I was just looking at the matchups and it says you have 12 games to go. I haven't paid much attention because I'm not particularly in need of a custom rank for winning a losers bracket.

That's a fucking dream crew. You can send them out to all the customers that complain about their packages.

Wait... this is like a two week matchup, right? Why the hell is Zeni talking smack with another week to go?

Yeah, that's abusive.

That is all true, and that's most likely the reason it's excluded from premise of the movie and, consequently, the duet.

For this statement to be true, the precepts of consent would have to be fundamentally different than the premise of consent. It would seem illogical to suggest that a man could be trained to believe consent is given in one period while another in a later period could be trained that consent was not given. Consent is itself simple: the person has to willingly agree with the proposal and clearly articulate assent. The individual expressions of the latter might have changed over time, but body language is instinctually endowed and unlikely to vary across social groups and time periods. What seems more likely is that men and women are taught how to look for signs of consent but they have always been expected to use their best judgement when determining what is consent and what isn't. That, in turn, reinforces the notion that individuals would be expected to know the context of a given situation before determining either party's intention.

How is Madison being mature?

It's patently absurd to assume that young men would not understand the context of this song's duet and still understand the basic precepts of consent. To suggest a song should be eliminated solely because its context isn't apparent is to suggest that men are not capable of determining acceptable context without prompting. For the record, the song was not written for a movie, but it was premiered to the public as a song in Neptune's Daughter in which the duet (two pairs as it turns out) are establishing their mutual attraction for each other. The movie as a product of its time tends to have its issues with portraying women, but the consent of the women to be courted by the men is not in question at any point. Furthermore, there are no explicit expectations expressed by either side, even though the man is clearly hitting on the woman. She doesn't refuse his advances because he also doesn't ask anything of her other than to stay longer; in such a situation, saying to no doesn't mean anything in particular. This might be different if, in context, she had told him she wasn't interested in romance. This is to say that if this exchange were to happen today, it wouldn't necessarily be considered overly aggressive in the absence of the man (1) asking the woman for something, (2) the man ignoring an explicit request to stop the flirting, or (3) a physical attempt to prevent the woman from leaving. There is one caveat, of course, and it deserves special attention. Women are almost always in a position of disadvantage when it comes to courtship because there will always be unreasonable obstacles to a woman being treated as equally competent. That is clearly missing from this song, as it is from the movie (which was a romantic comedy) as a whole. Even though Eve / Betty allude to the fact that they will suffer repercussions for being permissive with the men, it's understood that no such disapproval will in fact come to pass. However, that the lines are even uttered still speaks to the existence of restrictive mores on female sexuality in a general sense, and its most certainly worth noting that both women are taking a risk by flirting with their handsome suitors. Furthermore (and more critically), the song does not address the influence of male dominance in courtship, that is to say there is no indication whether or not the women are being forced to suppress their own intuition and feelings. Ordinarily, this would be contextual as well, but a romantic comedy isn't likely to address the concept of a woman feeling social or other outside pressures to court a man. That's not suggest the song is in any way apologizing for such, just that it's an obvious blind spot that can't be ignored even as it is outside the scope of the song's interactions.

That might be a bit too highbrow for helps.

What exactly does this ritual entail...?

Here's the most comprehensive information to date on the Hunt incident. It adds context immediately before and after the security footage, but doesn't clear everything up. From all indications, Ottinger was the instigator, and it also seems pretty clear that Hunt's reaction was grossly disproportionate to whatever Ottinger did. Curiously enough, there doesn't appear to be any mention of Ottinger being asked to sleep with any of Hunt's friends, although this was mentioned previously as Ottinger's side of the story. Also of note, Ottinger was apparently drunk despite being underage. It looks to be that this was a situation where alcohol made a problematic situation into a bad one when Hunt escalated it by shoving Ottinger.

Hear that? That's the sound of destruction.

Hah!
