SO WHY THE FUCK didn't Melfi tell Tony that she was raped?

because she was a good fucking human, you idiot.

Because then she'd be in his debt.

>I'm seriously considering dropping an otherwise good show over petty shit like this, I can't watch Melfi's segments anymore.

Good, drop it. Fucking idiot.

Her character was useless after season 1 and they kept trying to find shit to do with her. I think they realized it was worthless and just didn't even finish her arc. I also read she was a massive bitch to work with.

Because this isn't breaking bad. Also she enjoyed it like all women.

The damage to society is worse letting the rapist just go. He's clearly going to rape other women. Had Melfi told Tony, the rapist would no longer be a threat to women walking to their cars.

This, once you get involved with them you never get out and they will never leave you alone. You also end up as a lose end and your knowledge of a high ranking mafia boss ordering a hit makes you a witness, since you are not part of the family your life isn‘t worth shit for them.
also the Feds might figure out the rapist was killed by the mafia and maybe make the connection between him and Melfi, then they flip Melfi and then she gets killed.

Poor Melfi

She did the right decision tho by not telling about the rapist.
But to see that this is the right decision requires to think ahead which almost nobody does on that show

because she knew he would kill him, she would be an accessory to murder.

This.

As a society we have idealized the state to the point that we mentally cannot justify seeking justice through means outside of it.
For all the shit American propagandists gave the commies and the nazis for making their citizens dependent on the state, America has become a place where a not insignificant portion of the population believes it should be illegal to defend one's self with lethal force if attacked by another person. Even worse, quite a large majority of people believe justice ought not and cannot be sought after through avenues outside of the bureaucratic state.

It's gay as fuck. I'm not even a libertarian and the amount of boot licking in this thread disgusts me. Back in the day liberty came with certain expectations. One of those expectations was that you'd be a well armed citizen who would 1) be prepared to defend the realm if the king called for you to join his militia and 2) defend his own family and seek justice for those who have been wronged. Our society has completely forgotten about these duties in almost every way except basic self defense, and even then many states both foreign and domestic are making it illegal to defend yourself with lethal force. It's gay as fuck, man.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

>dude why did the one character shown to have high moral standards not resort to vigilante justice to get revenge
Sopranos is wasted on midwits

Of course your first instinct is to want her to tell him, but the show thankfully doesn't pander to your initial reaction. Melfi despite all temptation cannot justify being complicit in extrajudicial murder. The show time and time again shows what happens when people actually become involved in Tony's business.

>it would be one of the few good things Tony would've done in the show
I think she got that. She made a choice not to let him feel any sense of vindication for his fuckery. I find it highly disturbing you desperately need to see him in a positive light. He's not a self-insert and I'm always surprised when these antihero shows still has plebs rooting for them. Disgusting

>be woman
>get raped by illegal immigrant
>immediately say you love tacos so the local mob boss doesn't have him whacked
*star spangled banner plays*

some people are just morally superior to others like communists over nazis. if you can't understand why melfi wouldn't indirectly kill her attacker, you should reconsider your world view

your agreement with that first post kept me from reading those paragraphs you read immediately after. in the future please be more careful about this, because i'm sure whatever rant you typed out was poignant

It was the principle of the matter

Because then she would be enabling the type of behaviour she is trying to cure.

>be french woman
>get raped by radical french communists
>don't tell nazi occupiers because your principles

Good for you bud. It isn't uncommon for women to have fucked up fantasies about their rapists after it's all over. Women were nothing but war brides for quite a long time. It's only natural for them to have a built in defense mechanism that allows for such treatment to occur without them going bonkers.

Why didn't Tony just get a new horse?

Because she did not have enough gabagool to pay tony

>be mafia henchman
>doubt the legitimacy of your position in society
>get told to go kill some pervert who breaks into houses and kidnaps toddlers to rape them
>out of principle you let him escape

because she was in all honesty asking for it with that tight little skirt and stiletto heels.

What if I told you male rape victims have similar fantasies

Something something morals I'm better than Tony and his criminal ways. Like most upper middle class professional she just liked the feeling of having the power to destroy the rapist instead of actually doing anything.

When was that ?

She went about in pity for herself

>It’s some recent phenomenon that people seek justice through the justice system
You are a fucking retard. Not even libertarians advocate for lynch mobs, the enforcement of law and prosecution of wrong doing is one of the most fundamental parts of what the government exists for. Nobody wants the type of justice spergs like you advocate for. A rape victim isn’t going to what to hear about your nostalgia for fucking feudalism, and even feudalism had criminals punished by the state.

