so i watched this movie it's called rocky, it's pretty old so you probably haven't heard of it

there's this guy who's kinda dumb but in a cute way y'know? his name is rocky like the name of the movie, and there's this girl he likes let's call her adrian because that's her name. now adrian is really socially awkward so it's hard to tell if she likes rocky too or if she's just playing him. anyway that's the gist i think there's boxing in it too but who really cares about that part

anyway so i'm watching this shit and i'm like hey this movie is kinda funny but then this shit happens



nigga what

yeah i don't know about y'all but i'm pretty sure that's rape, am i wrong??

Yeah this comes up from time to time when people rewatch it

IMO it's a hella bad look nowadays but it was basically both of them being incredibly awkward about things but being able to push past that

Uh yeah that highly edited version seems rapey. Here's the full scene where he asks to kiss her and says it's ok if she doesn't want to kiss him.

The scene hasn't aged well and blocking the door does put this into creepy territory, but no?

But then at the same time, I do have, well at least it's not as bad as Blade Runner bias.

But this is ain't that far off from this

I wish Stallone would have never been born so he'd never make Rocky and we wouldn't have this basura thread

I just want to let you all know that you can see Rocky's pet turtles in this scene and that they're still alive and will more than likely outlive Stallone.

I love that your last post before this thread was "seek help"

I don't see anything wrong with this scene. It's not like it's thst James Bond scene.

Honestly the only answer I have is maybe. I can see how that scene could be interpreted either way.

Saying "You dont have to kiss me back if you dont want" before you kiss someone is not how consent works.

I know.

In my memory I thought there was a cute conversation between them about kissing but watching it now it's not there lol. He does a cheek kiss and then they just kiss. Still this scenes seems like a consensual encounter to me.

I felt the same as you, OP. The video you posted cuts around, but I feel like she said she wanted to leave, or at least, it was clear she didn't want to be there, and I also seem to remember she didn't want to go out with him in the first place. I don't remember all the movie details as it was years ago, but I distinctly remember thinking, "What the Hell!?" at that scene.
