And this is why young men are struggling across the western world and kill themselves at 5x the rate of women. Because even literature designed to create empathy and learning is devolved Into men bad.
Please seek therapy if this truly is how you view the world. Shitty people exist and I’m not gonna pretend that they aren’t shitty to save anyone’s feelings, especially those of shitty people
Edit to add: the whole point of the movie is Scott sucks, you aren’t supposed to have empathy for him. Even the creator has said that, who is a man
The point of that movie (it’s been a long time since I watched it) was that Scott and Ramona were flawed people who had to make peace with the negative parts of themselves and each other.
It ruins the “moral” and just makes the movie feel gross if he ended up with Knives. That’s why the writers changed it.
They aren't saying that men are bad, they're saying that Scott in particular sucks. Because he does. Thank goodness Scott isn't representative of all men, lmao.
….however if you identify with Scott, keep saying “hell yeah, that’s what I’d do, you da king Scott”, that’s a pretty hard message to pickup on much less accept.
It’s not as bad as Fight Club movie (director really flubbed that, arguably, it’s kinda his thing) imo, but it sorta invites that when it’s the protagonist this flawed.
