And the fact that such movies are getting blockbusters, clearly shows that there is something wrong in our society, and it should be a matter of concern.
for an ex. Is it acceptable to have a lead hero raping a woman on screen? No. But stalkers are okay. WHY? because of the mindset.
P.S For everyone who does not understand anything, kindly stay away, this is not a troll topic.

Absolutely..Agree with this part completely...This is the mindset of our male dominated society..People find rape a crime..but for many stalking is okay..and when you ask for a reason..men will have the same age old cliched answers..like it was for fun..or they didnt hurt anyone..i have some terrible personal experiences too of this kind of stuff..and its pathetic to say the least..And the point which is notable here is when they see their favourite actor doing all this..they think there is nothing wrong in it..So in other words these movies glorify the wrongs to the limit..that people start believing it as no big deal

Exactly my point. I mean stalking is just unacceptable, rude, and violation of privacy. And in real life, stalkers are a mishap. And it's scary actually.
But you know what, what's the logic of some people, that if their favorite is doing it, then its not wrong.
