The romanticisation of stalking and entitlement in cinema normalises abuse. Call it out for what it is: a societal sickness.
FO Take · Score 10
The discourse around consent often gets twisted into absurd narratives, particularly when male entitlement is challenged. This film, and its apologists, exemplify a worrying trend: framing male aggression as misunderstood affection. It is not complex; it is simply wrong. Are we so afraid to hold men accountable for their actions that we invent excuses of victimhood?
The strongest counter
Some argue that the film intended to provoke discussion around complex relationship dynamics, and that simplistic condemnations miss nuanced portrayals of human psychology, however dark.
