I hope we can all agree that toxic masculinity and violence against women are social evils that we have to address as a society. I hope we can all agree that a movie that creates a protagonist that celebrates such behavior and draws in audiences to celebrate such behavior is a problematic movie.
Personally, I think we could do so much better if we tried to see what we have in common and collectively stand against something we all disagree with. I know there are many ways of being a woman and a feminist. I do find many of these ways distasteful and disagreeable. But hopefully, someday, we can have a fruitful discussion about that. However, I think we need to find common ground when we are dealing with toxic masculinity being celebrated on such a grand scale.
Anyway, I really hope I can convince women celebrating the film's success to stop doing so. I wish fans were not so one-dimensional. I know the urge to celebrate your favorite actor's success. But sadly, this is not a film to celebrate. When a popular and mainstream actor does such a problematic role, it can set the entire nation back several steps. We can and should criticize our favorites when they do something that goes against our morals.
For us to have fruitful discussion one day. We will have to take measures today.
Social Media outrage would not help because even Kabir Singh had outrage. Did it stop Vanga? No
Conversation that is needed to be encouraged is the normalisation of such action in society we live in.
About how to impart knowledge to young impressionable generation.
To enlighten them. To educate them about how such abusive behaviour should not encourage or aspired.
The importance of such chapters in our curriculum.
Education leads to building of right kind of society.
I am the only Ranbir fan on this forum and i surely don't support his character or Vanga s thought process.
Ranbir himself said that character he plays is dark and his behaviour should not be encouraged.
Stand should be about boycotting this film and all such films altogether.
Because at the end of the day, all the entertainment industry care about is money and at this point this movie is minting a lot of money.
The nation has already been set backwards when Rapist were welcomed by prominent politicians with garlands
When Martial Rape is not considered Rape.
When Men who have been accuse of physical violence and casting couch are still very much relevant.
