MOVIES LIKE OBSESSION AND THE SUBSTANCE AREN'T "FEMALE TORTURE PORN FOR MEN'S GAZE" HORROR MOVIES VERY MUCH TEND TO REFLECT THE REAL LIFE HORRORS OF THEIR ERA AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IS ONE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC THINGS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR THE PAST YEARS AND CENTURIES ARE YOU QUITE WELL

I think this a little bit comes back to the the idea that villains need to get their dues; but not in just any way, but in a way that's cathartic for the viewer. Like every story needs to feel satisfied. And a satisfying catharsis is juicy and good and we do need that. But not every story needs to end with a "and the villain was sufficiently punished and the victim was victorious and happy". Sometimes it really is just "this is how it goes, isn't that awful" and maybe?? you're even sort of supposed to take that feeling To Go and use it in the real world when you see those awful things going and want them to end better this time.

If I keep practicing I might even be a person soon

do you ever feel yourself fail a charisma check in real time

love when ocs grab you by the shoulders and tell you something essential to their lore without you getting a say in it
