It's such an abuser thing to do.

He destroyed her so thoroughly that only pain, emptiness and love were left and that was annoying to live with. It was ugly and uncomfortable so of course he would treat her as an inconvenience. Of course he would try to just abandon her multiple times. He didn't want an ugly, weeping, suffering angry husk. He wanted the old Nikki. He got what he made her into instead and that was difficult to deal with.

The moment Sarah proved she was a "valid option" he was ready to forget about the broken Nikki and go for Sarah instead.

Of course he would. Those kinds of men do exactly that. It makes me want to laugh until I can only cry.

Argument 1.

Obsession works as horror for men because if they understand the movie, they will understand that their problems often hurt others more than themselves because they push said problems onto women

Argument 2.

Obsession doesn't work as horror for men because many of them still cant get it that Bear is the villian not Nikki. Nikki is the victim very clearly.

Argument 3.

OBSESSION WORKS AS HORROR ALWAYS FOR WOMEN BECAUSE THEY DONT GET A CHOICE IN UNDERSTANDING.

Women can see the horror in both situations of the story.

Nikki's perspective and Bear's perspective.

Nikki's perspective:

Nikki is a victim (even of sa technically) who is constantly being tortured and also is fully aware that she is being controlled and forced into a romantic and sexual relationship she does not want. She cannot consent and no one will save her.

Bear's perspective:

Women fear his perspective also because Bear is forced to experience the horror of being a woman.

A weird friend who refuses to take no for an answer and cannot handle rejection. Often resulting is potential harm to oneself and/or others.

Abusive partners who cannot let you have friends, refuse to let you go to work, actively threaten themselves or you.

A creepy stalker who follows you constantly and leaves you "gifts" that are literally terrifying and professes their 'love' but is violent and awful in said profession of 'love'.

the other people in the town attest to the girl acting extremely oddly the days leading up to the killings; her boss says he hasn't seen her at work in weeks. the girl's body is covered with wounds and scars from self-mutilation, and the psychologist sent in by the city to evaluate her says she's experienced a deep trauma. which sure, is the case when one kills their three closest friends, but the psychologist says they think it runs even deeper.

But also, Nikki isn’t Gretel in this story - she’s Hansel. Bear is Gretel. Bear is the Gretel who is forcing her to be “inside” him. Bear is the one who is disregarding their - siblinglike- relationship in favour of forcing a sexual one via magic.

Bear is the one who is keeping Nikki “in this place”, who, when she dared reject him, “flayed (her) meaty forearm, roll it like a stick of liquorice, and insert the flesh between (his) legs” - who took a strong and developed person (a “meaty forearm”) and ripped away the superficial exterior for his own use, leaving both the exterior and the interior permanently damaged and in agony. Bear is the one who is using the exterior (the “skin”/the Other Nikki) for his own sick self-pleasure with no regard for her well-being, only the sickening and twisted love brought into existence by a witch and a willow.

Hell, maybe it was Wish! Nikki who wrote it !! After all, we see that Wish! Nikki seems more than aware of the fact that Bear’s wish - and thus her creation - is an act of inherent violence and rape.

Time and again, the Entity associates Bear’s love with rape and violence and submission. She’s tied up and naked because that’s what she thinks Bear wants. She threatens to shoot herself in the vagina both because she thinks that’s all he wants from her and as a metaphorical shorthand for what the wish was - a violation of the deepest kind.

She makes Bear’s cat into a sandwich. Why ? Because he loved it - and for her, love is all-consuming obsession, and, she assumes, for him, it is violence.

The difference is that Wish! Nikki doesn’t care - because she can’t care, because her only purpose for existing is loving this man, more than self-love, more than platonic love. A deeply sexual love that she nevertheless experiences as an act of violence. Evidently, even it can recognise that.

The horror of Obsession is just a woman being a "bad" victim.

actually it was the first time when Nikki became conscious after the wish. you know, when she was outside Bear's car, talking nonsense about the cat and she suddenly snaps into consciousness and goes "wait what the fuck?"

it wasn't enough to scare me but it was so fucking unnerving. especially if you know what's happening and what's coming, which i did.

like imagine you had a long night and you're going home to get some rest, and then suddenly your body starts moving of its own accord. and suddenly you're outside your coworker's car and you're talking nonsense, you're behaving very strangely, you're creeping him out and you don't know why.

did Nikki think she was going insane? did she think that she got drugged or that maybe something was wrong with her? how long did she wonder if she was just losing her mind, before realizing Bear had something to do with it?

Sarah being tied up and naked, legs tied open, and a shell of herself, is what Freaky Nikki believes what Bear likes because he is using Nikki without her consent/ she isn’t there.
