Westworld

Written by the admirable Michael Kryten.

Evangelical eh? No kidding.

I really like the film. Yul Brynner is fucking terrifying. And with a cracking set of jugs on him!

Not sure if that link is for my benefit but I’ll assume it is. Thanks! But I knew you meant the series.
The series is based on the film.
If you’ve not seen the film, I’d give it a whirl. You might enjoy it. It’s a western in the same way that Gunmen is a western. I.e. not really. And it inspired one of the old, brilliant Simpson’s episodes.
With a dry, cool wit like that…

I concur, with my official admin hat on. That’s not on.

I’m sorry this happened here, locusceruleus (if that is your real name). It was a fair question and that response was unwarranted.

THE END? THE SMEG IT IS

locusceruleus – A genuine response to your question.

A friend of mine recommended the show to me, so I asked her and she said the following:

“You don’t see it but some of the bots are victims. It’s implied rather than visual (It’s what some of them are there for, you can kill and do whatever you want with them). You see one of them thrown around and kind of old style “what I’m gonna do to you” type thing. There is a lot of nakedness when the robots are being worked on also. They are treated as objects not people. Not sure if that’s triggering.”

She also said the first episode is a pretty good example, and if you’re ok with that, you’ll be ok with the rest of it. Hope this helps!

Well some snotty… madam, he knows who he is, has already taken Tranter’s ball so all that’s left is upsetting Cate.

G&T bingo, someone mentioned triggering.

I’ve just run a search for the word “triggering” on every article, comment and forum post. Prior to today, the word has been used seven times over the last fourteen years, and never before in this context. Basically, you’ve got a really shit bingo card.

Now then, I deliberately ignored your request for deletion, because I predicted you’d be back within a week. I was happy to forgive and forget because you seemed genuinely sorry for what you’d done, and you seemed to know why it was unacceptable. I may be wrong, but some of your posts since your return seem to indicate otherwise. I’m still happy to let it go, but just don’t give me cause to contemplate the idea that this place was kind of nicer than usual last week.

I’d suggest a trial. But after twenty or so years, it seems most of us Red Dwarf fans have lost our ability to judge.

PTS – Things are referred to as being “… bingo” when they’re mentioned a lot
(Example: Anti-vaxxer bingo – “Do your research”), but then you know that and you’re obviously being obtuse.

My post wasn’t directed at you, it was in fact giving the informative response that you were apparently incapable of giving. You decided to reply anyway, not with an on topic comment about the show that *you* wanted to talk about in the first place, but with a snide remark about “triggering”, which added nothing of value to to conversation and just made it look like you were continuing to be a dick.

You can see why I construed the bingo post as being slightly dickish, though? As Jo says, the “x bingo” thing is usually used in a mocking, dismissive way, and I didn’t think you ought to be mocking or dismissive of that subject matter in this thread. If I got that wrong, then fair enough. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, two times in as many weeks.

I dunno. I’ve no wish to be a nagging prude, but nor do I want the stress of going on to my own forum and not knowing what I might find. Literally the only rule is “don’t be a dick”. It’s easy.

Jo, you’re on a forum where one of the threads is asking who we think has the biggest penis out of the main cast.

PTS, you’re a patronising prick. Huge LOLZ though, that you chose a troll post to somehow defend your shitty comments. Amazing work! *slow clap*

I said bingo for a laugh, that was it.

Yeah, people often do that for no reason whatsoever.

It’s a fan forum for a telly show, don’t stress over it.

What does that have to do with anything? I know exactly where I am thanks, so you can keep your patronising twaddle to yourself.

Ian, you never got it wrong, Jo did

Yeah, I didn’t though did I?

I’m just worried about you, it’s all got a bit serious and tense around here.

It all got a bit serious and tense, when some cunt thought it was fine to make light of rape and triggering. Wow… who’d have though it?

Jo, it’s time to let it all go.</ blockquote>

PTS, you say you are here not to pick fights or be a dick but you surely must be aware you are rubbing people up the wrong way. This type of dismissive attitude to somebody you have offended (a second time) rather than doing the normal thing and you know apologising is not really the type from someone not out to be a dick.

The reason it all got serious around here is because you made an idiotic rape joke, apologised, left the forum, returned and then compounded that earlier offensive joke by making what could be conceived as another idiotic joke that seemed purposely made to rub people up the wrong way.

You’ve quit and reappeared more times than Nigal Farage. My advice would be stop commenting in this thread and just forget about it.
