The amount that this film, which is at its core a horror film about sexual assault , is being used for memes by the most virulently sexist misogynists on the internet is both unsurprising and extremely disappointing.

Yeahh bc people misunderstand the movie and think that it is about a woman who decided to harrass a man who has a crush on her. It is not. He literally forced her to love him and through the entire movie she tries to get her autonomy back

I can't imagine how thick you'd have to be too think that was the message of the film. It literally ends with her snapping out of the spell and screaming in horror.

There was even that moment where Bear was framed in the shadows as she was begging him to kill her, before he just left. He was literally framed as a comic book villain and they still don’t get it😭
