Traveling At The Speed Of Rage

[redbrunja]

During a conversation with the_sun_is_up  (prompted by guess what) I realized that since I stopped caring about Naruto, it's been a long time since I've really ranted.

So give me some suggestions, and we'll see what sticks. It's like a drabble meme, only with rage.

The thing is, she wants sex, but she is pretty much completely unable to vocalize it directly. (Which isn't in itself a bad thing, because it is rather realistic considering her background.) And then the one time she actually does have sex, well, she was not exactly herself, and then she doesn't remember it at all afterward.

Not only was she not herself SHE WAS WITHOUT HER POWERS.

At least Confessors don't have to worry about rape. Or do they?

Well, they do in the books, but the books are pretty rapetasitc in general.

So I still feel like it's a mixed message. And there's also that Cara has been shown on several occasions to have entirely different values from the rest of the group, who are generally portrayed as right and good. If Cara's values are not right and good, what does that say about her sexuality?

I would actually partially disagree with this. While Cara has been shown as having different values than the rest of the group, (especially as the season goes on) a lot of times her values are shown as being reasonable (I'm thinking of her insistence on getting the stone of tears/being plot driven and "Princess" which was all about Cara having the right idea about how to go about things. So I agree that Cara is a mixed message, but it is definitely a MIX of positive and negative representation.

I think, about the Keeper having a special hell for those who worked in pleasure, or something like that. So basically prostitutes and the like. And that may have been just a threat to get her to do what he wanted, but really? Prostitutes deserve their own special hell?

If that is true, that pisses me off so much. So much.