I would tell you to cite your sources, big boy.

you should really educate yourself on exactly what normal people are like
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauche
>Leon Gary Plauche (November 10, 1945 – October 20, 2014)[1] was an American man known for the 1984 vigilante killing of Jeff Doucet, who had kidnapped and sexually assaulted his son, Jody Plauche. The killing occurred on Friday, March 16, 1984, and was captured on camera by a news television crew. Although Plauche shot and killed Doucet, he was given a seven-year suspended sentence with five years' probation and 300 hours of community service for the shooting and received no jail time. The case received wide publicity because some people questioned whether Plauche should have been charged with murder or let off. Plauche stated that he was in the right, and that those in a similar position would have done the same thing.[2]

>OTHER WOMEN FROM BRING RAPED.

FTFY

Dog, Tony is meant to be rooted for. Chase says it himself when he calls out the hypocrisy of the fans for loving him for 6 seasons then wanting to see his brains spilled in the last episode

Which movie?

I don't root for Tony. I know he's horrible. I just wish he would do something good once in a while.
Oh, and also I want to see guy begging for his life while Tony cuts him up.

I dont like that rape scene. You gotta be careful with women, they're like fucking China statues. To see her treated so brutally was a huge turn off and quite disturbing

Yes, to see a sympathetic character be brutally raped, and then act like nothing happened was heart-wrenching.
Also, kinda weird than Tony, who previously organized spying on Melfi, didn't look up records of her supposed car crash.

never saw the show just saw the rape scene on youtube.

this bitch can't act. she can't deliver her lines at all. her intonation is braindead.

this is the show that people claim to be a 10/10? fucking laughable.

Also it would ruin her doctor/patient relationship if she owed him one. Remember he's already tried to fuck her at this point. If she goes to him for help, it satisfies his ego and reenforces his fucked up ideas about the world, and since therapy seems to be a life calling for her it would ruin her as a functioning person. She'd forever be at odds with herself about who she is. She wouldn't be living an authentic life after she told tony. She'd be even more broken than the rape made her. She had no choice in that, this would be her choice. This show too smart for op.

The whole episode is the writers teasing the audience for her to tell Tony because we know what his response will be. The rapist would be murdered in an extremely brutal way. Subconsciously everyone watching would love for this to happen on-screen. We like Melfi, she isn't corrupted and not part of the underworld. Our animal brain demands justice and revenge to be served against her perpetrator. The dillema here is if she goes down this path, she will forever be in Tony's pocket. The final scene is a final "fuck you" played against us. the audience, for lusting after our primal wish of revenge and violence.

>missing the point of the character
brainlet

>spic
he was italian
did you not watch the show only youtube clips?

But the audience is CORRECT for wanting to see the rapist tortured and killed.

then maybe the audience should think a little harder just like Melfi did

No. She's objectively wrong. She is putting others in danger to feel like she has the moral high ground. She tried the system and it failed. She should have told Tony.

It's a great arc. Great show.

2/10, I responded.

Jesus christ. Mista, you okay in dare?

The entire basis of your argument is that he is going to rape again. How do you know that? You dont, and you are objectively incorrect in assuming so

>She made a choice not to let him feel any sense of vindication for his fuckery.
She made the virtue signalling choice. She gets to feel good about not using Tony to get revenge, but meanwhile she's treating someone she believes to be an unrepentant murderer.
And she has sex dreams about him.

But Chase himself seemed conflicted about how Tony was supposed to be perceived, so who the fuck knows. I just watch The Wire, a show with some complexity and not the middle school "dude what if you were Peter Parker and someone beat you up, would you beat them up as Spider-Man" level of moral quandary you get with Sopranos

Somebody please explain to me, was the Sopranos an actual mob drama or a very post-ironic dark comedy show?

Because most rapists who are willing to risk hiding out in a garage to forcibly rape a woman in a stairwell with no mask are going to want to do it again.

Her feelings of moral superiority are not more important than the safety of other women who work and live in the area. The right thing in this situation was to at least let Tony do one positive deed for the community (and if you want to take a feminist angle, for women) in his life.

You're right, it's just a one off thing. A sexual emergency.

>She wants to be above the revenge and asking criminals for help.

No, if she was complicit in supporting Tony's unlawful behavior she would no longer be capable of helping him as a patient. She wasn't doing it for herself, she was doing it for Tony.

