This was very interesting for me to read. The minute you explained the set-up (necessary, because while I've seen House I haven't seen this current episode) I understood what you meant. I could also anticipate the response it would draw from certain quarters: "That's not how it was meant, lighten up." and cringed at the prospect. You know, because it doesn't offend *them* they don't see why anyone would have grounds to object. They'd also whine that House is an equal opportunity bigot, and is offensive to everyone. That still doesn't make it O.K., particularly on a sensitive subject where victims are routinely belittled and silenced. I'm pleased to hear that you'll be writing to the producers. They deserve to hear about it from people with a true understanding of the subject, because I suspect why matters like this slide by is precisely because victims have been so silenced that people without experience in the area don't understand it's unacceptable.

Edited to ask: is this filter public? And if it is, would it be acceptable for me to link others here? (Not to produce wank or an argument, let me add, more to just point out differences in perspective.)
