This poster has me interested, although I doubt I'll enjoy the story, even of it's dystopian critical value - I cannot abide American politics screaming end of the world like they've EVER actually seen what a dictatorship looks like; I cannot abide Christian fundamentalists or finding strength in being a fanatic and hoping some fakey spook in the sky will save you - or damn you, whichever his dick swings when it suits him - and I don't really watch things with Joseph Fiennes in them. It took me a little while to figure out why in ‘Silence’ expressing apotheoses is a big deal when someone is torturing you: it’s because in Christian circles you’re SUPPOSED to suffer start to finish. Well, fuck that at daily double.  

They're setting the whole thing up like being a concubine is the worst thing ever. Here we have a good example of people knowing a squeaking nothing about history or other cultures. There was a time when being a priestess or being a concubine was the best thing that could possibly happen to a pretty, healthy girl. Same as being a priest or a soldier was the best that could happen to a boy: food came every day, you had a place to sleep, bathrooms, you had respect and protection, you belonged to something and once in a while you saw some action. 

Compared to the alternative - be a farmer or starve (or be a politician until a rival kills you) - these things were not considered the worse thing ever. But of course for an American "freedom", "sexual purity" and "political backfire" is the worst ever. You better pray.

Plus I fucking hate victimhood. People screaming 'no, please don't, please don't!..' You are an apex predator species for fuck's sakes. Where are you fangs?
