Prime example of the Halo Effect
I have watched both obsession and watched the very popular show You.
Bear accidentally possess a girl and has to mentally navigate the situation he is in, all while accepting the fact that magic exists??? And that the girl of his dreams is not really who she seems to be.
Joe Goldberg, a narcissistic serial killer, that kills every girl he gets obsessed with and one of the most delusional characters I’ve ever seen.
Bear is extremely hated on and despised. While Joe is exalted and fawned after. The fans of that show love him lol even though he is a serial killer and a megalomaniac.
It’s just funny to compare the two characters and their fan bases. Because Joe on paper is so dangerous, manipulative and crazy. But because he is attractive, smart and cunning, women overlook the evil and look for the glimmer of hope.
While Bear’s actions came from an innocent crush and the magic was not intentional.
Just shows the conundrum of human perspective.
