Ok, so call me stupid or naive or whatever, but until I read this forum, I did not think Plum was raped. Assaulted yes—-I saw the scene as creepy fetish guy basically jumping or grinding up against her until he got off.... of I didn’t quickly delete this off my DVR I would go back and double check but was there any zipping up of pants?
Regardless, she was horribly violated and it should not have happened. But her friend insinuated she is/was a virgin so...I don’t know, if there was actual penetration I guess I expected more reaction? Crying out?
I won’t get too into it because I know there is a thread for the book, but yeah, found the book so much better than this version of the story. Plum in the last two episodes has come off as a spoiled teenager rather than a smart, educated twenty something who has been living in NYC on her own for a bit. And as someone who isn’t a size 2, I know the world is a cruel place when you don’t fit the mold. But considering such a high % of the US is overweight if not outright obese, I find the scenes of random strangers treating her like garbage just because of her weight do not ring true. But maybe that’s is part of it—-are we seeing this from Plum’s twisted perspective? Her new clothing style in the past two episodes would be enough to get a double take from me—-as someone else wrote she looked like she stepped out of a 1980s Lauper video.
hopefully they wrap this up in just one season...
