all of the rape commanders (bad guys) are white men
tad unrealistic, wouldn't you say?
All of the rape commanders (bad guys) are white men
Actually it's verymuch just like in real life today.
The authors book was originally a critique of Muslims and Islamic society and what they do to women. She changed it up as the decades passed when it became fashionable to hate white men
Actually I'm her son and nothing you said is remotely true.
Sure sure, cupcake
Women are annoying
The most recent episode directed by Elizabeth Moss (the lead actress of the show) was so fucking hilariously dumb it reminded me of the final episodes of GoT
characters teleporting
exiles in Canada suddenly have a major military and airforce
said airforce flies into Gilead no issues at all
the handmaid's not being shot immediately after being found in the van
the bizarre "hanging" ceremony
all of the remaining leaders of NE Gilead ALL traveling on the SAME plane after a bunch of them just got assassinated (lmao)
WOMEN
manlet no chin military commander guy is willing to risk it all for quite possibly the ugliest woman ever put to cinema
make it make sense
Also wtf was up with the actress for June was she pregnant this season or what? Completely fat and wearing giant coats in every scene + weird angles
womyn writes book on how all sex is rape and men are evil
still lets chad fuck her and pops a kid out
curious !
man is capable of evil deeds
I'd say that's realistic. Whiteness doesn't remove accountability from evil. Are you implying that the white man dindunuffin?
The book is based on Islam.
The book is based on Islam.
The book is based on Islam.
The book is based on Islam.
Lol
wrong, Islam teaches respect for women, the opposite of what christianity does
Yes, white men, in fact, didn't do shit
Literally the least rapey race on earth
respect means cover your face and hair, whore, or you deserve to be gangraped
I didn't know that, haven't read the book. Looked at wikipedia for verification.
Her motivation for writing the novel was her belief that in the 1980s, the religious right was discussing what they would do with/to women if they took power, including the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Ronald Reagan administration.
Atwood was also inspired by the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1978–79 that saw a theocracy established that drastically reduced the rights of women and imposed a strict dress code on Iranian women, very much like that of Gilead.[17] In The Handmaid's Tale, a reference is made to the Islamic Republic of Iran in the form of the history book Iran and Gilead: Two Late Twentieth Century Monotheocracies mentioned in the endnotes describing the historians' convention in 2195.
You're partially correct.
It's based on Christianity on so far as mere hypotheticals (in the West).
It's based on Islam as it is actually practiced in reality.
I grew up in a Mudslime shithole and my birth country is closer to The Handmaid's Tale than America.
Makes sense. What muslims actually do in their shitholes is what christians can only dream of in their civilized countries. Alhamdulillah for law and order
This anon is right. The right-wing Christians under Reagan were a fucking menace in the 1980s when this book was released.
All I know of the Reagan era is all the banger songs Frank Zappa wrote about it.
"With a Ku-Klux muu-muu
In the back of the truck,
If you ain't Born Again,
They wanna mess you up, screamin':
"No abortion, no-siree!"
"Life's too precious, can't you see!"
(What's that hangin' from a neighbor's tree?
Why, it looks like 'colored folks' to me—
Would THEY do THAT . . .
They've been doin' it for years!
Seriously?)"
What in particular from that era is comparable and unique to Islamic theocracy of today?
You deserve transgenderism.
Lemme guess they still need men (simps) to do the fighting for them in exchange for their pussy at the time of their choice. Because women can't fight.
Wrong. It was always a batshit insane criticism of the Reagan administration.
the women in this show are capable of taking down a man twice their size who is armed with an assault rife despite being well into their 40's and fat
Hypothetical speaking, how would one get the job of rape commander
False
A future tale of all western nations where the white women open their arms to non whites and end up getting raped to death. SAD! many such cases
High Commander Laurence and the likes of Serena are far more interesting. The Angel of death that is June Osbourne is horrific.
Also seldom have I seen a show with such horrific world building.
The entire world is just America and Europe
maybe late-term abortions should be limited
OMG YOU WANT TO FORCE US ALL INTO RAPE FACTORIES
Reagan won a majority of female votes in his 2nd term btw
In what way
This is because in the book the books all the blacks are taken into concentration camps.
?
