first of all, i must truly commend you for being so blind to everything but the ~plot~ (which, i should mention, is riddled with countless holes each the size of texas, so...i've still got no idea what you're going on about) that you can boil down this entire problematic episode to "decent story progression." you must be sleeping very soundly at night. teach me your ways.

you and the 2 other completely clueless people watching the show can go ahead and sit idly by while people relapse and people get triggered and people start killing themselves because they can't stop cycling through their past experiences with abuse and rape. you sit there all comfortable and cozy in your seat of privilege because you've never experienced these particular acts before, and you preach. you go and tell these people "rape...what rape? lol there was no rape." you go and tell these people who want to slit their own wrists and who want to end their life that they don't need the suicide hotlines being circulated around right now. um, why don't you go and alleviate yourself of your ignorance. no, don't use the "it's just a tv show" excuse; tv is a medium that's being broadcast to a real, live audience who have real, live issues. i don't know if you're just ignorant or you just don't care about other people at all, but that's probably the second most baldfaced, outright dismissive comment i've seen someone make since 310 aired, and that's only because i've seen someone else say that people who have been triggered by this episode are "faking it" and are "the worst one[s] though full on dyke sjw ugly ass." i mean, at least you didn't resort to slurring at people. good job. a+. here's a gold medal. have a nice night. Listen this is a show about survival and surivaval at all costs, focusign on the people who arrive on earth from space. Just like shows as for example game of thrones they have situatiosn that can offend and hurt: but guess what: in world where survival is the ultimate goal this would happen, it happens in real life too and this show shows that aspect. If you dont like that the show and wanted one where nothing terrible ever happens than why on earth are you wathcing this? this is a show about survival and not a show that shows elements that happen in real life that are really bad and thats is such a good thing: Because guess what: if you dont show that problems like these exist they are harder to deal with in life, therefore showing harsh things is not necessarily in the long run a bad thing: because than you aknwowledge these problems exist in real life and make sure they are actually disucussed and dealt with, rather than never showing rape or suicidal elements nad acting like that doesnt exist in real life. (The whole lexa death trope and killing minority characters thing does not fall under this because thats actually a thing to criticise, unlike what you are criticising btw)
