      I wasn't familiar with Altered Carbon previously but the thing where the protagonist gets turned into a prepubescent girl because that's the kind of body that's most receptive to torture is... eyebrow-raisinghttps://twitter.com/FreyjaErlings/status/1215611968951914496 …

      This is the scene they specifically cut from the TV adaptation because the showrunner just wouldn't do it

      I mean, she was right that the emotional impact of seeing the character tortured is gone in a visual medium like TV if the person we see isn't the actor we've gotten to know But also, what the fuck

      Yeah the passage from the book openly describes the virtual torture as including rape

      But anyway she said she just wasn't going to do a torture scene with a child actor no matter how much they cut it down, especially since there's no purpose to it in the book but shock value and the chance to do a brief evo psych lecture about female pain tolerance or whatever

      Anyway That particular facet of the book is pretty TERFy in hindsight Like his justification for it ends up being the TERF talking point that "being a woman by definition entails suffering and oppression and saying you *want* to be a woman is a gross fetish"

      (And as always when accusing people of fetishizing there's more than a hint of projection)

      Replying to @arthur_affect @Nymphomachy @JerryStillman

      I'm sorry but this kind of evo psych thing is it bothersome because they try to frame their essentialism as a feminist statement and it always instantly backfires as such "It's feminist because it's saying female bodies are *designed* to feel pain"

          (The idea that women actually do have a higher pain tolerance than men has been debunked a bunch of times and, as edgelord trolls have pointed out, it isn't a very good feminist talking point "I guess that means women being in pain isn't that big a deal then")
