Romanticization and Commodification of Toxic Relationships in Books and Media || Killing Stalking, 365, Twilight, I Believe in a Thing Called Love
Description
Hello!
I felt the need to talk about how much toxic relationship is shoved down our throats and it is called Tropes. No, they are not tropes, I have read and watched mental illness, toxic relationships, being romanticized into something that it is not. Especially when impressionable people are reading and watching these representations, I recently started reading Killing Stalking, and falling down the fandom hole opened my eyes to how different readers understand the relationship between these two damaged characters. Films such as 365 and 50 shades of grey are two of the most prominent representations of the commodification of mental illness such as PTSD, depression, and Stockholm Syndrome.
