TotallyTinkerbell wrote: I'm not comparing Lexa to Bellamy. That whole argument is pointless and I'm not getting into it. I pointed out many other crimes, and you picked Bellamy vs Lexa out of that entire list. I'm just saying everyone has killed, at this point. For survival. Kill or be killed. Survival of the fittest. Theme of the show.

And if you think Lexa did nothing wrong, she was raised like that, and that Bellamy is a monster with no regrets, then you fail to see the point of the show. There are no good guys, there are no bad guys. Characters make mistakes, characters redeem themselves, and the entire show is set in a grey area.

If you're concerned about me not condescending a character and slut-shaming them, then idk what to tell you. That threesome was the most Bellamy thing to do at that point in his story. It totally fit. Was it needed? No. Was it disgusting? No. But truthfully we don't know much about it either. So I just think it's stupid to go and judge that and call him disgusting and criticize his actions, all the while ignoring all the good things, and excusing other characters on the show for doing equally monstrous things. Bellamy isn't perfect. Nobody on this show is.

& I have legit NEVER heard Eliza compare Clarke to Katniss. This show is in fact not marketed towards Hunger Games. In fact it was promoted as BattleStar Galactica meets Lord of the Flies. All the reviews at the beginning of the show pointed out how it was much darker then normal teen science-fiction, even dark for the CW standards. Yes, the hunger games is about empowering young female with morals. I actually liked it. And that is something that it has in common with the show. But The 100 is much darker. Taya everyone did bad things to survive but Bellamy is the only one who never learned that his actions were wrong. Bellamy Blake is the definition of a sociopath. He doesn't better himself, he makes himself worse. If he were a decent person, he would have showed real remorse for those killings but he didn't because he believes he was right. Regarding Lexa and the bomb I agree with Omega Werewolf. She actually wasn't even the one to bomb them though so you have to remember that. She just knew not long beforehand that it would happen but she did nothing to warn them because realistically, she couldn't save them. The only way she could have helped is by giving herself and Clarke away. But she didn't want to do that to put Clarke in danger. She even said to her "not everyone. Not you" when referring to the people she let burn. I am not justifying her actions by any means. But I am saying Taya, that if you were in her shoes and were constantly faced with these life or death decisions, I would think you would struggle and make bad choices just as much.

As for Bellamy, my point is that his decisions to torture and kill were done from his own free will, he didn't have to make those choices because he had to like Lexa. He did because he WANTED to. That's the difference.

And to both you and Omega Werewolf I think your attitudes towards sex are insane. You both think sex minus the love and a man sleeping with two women at the same time is acceptable? I'm sorry but that is the attitude is naive, lacks basic moral standards and dignity and is plain WRONG. Taya you also didn't answer my question regarding this. These things do reflect real life issues. Now you can both answer me, what if a little baby was to be brought into that mess or two even considering it is two women. I mean they are not even practicing safe sex so stds are also definitely on the cards. Both of you answer me. If Bellamy had got them pregnant what would your attitude be? And don't answer me it didn't because if it was in the real world it would and has happened. Tell me what you would do about the baby? Would you both be so sick in the head to tell me that this would have a happy ending?

Bellamy Blake deserves every inch of shaming he gets. Women should not be viewed as blow up dolls but as human beings. And he needs to stay the hell away from Clarke. He is messed up in so many ways and yes Taya, I do believe more so than even the average character on this show. But do enlighten me about your theory on such "equal monstrosities" that were committed by others. Was anyone else treating women like human blow up dolls too that I missed or something along those lines? Yes Omega Werewolf it is my opinion of casual sex minus the love and I hope you were never the product of it because it will ruin your life. "It's just life and it's no big deal"?! COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG.

Taya I didn't say everyone was perfect on the show but not everyone is as messed up in so many ways as Bellamy. And Taya, you say "we don't know much about it" regarding the threesome? We know enough. It is actually mentioned on this wikia and I can tell you one of the girls is Roma Braggs and it is complete with a photo. Like I said, we know enough. And we SHOULD ALL know that it is wrong. If not, I can do nothing but feel sorry and shame for you.

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it does not exist Taya. The 100 has been compared to lots of things (and actually many of the things it had been compared to like Lord of the Flies, the Hunger Games has also been compared to). But when it first aired, there were LOTS of Hunger Games comparisons because it was the time when every dystopian future project released was compared and contrasted to THG. But if you watch one of the cast's very first interviews on youtube about the show, it is mentioned there. They are also sitting on a couch, Thomas McDonnell was there too and Jason, Marie, Eliza, and the interviewer asks them about its similarities with Hunger Games. Eliza goes on to draw comparisons between Clarke and Katniss, saying also that she definitely got a "Katniss vibe" from her character. And in an article I recently read about season 4, Eliza was interviewed and in the end she says something like Katniss didn't have time for relationships guys "referring to the fact that Clarke is too busy saving the world right now too". But if you don't believe me I can try to find it again and post the link here. So basically yes, The 100 was marketed towards The Hunger Games fans and comparisons have been drawn. The 100 is darker, that's true. But you say you knew that nobody would die in THG? Were you so hard hearted that you weren't shocked and bawled when Rue, Finnick and little Primrose were killed, oh and Cinna (although I cried reading it rather than seeing it because it was poorly done on screen). But basically most people I know didn't have the attitude you do.
