1. Fuck explanations. You’re a good man and that bitch deserved it.
“you did a terrible thing, it doesn’t mean you’re a terrible person..”
—Miranda Bailey to Owen Hunt (Greys Anatomy Season 8 Episode 18)
OH DEAR GOD. THE “GOOD MAN” SYNDROME STRIKES AGAIN. Shonda Rhimes is gonna have a bunch of young women thinking that it’s okay for their men to cheat on them if they did something that ‘deserved it’. Like not wanting children. Or wanting something that’s remotely different from social norms. Or being herself. WHAT IS THIS SHOW?
What the fuck are you thinking? Put your hand back down. Of course you want children.
Yeah, Amelia wasn’t who we were referencing with that comment.
There’s actually a fair amount of Private Practice already on here, specifically in regard to Addisam and how truly messed up that whole thing was.
We are an equal-opportunity blog here at Fuck No! Shonda Rhimes. Everything is fair game.
Not like either one of us are actually going to watch Scandal (again, we have other crap to do), but if that goes in the same direction, we’ll assume that the internet will alert us to the unsurprising dreckitude tragedy and get on that, too.
Oh goodie, anon wank. We’d missed this.
It’s so delightful. Thanks for coming back into our lives.
Hi there, anon! Welcome to the wonderful world of the Grey’s fandom. Sometimes there’s crazy and sometimes there’s wank but a lot of the time, we all just sit here and collectively raise our eyebrows.
We’re not entirely sure why Shonda seems to dislike her fans. Personally, we’re huge proponents of Shonda Rhimes just getting the fuck off Twitter because she’s so rude to everyone. If we were the creator of an enormously successful television show (franchise, really, once you consider Private Practice), we’d be incredibly thankful and polite toward our fans.
We’re big fans of the actresses and actors on the shows. This is not a blog that attacks the people who portray the characters, nor is this a blog that attacks the characters themselves (mostly).
Our biggest problem with Shonda Rhimes is that she and her creative team fail, a lot, and with alarming regularity when it comes to women. Women who have repeatedly stated that they don’t want children are suddenly saddled with baby storylines. Women who used to be strong and independent and took no shit from anyone in earlier seasons are suddenly cowering in front of men who abuse them - verbally, physically, and/or emotionally.
There appear to be themes emerging from the show that are at best mildly disturbing: babies make everything better, stand by your man even if he hits you, your life is incomplete if you are not one half of a relationship.
That’s the blog in a (somewhat less-than-small) nutshell.
Also, a lot of it is just genuinely bad writing. So we snark on that, too.
