I keep seeing so many “bear is the villian” “this film is about toxic masculinity taking over a woman’s body autonomy and consent”

Like BRO, why can’t we ever just watch a movie without needing to make everything VIRTUE SIGNALING??!!

It’s a dumb horror movie about a twig granting wishes when you break it. Like cmon dude. All these pseudo intellectuals think they’re so smart makes me crazier than Nikki bro.

People are acting like bear plotted this entire thing himself and is the most evil person ever. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ the dude realistically has no choice, no power. His only options are to kill himself or kill Nikki. And any person would act irrational with those choices. Because no one wants to kill themselves and no one wants to kill the person they care about.

this entire situation in the movie is complicated as all hell but people are literally treating Bear like the most vile Villian of all time. He’s just a coward, and a wimp.

When I saw the movie, I saw it as everyone in the movie is a victim. INCLUDING bear.

NO ONE IS THE REAL VILLAIN.

Bear is just an anti social weirdo that doesn’t know how to properly socialize with the opposite gender. We’ve all seen these types. They are sad but also harmless.

He gets a wish toy not thinking much of it and didn’t do the wish out of malice. And he tries to find ways to break the curse without needing to either kill Nikki or himself many times.

People have an issue with bear saying “what’s so wrong with being with me?” He’s just venting his frustration. But he also doesn’t want to kill Nikki, he just wants her to be her regular self again.

HE EVEN WENT BACK TO THE STORE AND BOUGH MORE WISH BONES AND LITERALLY WISHED FOR NIKKI TO LOVE HIM AS A FRIEND AGAIN. LMAO

How anyone can pick a “villain” in this film is beyond me. This is a tragic love story bear was just as much a victim as Nikki, or Sarah, or Ian was.

edit: to the ones who say “he sexually assaulted her“ “he’s a rapist“ despite the fact that bear was in the mindset that Nikki took molly during the first incident. And after finding out that the wish bone is actually legit and none of the relationship is real. He starts to regret everything. but let’s just ignore that part for a minute

did y’all call out when Wonder Woman sexually assaulted a random man in the Wonder Woman 84’ film? Because in the film it is played and shot as if it’s romantic and cute. But she sexually assaulted that man. And no one makes an uproar for that one?

did yall call out the film “pretty things”? For essentially putting a new born childs brain into a fully grown women body and then proceed to have sexual relations with other grown men despite the fact the “woman” has a brain of a literal child inside her? Is that not weird?

I love when people pick and choose what to be outraged about.
