Brief thoughts on the moral messages I got from Dollhouse

[sqbr]

WARNING: Show is very tiggery, my thoughts on it may be also.

Rape/slavery/sex slavery is sexy. And women enjoy it. And want it.

...but it's still wrong. Because.. it it just is.

Also, all women are whores. Yes, all of them.

But they can't help it. A nice man should come save them from themselves! Or maybe he shouldn't.

See also It depends on what you pay, which is much creepier now I've seen more than the first 2 episodes (I got stuck on episode 3 because it is simply bad, rather than "Has potential which is mostly wasted in skeeviness" like the rest of the show) and Working in the Dollhouse.

I've got friends who raved about how wonderful it was, but the idea of the series made me shudder and I've never seen it (nor will I).

Bits of it are pretty good, there's some cool playing around with the nature of self. But for me at least this is far outweighed by the icky bad wrongness.
