Jason Momoa Joked That He Loved Getting to "Rape Beautiful Women" on 'Game of Thrones'
That's it, men are canceled.
As if this week didn't make you want to grab pretty much anyone you know who has a Y chromosome and scream, "WHO ARE YOU REALLY?" (See: Weinstein, Affleck, our POTUS...the list goes on...), here's another moment to add to your "ugh, why?" list.
A clip of Jason Momoa, the Game of Thrones star, has surfaced (and is going viral) from a 2011 Comic-Con convention where he, um, jokes (?) about being able to "rape beautiful women." And people are not pleased.
“But as far as sci-fi and fantasy, I love that there’s so many things you can do, like rip someone’s tongue out of their throat and get away with it...and rape beautiful women,” he says. The audience laughs. Many of the fellow panel members hide their heads/face palm. It is...not good, to say the least.
I'm tired. Are you tired? I'm tired.
