"IN HEAT," "slutty" and "like some kind of sex abuse victim" ... these phrases do not belong in the same sentence, describing the same woman. Or, um, in any other context really. Ugh.
WORD.
It's just such a level of fail, I struggle to even comprehend it. When I first made this post, I actually felt uncomfortable pasting it, you know? Like, repeating it. As in, if I'd had this conversation with all of you face to face, I don't think I could have brought myself to even say these words it's so fucked up.
Thanks for the reassurance on the stupidity front, but...I'm not beating myself up horribly. It's more like righteous anger if that makes sense? Like, I do understand why I thought what I did when I thought it, and I don't think I was being entirely unreasonable in my opinions at the time. But due to his bizarre later behaviour, while I do feel stupid, most of the emotional energy from that feeling has been channeled righteously back towards Jacob. So I feel like I'm in a good place of using my feelings of stupidity to metaphorically beat up on HIM not on myself. WAHEY.
I've thought for a while that he ventured into gender-fail territory when it came to female characters he didn't like *cough* Cally *cough*,
For serious, when I read that my first thought was, "So wait, the Doctor is not a Amy's sexual abuser, but Amy is the slutty sex abuse victim who tried to rape her sexual abuser? Is that how this is gonna work, Jacob?"
Poor Cally. I do wonder how much fandom would have hated her if Jacob hadn't branded her white, racist trash whose highest ambition was to get the shit beaten out of her.
