YOU'RE LYING!!! STOP!!! SHUT UP!!! THIS IS NOT REAL, IT'S ALL A DREAM!!! THEY DECEIVED ME, IT'S ALL THEM!!

Chaz nearly recoiled back at the sudden yelling and panic. Cautiously approaching the person. "H-Hey I don't know, I didn't mean to lie but.. Whose they? Your awake I swear. And safe." He tried, he wasn't the best at comforting strangers but he made an effort these days. It was the least he could do.

*I shake Chaz and Stryker by the collars with both hands* Well, you both, admit it - WHO PUSHED ME?!!

Striker growls angrilly after the shaking. Chaz just making some surprised sounds before Striker snarls in your face "Don't know stranger.. But it soon going to be me if you DON"T GET YOUR HANDS OFF US!!!" He threatened, tail rattling in irritation

haven't seen you in a while

Yosuke thought: Oh but haven’t you? What if you have? What if I’ve been lurking? What if it’s that you never noticed?

Not that I would know!

When you have the abused victim actually state he’s depressed and has night terrors as well as revealing how unsafe he was in the prison environment

They also showed him with bruises on his face then the actual beating he got when he was in prison. He was curled up in a fetal position on the ground and was sobbing. How is that funny?!!!!

The prison episode was meant to be serious for the most part barring a scene or two which I prefer to ignore him completely.

Can’t wait for Kev to funnily trigger Vinny because he reminds him of his abusive father *cue laugh track*.

Guess they need to get Vinny out of the way first before they get to the amusing stuff, maybe? Whatever the case may be, will be giving it a pass.

It's very clear that all the Kev stuff was poorly planned from the start. They needed something to fill the time between the gorge and corriedale and it was like someone in the writers room was randomly like, "Oh I know! Prison husband!" but then there were too many cooks in the kitchen about how that would actually appear. So they just threw it all into a blender with sometimes serious stuff sometimes funny stuff and we ended up with what we got.

It's so obvious by how Kev just quickly disappeared right before corriedale that he was a last minute addition to that plot.

Just boggles my mind why they didn't use that time to build Robron's relationship up again organically. And they didn't need a third party. They had plenty to work with with both Aaron's trauma from John and Robert's trauma from prison to keep it an entertaining and beautiful story. And why they decided not to do that will always make no sense to me.

Laura just had a boner for Chris. Just like she obviously does for the guy who plays Graham too. That's the only explanation I can think of honestly - she just loves pandering to the old white dudes.

For me, the entire K plot is no different to what they did in hell year… the yuckfest that was Robert and Larry… filler… since they had to bide their time for what was coming next. Even the brief Sebastian plot was filler to give the lads airtime and a little bit of rare THEM time before Corriedale aired. And that’s the main problem… you had a fixed episode that would air on a specific date that was in the making for ages. So you had to fill those gaps somehow and unfortunately those gaps left gaping holes… Aaron’s trauma with J was never really addressed, officially diagnosing Robert with ptsd and getting him treatment as well as addressed K’s control over Robert during the brief breakup was completely ignored in the end. When it’s time to address those issues more closely, they for whatever reason get dropped. It comes off more like the show tires of a plot and just closes them sloppily without respectable resolution.

As for Ms. Powerpoint, she clearly has her favorites and she’s pushing them forward. And it’s not really a new practice but here it’s very blatantly done.

Genuine Question like could they not have written it as a comedy from the start ? Who was stopping them? I don’t understand how making light of abuse was the first thing that came to their head like how tasteless and talentless do you have to be to think a prison abused and traumatised man called a prostitute by his kid sister was a joke ?????????????????????????????????????????

Hmm, for whatever reason this didn’t post so, take two. I don’t understand the minds of either the producers or the storyliners if they consider trauma and abuse not a serious enough topic but to downplay as they moved forward with it. When you have the abused victim actually state he’s depressed and has night terrors as well as revealing how unsafe he was in the prison environment then move on to have his so-called brother use it against him physically… and never actually address it properly later (he wound him up… really?!?), we should’ve known, we were headed in the wrong direction then when K was gonna be introduced. To not understand it was life or death daily in there then grasp onto the irrelevant angle… money… which was clearly a front… just no words.

And then people act shocked that there assholes online who see abuse and violence and turn it into a joke 🤦🏻‍♀️ this is how you create incel entitled people. This is why you have people think what happened to Charity is “not that bad” because the show keeps showing bad things and rolling it as “not that bad” or turning it into a joke. They have a responsibility to educate people but no click baits and disgusting shock plots are what they are doing.

And this is why I am avoiding social media more and more because of these caustic and unsympathetic viewpoints. These are serious issues that should be taken seriously and not mocked/made light of whether you like or dislike the character. It’s no different with some belittling Mackenzie and ignoring the trauma he suffered at the hands of J because they hate the character and can’t see past that. And the educating part of it gets lost in it all especially when you don’t keep focus on the issue at hand but throw in twist after twist for the shock value of it all. They seem to fear staying the course wouldn’t be enough to keep you engaged but it usually is.
