagz 2,572 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I was wondering if it would trigger people while I was watching it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The very same people who promoted and raved about Till It Happens To You which is about this very same thing are now like, "rape and s-xual abuse victims need to stfu and get over it and deal." Classic. Way to show your true colors, compassionate bunch. that video showed rape and dramatized it? AHS didn't say rape was good or awesome. It showed a dark side to humans. Should they cancel the series because there is murder. What about a show about cancer? Should that be taken off the air because other people have had cancer. Art is not about censoring the dark sides of humans. id be more upset if it was a bunch of old guys raping a woman and then the show making them seem like the hero. AHS did not do that.

codymonster 7,937 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The thing is, everyone is affected by everything in one way or another. Someone who has had a family member or close friend murdered will be triggered by murder. Someone who has been physically abused by someone else will be triggered by domestic abuse. Yes, this is sad and unfortunate. But no, American Horror Story shouldn't censor itself for the sake of not wanting to disturb someone. The show is a self-professed show about murder, s-x, and the sick parts of human life. It's not like they're glorifying rape or showing it to be a good thing. The man died for god's sake American Horror Story simply touches on the dark side of human life, and makes commentary on it. If you do not like this type of thing, you do not have to watch. Your friend was triggered by watching the scene and turned off their TV. There is no need to attack AHS. They did the right thing; turned off the TV and did not watch the show. We as people just need to stop throwing the blame on other things. We are very much in control of what we view and take in. We don't need to attack everything we do not like. Unless of course they are making light or fun of serious issues such as this; which AHS was NOT doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 11,645 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I thought the rape scene was very powerful and (unexpectedly) moving. Paulson and Greenfield were both breathtaking. It was really the kind of bit that you would only see in experimental theatre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty 775 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Sounds silly but Aliens really really scare me, and when I saw them in season 2 out of nowhere I was like OMG HOLY CRAP! but then I thought, well it's a horror show, and I know it doesn't compare but there's always a rape scene, maybe not on Freakshow, but that scene where the lizard girl was being gang banged disturbed me tooo. In any case there's a reason there's a warning and if rape scenes trigger you, you shouldn't watch cuz i think there will be more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin 24,441 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I love how there are like 10 extremely violent murders in that episode, yet somehow the rape scene is the offensive one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusian 4,686 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I think that scene was unnecessary it was for the story. it was the addiction demon. that was how they introduced him so it was necessary. but they could've done it a different way WELCOME TO THE TRAGIC KINGDOM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaisHotAF 343 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It's a horror show.... Come on! People can be triggered by a lot of things. Murder (if they witnessed something awful), violence, child abduction, orgies. If they censored the show for "triggering" people it would just be the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Probably on Grindr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 96,571 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 He obviously cannot do warning, because it will spoil the story. Also, there are warning and rating before show starts, so viewing of the show is at your own discretion really.
