To think these are NOT love films

[Ohalrightthen]

Just watched After and After We Collide. Sorta oversexed teen romance films, college students etc, but Oh My God the romance is not a romance. It's a fucking cautionary tale of the early red flags of abuse and coercive control. I guarantee if these two stay together, in 3 years he'll be restricting her access to birth control and hitting her.

It is fucking HORRIFYING me that this is what Hollywood is telling young women a love story looks like.

Okay so definitely one to miss then just Googled it and found a couple of news articles saying the same.

Yes, I read something about them. Usually not the type of thing I would really watch anyway but I almost wanted to watch and see how bad they are for myself.

It's a little upsetting, actually.

A lot of it is just standard bad writing and acting but the "romantic lead" is a textbook abuser.

Yeah, it is really disturbing. I read the first book and it was just the most awful thing I’ve read. Even worse than Twilight!! She’s horrible too though. All her thoughts about what a skank Molly is. He basically loves her because she’s a virgin and has only been with him and he can control her. I really wish people wouldn’t romanticize this trash.
