This last episode of TWD actually enraged me. The male characters on that show are just abhorrent. It confuses me that people are calling Lori a slut. In light of what we found out, the only bad guy in that situation is Shane who basically thought she was too weak/dumb to make the right choice for herself and her kid, so he took it upon himself to tell her that her husband was dead thereby taking the choice to leave out of her hands. Because he clearly knew best. Because he's a dude.

As for her sleeping with him. They're in the middle of an apocalypse and she thought her husband was never coming back. She's not a slut, she's human and freaked out. I don't understand fandom sometimes.

I'm not going to continue watching the show. Between the racist/misogynistic brothers and the wife abusing jackass in the last ep, I've seen more than enough. Add to that Shane and even Rick who apparently thinks the difference between men and women is that ladies are cold hard bitches and men never say cruel things---I mean, has he seen his show?

The whole thing makes me feel ranty. And the idea that of all of the horrible characters on that show the one fandom is attacking is Lori just boggles my mind.
