NYCMonster1984 100 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 There were gay stereotypes, boo f*cking hoo. He's such a SJW, I can't take his sh*t writing seriously.EDIT: Oh he worked for Gawker. He's f*cking garbage. As a writer myself, I found it offensive how badly written this was. Where does Vanity Fair find these people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 So is murder and torture. Making a big deal out of a rape scene but ignoring all the deaths in the series is quite illogical.TBH I felt Empire's first episode was shoving gay themes down people's throat. It made no sense. The rape scene wasn't doing that at all. Anyone who has had an addition can tell you it f***s you badly. And I believe the rapist is the addiction demon. It was a metaphor. Sorry Drew I quoted the wrong person. Stupid iPhone. Lol I was responding to this post. 'The show is far from garbage, but yeah, this reviewer is right about a lot of things. The rape was too long and trying too hard to "shock", and the show just feels like Ryan Murphy's personal fantasy. We get it Ryan, you're gay. Forcing it down the viewer's throats isn't gonna do anything to help LGBT culture--it's actually gonna turn people off from it.'

Shaney 5,515 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I get retro glam hollywood vibes from the show. Living for it. I guess some people love it or hate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIVA 666 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If I'm being honest with myself, which is exceptionally hard when it comes to Gaga, I didn't care much for this first episode. It seemed to lack direction and storytelling. The only things I loved were seeing Gaga being outrageous, because she's Gaga as well as my favorite artist. I'm sincerely hoping the rest of the season drastically picks up, but as far as first episodes go, I wasn't impressed. I so desperately want it to be great though. We're all Stronger Together!

Whispering 18,865 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 "After that scene, I took to Twitter, as one does, to complain that the scene was basically treated as a joke, because isn’t gay rape so funny." Was it funny when he did this? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-womack/james-franco-gawker_b_7816032.html So...Richard Lawson is highly offended at a fictional rape scene in a Horror show, but he isn't bothered when he makes up a violent rape story in real life about a real person and tries to pass it off as real...for fun? What an asshole! "Once again, I repeat: the author has since admitted that this was all baseless. Gawker manufactured a story that accused someone of rape--not to mention other intimate partner abuse--apparently for clicks and giggles, then delivered it over four posts spaced more than a month apart. And those links, as of this morning, were all still active." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not everyone has to enjoy the show or agree with the good reviews and disagree with the negative ones but most of the points he made are ridiculous. He could have said that the rape scene was unnecessary or just bad instead of saying that Ryan was trying to make fun of it because he obviously wasn't. I don't even think that character is gay and the demon has no gender so it was not "gay rape". He used Ryan's persona more than once to bash the episode. He said Evan was cute but he wasn't in the episode. He said the series marginalize cross-dressers something I have never seen on the 5 seasons. It's just a bunch of complains about Ryan Murphy disguised as a review. I don't see why he and some people are talking about his s-xuality when the season hasn't shown anything gay/homoerotic yet.

aaronyoji 2,054 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 i mean......kinda true, most of it. i dont agree with the P-C ness of this writer's view point, the whole "nothing can be represented in art" approach, however what he/she says about the show and its messiness is spot on. the first two seasons are practically unwatchable, but for SOME reasons, the public chooses the most odd things to praise. I actually found the premier of hotel less chaotic and less dense than past seasons, it left intrigue and i felt the different plots kinda of met up at a certain point towards the end. That in itself for a ryan murphy show is astounding to say the least lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
