We wanted to do one in which the issue of content was a little murky. I just read the story of a Stanford swimmer who was raping an unconscious, intoxicated woman on the quad.
We wanted to do one that was, frankly, probably more common goes on today, which is a little more murky. We didn’t want it to be something that was pretty obvious where your heart should lie. We all read articles over the past couple of years that were very clear and horrible and infuriating from the point of view of the victim, and we knew that we didn’t want to do that. We knew we didn’t want to do one that was black or white. OK, yeah, that’s the perfect way of putting it. TVLINE | It’s definitely much more black-and-white than what you did. How much did you take from what’s in the news? TVLINE | I was watching the 20/20 special about the Vanderbilt case before I watched this episode. When does “yes” mean “yes”? When can you trust that? And how do both girls and guys get caught up in the new rules in ways that can be real damaging to everyone involved?
We knew right away that we wanted to do it in the most up-to-date way what’s happening on campuses today, which is that the rules are changing and the paradigm is changing for what is considered consent. We decided that it was something we should probably deal with one of our girls. We were seeing it everywhere in the fall for the age group that we’re writing for, and once we started talking about it, a lot of people in the room contributed personal stories about something similar. TVLINE | Consent and rape are not an easy subject matter everyone has strong feelings.
