Talk:List of The Handmaid's Tale episodes

Problem with the episode summary

Aunt Lydia is interrogated at the hands of the Commanders and is pardoned

This description appears under the summary for 4x2, but occurs in 4x1. Is this a mistake by the editor who added it? Viriditas (talk) 10:11, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Misandrist rape apologist language removed.

I'm creating this talk page article because I'm honestly troubled by the fact that I even had to remove rape apologist language that was aimed at the sexist idea that men cannot be raped by women. The phrase, "forces Luke to have sex with her, despite his protestations," is completely inconsistent with the language regarding depictions of sexual assault and sexual violence. I don't know who wrote this summary of such a scene of sexual assault, but I can't imagine just how you come to the conclusion that male victims of sexual assault should be minimized. I'm frankly disappointed in this person.

Rape is still rape, no matter how you slice it. No matter the gender of the victim, that victim doesn't deserve to be minimized. Minimizing rape victims is absolutely uncalled for, and it speaks to there being something seriously wrong with the person doing the minimizing. This bigotry is absolutely uncalled for, just like any other form of bigotry. MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 19:45, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Stop reverting episode names

Someone keeps reverting updates to the episode names. Please stop. Preventing spoilers is not a valid reason for reversion. And using no references for a reason, when no other episode name edits have references, is not a valid excuse for it. Kurt (talk) 19:10, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

No one was removing episode names because of "spoilers", they were removing them because no one was adding a reliable source for them. Information regarding upcoming episodes needs to be sourced (WP:V). So yes, it is a valid reason for it. The episode titles are referenced at the top of the table using the Hulu website which currently sources the titles up to episode 6. Generally, once an episode airs/is released, it no longer requires a source. So please remember for future reference, yet-to-air episodes need to have their information sourced, we need to verify the information is actually correct and not just made-up or based on rumors. Thank you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:55, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
