I will say it was freaking tough to watch Juls like that.
But also? Wtf was up with how it happened? Sergio plying her with drink, she’s literally wiping tears and forcing herself and he’s all jovial about it?
And another anon:
Is it just me or it was f*cking rape??? Or at least emotional abuse I thought it was going to hurt but now I’m MAD
I don’t know if we can extrapolate lack of consent, but it was pretty freaking gross and I actually hate that while the f/f story choices are supposed to have some kind of message (whether they hit or not), his and Lucho’s actions repeatedly get excused or pushed aside.
And another anon:
That was assault, Juls was drunk not in her right faculties and he was sober because he is used to drinkin and has tolerance, it’s assault. Lucho did the same with Val. Im lost for words here
I don’t know what it was but let me just say, if that was on an episode of ODAAT (which it wouldn’t be, it’d be too dark for them to show on screen), they would be discussing it in very different terms.
And another anon:
Wow talk about taking advantage of a situation. Sergio knows juliana doesn’t like to drink, so he gives her alcohol. He knows shes in love with valentina but still pursues her. I thought he was starting to get better but this is real low. Juliana is super vulnerable right now and he starts pulling some shit? Fuck that
Yeah, there’s nothing about it that wasn’t creepy and disgusting and behavior that should be called out and certainly not forgiven! She’s an 18 year old who hates to drink, how much of a lightweight and under the influence would she have been? It was her choice to drink, sure, but anybody who wasn’t a creep wouldn’t have considered her advances.
Is the show just…not going to address that? Does it think that this is somehow Juls making this decision and then regretting it and that’s that?