The comedy is there user, it's both. The drama isn't treated as a joke when it gets serious

This.

This, OP is a drooling mouthbreather

Your answer is here OP

Not an argument
He was already caught and let go by the cops, which of course is infuriating, I agree with that. But after that if he doesnt understand that he already has a profile as a potential rapist and do it again he is a moron

He probably wasn't all that intelligent to begin with. He works in the service industry and raped a woman locally. He's almost guaranteed to reoffend.

Plus he was Puerto Rican, right?

If he won't reoffend, at the very least Tony should have given him a good beating since he escaped justice and to add an extra deterrent from reoffending.

Then you would be full of shit
>t. Child rape victim
My only fantasy is murdering the perp with a hammer. I very much live with regret for never having done so.

>implying tony would've stopped at beating if he found out

Was it your uncle

>then he is a moron
We already established he was puerto rican

Which is the POINT. The guy is a dangerous rapist. He should obviously be executed.

Dad

This. Puerto Ricans not only tend to be less intelligent than whites, if you speak to them many of them seem to understand reality in a fundamentally flawed way.

Hot.

She knows that and she could've said the guy mugged her. Something to spur Tony to action but not enough to send him into a rage.

You're a naive dumbfuck

She should've just said "Puerto Ricans rape horses", Tony would have forced the Jersey mob to start ethnically cleansing NJ.

>got to bang melfi
>employee of the month
>absolutely no consequences of any kind

Classic minority experience

You answered your own question. Melfi would rather be raped a thousand times then let Tony think that the world needs people like him and the mob.

But it's clear that they do.

>kek what does being puerto rican have to do with rape?
Quite a lot actually. The browner the skin, the more likely you are to rape.

>greenland homicide coloring
uhh, what?

Melfi didn’t tell him because it gave her control.

See, she was sexually attracted to Tony, and she resented this.

The rape empowered her over him because she knew he’d fantasized about her and tried to seduce her.

She knew if Tony knew that he’d be angry and ashamed at his idealized girl being gutter tier pusy now. Something some Puerto Rican had creampied and left behind.

As long as Melfi had that over him, she knew she wasn’t his ideal girl, that she was flawed and used goods.

That thought turned her on more than anything. She probably spent hours awake at night touching herself to the memory of rape, wishing Tony could have been forced to watch. Cuckolded by proxy, as it were.

I have a degree in women’s studies, for the record.

>implying you don't constantly relive your ordeal and pop a boner sometimes

IQ rankings are as such, backed by multiple studies

At this point in the show David Chase was well aware that fans were rooting for Tony and cheering him on a lot of the time. He was frustrated by this to an extent. His high concept ideas were not meant to convey that a mob boss should be viewed sympathetically, and to him it just showed that much of his audience was too stupid to understand what he was really trying to say. Having Melfi get raped, and setting up an obvious avenue for some really great revenge porn and then blueballing the fans was one of his many fuck yous to the segments of the show's fanbase he derided. The biggest fuck you to that group (the dumb people) was the finale however.

I agree wholeheartedly, Chase is a snob pseud faggot

Yeah, it's never great when some creator - whatever the medium, starts deriding his own fans for not being what he wants them to be. If he created Tony to be unlikable and evil, yet the majority of people who watched the show liked him and sympathized with him to an extent, the mature thing to do would have been to realize that his estimates of humanity were wrong, but continue doing what he was doing. Affecting his own work based off the perceptions of outside influences is how you fuck up a good thing.

Mexico is whiter than the us, fucking kek

because she enjoyed it :^)

the dream segment with the rottweiler sums it all up
she feels happy knowing that she has a big dog that she could potentially use as a weapon but she'd never actually do it because she knows that the animal is an animal, and not a weapon

But user dont you see? The show is so good that it has you this worked up about something it DIDNT do. Only a good fucking show can have that kind of power over you. A shit show would mean you dont give a fuck. And if you have any taste at all then that would be like 90% of all shows ever

Is it this easy to trigger a liberal? Men look at you and that's rape but a brown man physically assaults a woman and "it might not happen again"?

I hope you fucking die faggot

Agreed. It's all so tiresome.
I just skip almost all crime related news because Finland is so fucked up on justice and jail time. Only makes me mad.
You just have to spread your asscheeks and take it here. Let the criminals work in peace
and have their way with you or your house, unless you want bigger sentences than they are gonna get.

yeah cause people who rape women in public parking garages have obviously never done it before and won't do it again. getting off scot-free surely wouldn't encourage them.
