I'm disgusted.

[severity_softly]

I haven't read (until now) or participated in any of the "was or wasn't Hotch raped" debates, but I have heard about this sort of opinion before: some people seem to want this storyline WAY too much. And that makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

I haven't made up my mind one way or the other whether I think that's what happened, and I would be fine either way, but the "that storyline would just be SO-OMG-AWESOME" comments sort of make me feel queasy. I hadn't read them until it came up in my journal. You know, it's my journal, and I really sort of don't want to hear "OMG I HOPE HOTCH GOT RAPED". I really, REALLY don't. Do I think that storyline might be compelling? Sure. Do I think it makes sense and could have very well happened? Sure, if it's played right. Am I practically pissing my pants with joy at the idea that Hotch might have been brutally (as if there is any other kind of sexual assualt) raped at his weakest moment by the man he most wants to catch, and that he'll probably be scarred for life? No, and I think it's sort of a disgusting way to think.

Sorry if any of you all feel that way. I haven't read any reaction posts because I haven't made up my mind, so I might be pissing some of my flist off. But whatever. It's how I feel. I don't want to listen to squeefull discussion about rape, tyvm.

I am leaving this unlocked, but if anyone decides they want to argue that this sort of squee is acceptable, I may not reply, as I will probably get more disgusted. I hold nothing against the people who have left those comments mentioned. It's their opinion, and they're welcome to it. I just happen to find it all distasteful. If anyone decides it's acceptable to find these comments in my journal that I mentioned and start wank, however, IT'S NOT, and I may unfriend/ban people over it. You're warned.

I totally agree..and I don't think Hotch was raped. I think Foyet was just trying to 'impress' on Hotch that right at that moment he had total power over him and that all his skills as a profiler weren't doing him any good. He was mocking the profile and the BAU at the same time. (As to rape on prime -time..I believe that in an episode of "THe Shield", one of the characters was forced to perform a sex act on the man who had him prisoner. But I think that show was on cable, but that is one that I can think of.) Not that I'd want to see that happen to Hotch or anyone else, for that matter. So all this squee about 'we can't wait to see the rape-fic' is just sick and I don't blame you for being upset.
