Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Do not go gentle into that good night.

Hey, one of my favourite poems. Nice choice!

I actually misquoted it. Those two lines do not occur concurrently in that order, IIRC.

Shush! No one had noticed!

I don't know why I like it that poem that much, really. It does resonate, though, in that I view life as a path to be followed to the end. A great sentiment, Hans, and a well chosen poem to go with it. To continue to the end of the path of life, not giving an inch of ground, is my idea.

Ah, what the heck. Here's the full poem:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

So I just watched the latest episode of Adventure Time. The main character literally got raped and the show treated that as something "funny."

Rape, especially of guys, is often a source of comedy in cartoons. It's not a rare thing I believe.

And this on a kids show?...............

Adventure Time is ridiculous. They talk about sex, touching unicorn "Horns" and cannibalism is treated as a-okay.

Common enough to have a quite sizeable entry on TvTropes.

E: Here's the Rape-specific entry. The first link was a large index of double standards.

Man, where were you with this link in the [insert gender] thread?

[Darvi]

Staying away, I assume. Fuel and fire and stuff.

Yep. Things can get heated, logic can degenerate when heated enough, and flamewars then ensue.

[nenjin]

Well, for what it's worth, TvTropes lead me to this: http://keddycsi.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/abandoning-men_-jill-gets-welfare.pdf

Which I've found very educational. So thanks.

Looks like this is one of the few times Tumblr doesn't get fussy about a rape joke.

Oh wait, right, Finn is male.

This is exactly why I don't discuss my personal shit with feminists.

[Bauglir]

Hey, now, I'm a feminist and I think this is some Grade F Horseshit. If I weren't watching Adventure Time on a many year lag, I'd probably have already dredged up the Western Animation thread to complain >_______>
