Has anyone watched the Purge tv show? Good god it gets worse with every episode. Unlikeable characters, terrible acting and dialogue. The most recent episode truly takes the cake as it shoves over-the-top SJW themes down our throat.
Jane is an executive who has been held back from advancing in her male-dominated company and she winds up hiring a hit-woman to kill her boss, but then has a change of heart and tries to stop the hit during Purge Night. Braving the dangerous streets she eventually makes it to the home of her boss only to find out he's already had her hitwoman killed.
He then has her dragged into a room where a bunch of women in cocktail dresses all have their hands tied up and are displayed as "living works of art" and essentially objectified for the pleasure of men.
Where this becomes ridiculously laughable is that her boss has rules on what is permitted. The women have to be fully clothed, there's no nudity. In addition, there's no penetration allowed, men are only allowed to grope or stare creepily at the women. And the groping they show essentially looks like a police pat down to check for weapons. The women aren't physically harmed at all and are let go at the end of the night and there's no rape.
But of course Jane starts screaming about what an animal he is, calls him a rapist, etc.
The whole scene is just so over-exaggerated and in the end she winds up being freed by the poor mans batman, a vigilante who lost his welding job due to corporate downsizing or a change in the economy and she winds up picking up a pistol and shooting her creeper boss in the skull, instantly killing him. Because, you know, over-the-clothes groping and holding women back professionally is deserving of execution I guess.
What's funny is I had always wondered why the various iterations of the Purge I had seen only showed murder on a night when all crime was legal, and hadn't tackled the issue of rape. And then when they finally introduce it, they classify pg-13 over-the-clothes pat downs and creepy staring into "rape" to try and win favor with the #MeToo movement.
Anyway, I'm hoping to see some of the heroes die violent deaths at least, as not one of them has given me a reason to care about their well being.
