The movie obsession, its fandom and its content

Okkk, so I'm sure everybody under the sun has heard and/or seen the movie obsession. It's become a very popular movie, having a large 'fanbase' and 'fandom' due to its popularity. If u haven't, here's a synopsis:

After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic gets exactly what he asked for. However, he soon discovers that some desires come at a dark and sinister price. This is a movie that handles dark and complex themes. It explores themes of consent and sa. With that being said, this is kind of a rant about the media I'm seeing surround this 'fandom/fan base", and why its disturbing me.

I use twt for mostly wlw art and cat videos, and Tumblr as well as a blogging sites. On both of these, I have never looked up, or shown any interest in the movie. While I'm on twt, a nsfw clip pops up. Its caption has very sexually explicit comments about Nikki, the main character in the movie and the victim who had her bodily atomony ripped away from. Again, I'm on tumblr and nsfw fic pops up about Nikki, describing obscene kinks that she would be into.

Now, some might be asking what's the big deal, but to me, I find it incredibly weird that you are taking this movie about a women losing her bodily atomny and ability to consent and control her own life, and sexualizing her. There is nothing wrong with watching the movie and thinking shes attractive, but I feel for certain movies and the topics they disgust/ handle, we as a 'fan base' should not sexualize anybody in the movie. I feel odd and uncomfy reading a nsfw fic about smb from a movie and majority of the movie is her having no bodily atomony.

Let me know your opinions and if I'm low-key tripping

YES I came out of that movie sick to my stomach, wanted to see what ppl were saying and it was a bunch of people saying they'd do the same or taking the pics of Nikki from the movie and writing self insert fics it was just mad weird. And all the men who defend Bear and think he wasn't the bad guy also make me sick to my stomach. Like imagine seeing the movie where they clearly state that SHE SAW HIM AS A LITTLE BROTHER, see how uncomfortable she was at the prospect of him liking her romantically, hear her poem about Hansel and Gretel, and come to the conclusion that she was into him anyway... delusion and audacity

I don't know what else to say, but I do agree with you on this and I think that's very messed up honestly.

I think the concept of the movie to begin with was absolutely messed up as well.



I can see that, but the ppl making the content is like babes what are we doing
