I agree romanticising toxicity is not good, but human brain works differently we can’t understand how a person would fall for the most pathetic human being but they do like you gave the example of KTK, so I think it was in the subconscious mind of the girl that the boy has done everything and anything for her and who won’t like to fall for a guy who crosses every boundary for you, we have always bought this fairytale that one day your Prince Charming would come and do everything for you even if he has to go against the world and this is the point where Mafia romance comes, I for once can love a guy who slapped me but would never love a guy who kills people for money but this happens in the books and movies and the most angelic girls ends up being in love with the most demonic person ever. I seriously don’t know what I am trying to say but I think I can understand why such cases happens, because there is nothing in this world which you can’t justify except rape in my opinion. You can justify killing in the name of self defence, doing good for society then what is a slap in front of all this. Hitting any person is so wrong at many levels, but if you are asking for justification it is available. The world works on things one should not do and one won’t do, there is a difference between them and the difference is a Choice, if you have a choice to leave a toxic person then you have choice to love that person too and like I previously said a person doesn’t simply have a say in anyone’s life and how they make their choices. Mehek falling for Shamsher was her choice and she chose that man who went beyond and above for her by forgetting what he did was so wrong on many levels, I never watched Damon and Elena (I guess this is the name) but she also chose a person who was obsessed over her, it’s easy to fall in love with a person who would compromise their ethics for you. And by this point I really don’t know what I am trying to say but this is what comes in my mind after reading your posts🤦♀️
I agree.
The moral compass is not as plain as we want it to be and the world is very complex. We can't really tell what works and what not for a person. I have seen stories where FL even forgives her rapist to be with him. I didn't comprehend how it could happen when I read it (and still don't) but maybe there is someone else that does. 🤷🏻♀️ And then there are numerous novels with marital rape which according to me is as hineous but those novels are well received and read.
