HBO: The White Lotus

[Jorge]

Which isn't even a problem with gay incest, his least favorite kind

[tree_]

right. gay incest shouldn't even be classified as incest, by law really

[Farmer John]

The younger brother also seems like he has the hots for his sister. That little freak is out of control!

love is love mann

Not improving my opinion of HBO or HBO viewers.

if it's not hurting anyone, why do you care?

[BurtReynolds]

Who said it's not hurting anyone?

[tree_]

who said it is?

[Jorge]

Oh God don't tell me we're about to launch into an actual, in earnest debate about incest because of the jerkoff brothers from season 3 of The White Lotus

[BurtReynolds]

I wouldn't dream of it.

did you paint that?

[BurtReynolds]

yes

Game of Thrones had like 10x more incest and you seemed fine with it. Is it only a problem when it's gay incest? I see how it is

Fair point about GoT. It did bother me then as well, particularly in House of Dragon, but that had more to do with how young Milly Alcock looks, if I’m being honest. I think I was able to get past it because of the fantasy genre. Also, the closest it resembled life here is old timey European royalty, and they buggered each other regularly for their bloodline so it seemed somehow historically accurate despite being fantasy. White Lotus is modern. It just feels way different to me.

I don’t think the gay accusation is fair. I enjoyed the first two seasons of this show. I seem to remember the tour director in season one with his face buried in the pool boy’s ass. I don’t give a shit about the gayness. It’s not for me, but it doesn’t bother me morally. Incest does. That’s all.

How do you feel about murder? There's murder in the show as well.

I was just joking around with that post. You're obviously not weird for being bothered by incest. It's hardwired into our brains to be disgusted by it, which the show exploits for shock value. But The White Lotus is also largely a black comedy, so even if it's probably trying to make some sort of point about learned projections of hyper-sexual masculinity in young men (or whatever the fuck), it's also often pretty silly and funny.

It bothers me a lot the closer to real life the show is. If it’s John Wick, I can watch it and eat popcorn at the same time. True crime docs, on the other hand, I can’t even watch. I recently saw a reel of some kid confessing to murdering and dismembering a homeless guy and his parents found the head and hands in his closet, and it’s bothered me every day since. I’m a very sensitive twat.

you're also quite, ... daft

100% of the time, yes.
