Day 13: A scene/moment that pissed you off?
This show had a lot of moments that pissed me off, so it’s pretty hard to pick one.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD:
The graveyard scene between Bill and Sookie in season 1, which was referred to as a RAPE scene by Stephen Moyer in a 2009 interview.
The revelation that Bill was a procurer for Sophie Anne, and that he intentionally let the Rattarays beat Sookie to death so he could drug her with his blood and spend months manipulating and gaslighting Sookie.
Tara’s rape at the hands of Franklin in season 3.
Jason’s gang-rape in season 4 and the fact that fan reviewers like Doux Reviews and Persephone Magazine came out and said it was Jason’s karma/comeuppance. To say nothing about how it felt like the show was victim-blaming Jason for getting raped.
Tommy’s rape of Luna in season 4, and how the show glosses over Luna’s feelings about being violated in favor of making Tommy look sympathetic before he died.
The show trying to present Bill’s relationship with Sookie as romantic when it was actually toxic and abusive.
Bill’s treatment of Jessica in general, which ranged from neglectful at best to abusive at worst.
Pretty much everything about Bill’s character, and how the books and the show constantly made measly excuses for his awful behavior.
Hoyt joining a Hate Group in season 5 and debating about murdering Jessica when she was tied up and not in a position to fight back. Everything about the scene made Hoyt look entitled and misogynistic
The unnecessary introduction of Violet’s character, and her creepy/abusive with Jason.
Everything about Season 7 in general.
Eric’s sexual assault of Willa in season 6 when he puts his hand in between her legs without her consent while she was being glamoured by him.
Tara’s death in season 7, and how it was used as a plot point to absolve Lettie Mae for being a shitty mother.
There are probably more moments I haven’t thought of, but these are the ones that come to mind.
