Author: Hope - glad the skank is gone
Subject: Understand why see funny but wanted him to say No and did not need the image of her straddling him. That should only be Kate.
In reply to: Cece 's message, "Hang on there, Castle did not say no at any time. He kept making excuses, but all he had to do was say, "Not intersted.". Let's face it, it could have stopped had he said no to the date in the first place, like Beckett wanted him to. The over the top agressive sexuality was funny because Castle was never in danger of being raped, forced, or abused. It also helped them catch the murderer. Who could possibly have taken this scene seriously? Loved Castle in front of the green screen....LOL. I love Kate's hair this season. It's so pretty.." on 04:16:32 10/03/12 Wed

  • I still maintain that, had the situation been reversed, it would've been considered an assault. Yet just because he is a man it wasn't a danger? Yes maybe he wasn't in actual danger to get raped; however, we do hear him say no (through Beckett's phone), and when she jumps on top of him, he struggles to get her off, even slapping her back! The truth is, he was pretty helpless there - had it been a man, he could've just punched him. But could he just have punched a woman?! If he had, who would be the one in trouble? It'd be Castle, not the 'attacker'. It's showcasing a total double standard. (NT) -- Nic/Colie, 15:06:59 10/03/12 Wed

  • So true. If guy coming on to Kate she could flip him and take him down but if Castle had done that to this woman she could have charged him with assault. (NT) -- Hope, 17:25:56 10/03/12 Wed

  • Comparing this more or less slapstick humour, with the very serious charges of assault and rape, trivializes the genuine fear and helplessness that an assault victim experiences. Castle could have stopped her in a heart beat without violence. I would NEVER make fun of assault. This was no such thing. I believe it is wrong to cry wolf. Castle was never in any danger. He was never going to be forced to do anything. Castle is strong, not sick or weak. It was funny scene, not a double standard.. Period. (NT) -- Cece, 00:47:36 10/04/12 Thu
