them sleeping together while one was drunk enough to throw up weirded me out ngl

sadly that's often true in real life, but father arnon doesn't look like he's doing it for personal interest. I've met a few priests that actually care about people, although they're not the majority.

and I agree with you, I'm an atheist and I was raised catholic, I was just saying that the problem is religion as a system and not religious people as individuals, because they do believe they're doing the right thing

I think he got a truth. father arnon really believes in that, so it's not exactly manipulative. he was comforting tanrak as a catholic would do. it's fucked up from the outside but people do really think that if you behave well you'll meet your loved ones again in heaven.

I was afraid to watch episode five because I was expecting high drama. Instead, it was devastating in a much quieter way than I had anticipated. It made me feel numb and nauseous. As a closeted Catholic kid in an unsafe home, I used to write down my thoughts and then burn them in the fireplace for fear that my family might read them. I would wake up in a panic at night and compulsively check every page of my notebook to make sure I had got rid of everything. You kind of learn to wear the shame like a second skin. Even after all these years, it still lives in my body somewhere. You just get used to it; you don't realise how bad it is. It was only when I read people's comments on the episode that I realised how unfair it was to grow up in constant fear. That's also why representation matters.

I think he said it in a very catholic 'I am worried about your soul' way. it's still bad but it makes sense in that environment.

I think the point is to show it doesn't really matter in the eyes of father arnon (and god) if he's in love with a boy or with a girl. when you decide to become a priest, you're supposed to be selfless and to love everyone the same amount because you're representing god on earth. tanrak's sin is that his love is selfish, he likes barth more than other people, feels jealousy, spends his time thinking about him instead of praying, talking with him and writing notes instead of studying, he breaks rules with him, and so on. that's why father arnon asks him if if his feelings are getting him closer to god or the opposite.

lmao they had me at the scene where they touched each other's hands for the first time and had their little involuntary romantic moment AS THEY WERE BOTH GRABBING ONTO JESUS'S ABS TO KEEP A GIANT CROSS FROM FALLING

fun fact: in that final picture, most of the people are someone Leo's hit on at some point, mostly unsuccessfully

undernegotiated kinks are the backbone of the bl industry I swear

I had already closed the discussion in my previous comment, so let me be clearer: I'm not going to engage with disingenuous arguments like that one, also considering first, I've never said I'm okay with minors being murdered in media, you just assumed it and rolled with it; and two, I've already talked about the way the public generally consumes sex scenes. The fact that you've resorted to whining at me to 'shut up' is telling in itself. Do you enjoy challenging others but not being challenged? You shouldn't have started this conversation, then. Byee

Of course I am saying it, who else, you asked for my opinion lol. I have every right to drop something if it feels immoral and uncomfortable. And yes, it is different, first because of the way it's shot, no intimacy coordinators whatsoever, and second because of the effect it's meant to have on the public. Legal and moral are not the same thing, go push your pedophilic logic somewhere else.

They cast a teenager and had him do super explicit scenes with an older guy, it's just not right. At 18 you should be protected a little before you reach the maturity to decide how comfortable you are with sex scenes, the agencies and troupes already have power over you as a young actor, it's harder to refuse so they shouldn't propose that kind of role to someone so young.

okay chatgpt

I dropped it after I found out one of the main characters was only 18 when it was filmed. They were so wrong for that.
