Haven't seen this one mentioned yet: this sweet natured (but dimwitted) high school football player comes from the south to NYC to visit a college to see if he wants to play there. While staying on campus a group of jocks tricks him into receiving sexual contact from a male student in front of a bunch of people. After THAT he runs into what is (unbeknownst to him) a gay bar and ends up assaulting a guy for flirting with him The funniest/saddest part was the confused look on his face as he explained he thought it was a regular sports bar because they were watching hockey on tv Honestly for a show broadcast on national TV they seem to have a horrifically low opinion of southerners. Rollins aside - who is a constant f***-up and an idiot in her own right, she's just also a main character so we're not supposed to notice - they're pretty much uniformly portrayed as over-the-top buffoons.

There's one where a woman sleeps with a guy to get her son into a prestigious college only to learn that the guy was lying about having the authority to affect that. She declares it rape and SVU immediately wants to take the guy down. Nobody ever points out the shady as hell thing this woman was doing in her own right and she's portrayed entirely sympathetically, and they completely butcher the legal system because even though lying about something like this for sex isn't illegal in New York and they acknowledge that, they go, "Well, if we can get it in front of a jury it'll fly," and get a judge who's going, "Yeah, it's not against the law but I'm not okay with turning this away because rape."

Rewatching an episode that walks this weird line between irritating me and amusing me. It's about someone who throws a trans girl off of a bridge and then feels bad about it, while Wilson from House prosecutes for a hate crime. On one hand it's really irritating because it clearly absolutely was a hate crime, regardless of the regret after the fact, and it's really irritating seeing it being played for 100% sympathy like the episode does. On the other hand it's amusing because you've got poorly presented nonsense like her going, "I love comic books," then immediately flat-lining.

There was one where Stabler was undercover and Bensen for some damned reason had to quickly pose as his girlfriend waiting on him to get home for sexy times, stripped down to her underwear. The notion that a cop regularly wears a matched underwear set that probably costs more than $100 on a regular workday is pretty farcical.
She looked great, though.

Yeah, like, I get she's not just a regular beat cop, but I still doubt she'd want to be wearing pricey lingerie all day on the job.

Wasn't there a racism angle kinda/sorta clumsily thrown in there too?

That's actually the monkey basketball episode. Yeah, that one has everything. Rewatching an episode that walks this weird line between irritating me and amusing me.

Kind of, they don't really directly call attention to it but part of the justification they try for is how due to his background he wouldn't really have familiarity with trans people and that he'd recently had a family member shot.

I came in to mention the incel episode (“Revenge”).
I can’t stop thinking of it. Yes, it’s pretty over the top, but without going into too much detail, it’s also a case where the type of subject matter it’s dealing with is almost beyond parody.

The goofy-ass way they script their scripts cancels out any sort of Social Message they want to push.

Something I feel like really hurts this show is how a lot of the later episodes are just very.... toothless. Between all of the increased family drama and them suddenly being much more cowardly when it comes to anything to do with kids it just feels really overly sterile and safe, which is kind of a problem when your show is about rape.
Here's another one - woman is raped in the middle of a play in front of the crowd. The initial suspect is Kylo Ren who they figure out has been stalking her and even recording her shower, but then it turns out to be a judge. Except the judge was under the impression this was some weird rape fantasy thing arranged online. He is immediately completely understanding that they'll need to press charges on him despite this and perfectly friendly with them over it, and then they think it's the play's director who did it. Then they learn it was actually the victim's roommate who arranged it due to jealousy over her getting the part in the play over her. In the middle of all this is a completely pointless scene where Adam Driver and Gilbert Gottfried talk about computers.

I have on Transgender Bridge again and another aspect of this episode I wanna bring up - the plot stopping dead entirely to show the girl's eulogy that says absolutely nothing about her and just goes, "Forgiveness! Always forgive! Forgiiiiiiiive!" as a painful attempt to build sympathy for the asshole who threw her off a bridge.
Also I still don't understand how getting out of prison at 18 he'd be just fine but getting out at 22 his life is ruined.

Just watching the season 20 two part opener. Man rapes his son, gets found innocent, and the son goes on a school shooting rampage. This show is definitely not mellowing with age.

Watching a quick Ion Television advertisement for the show. It’s crazy how serious the actors all seem to take themselves. As if they have no idea so many people are watching it for the over the top shit. It’s like watching Jean-Claude Van Damme try to make a case for why he should have been given an Academy Award for Street Fighter II.

Going by this show, you'd think a sexual harassment or rape is happening every minute.

And sometimes it looks like some kids have been abandoned only for one to get hit by a car but then it turns into a convoluted plot about secret anthrax experiments that somehow have to do with Hurricane Katrina.
