As a child of the 90s, I knew when I had a daughter that I would teach her about how tv and film and media influenced young ladies about what love looks like. My husband and I do our best to model a healthy relationship.

Unsolicited Nuance :

This came up in my FYP. thank you. Do you have specific videos on each of those shows? A lot of them are my favorites and I love to rewatch with your framework to see it under new eyes. Thank you.

how do you feel about katniss and peeta in the hunger games? i love them so much but i definitely understand how they could be viewed as unhealthy

MamaAgainstDV :

love how you articulate this significant and substantial info!! I founded my nonprofit to address generational Abuse and wish i had skills to educate on social media. thank you for your service to others, including youth! 🥰💜💜💜💜

Marena | Piece of Cake Parties :

Can you give some examples of kids’ movies that have these dynamics?

Britta🧿 :

This is SO TRUE

Angelina :

I love your content ! 🫶🙌👏

Aeron, aka Innuendo 🏴📚 :

Scandal was supposed to be a love story??? Like did I not watch the same show as everyone else? That relationship was a nightmare

Desirea Corbett :

This is really eye opening. Do you have any examples of shows or movies that show a healthy relationship dynamic?

tobeawake88 :

Coco Glo :

i developed a "type" on abusive men bc of movies like this and the violence at home with my dad, i always avoided romantic relationships and now i understand why, ur videos helped me a lot thank u sm 💕💕

equityenthusiast :

I didn't have much guidance or many good examples of what healthy love should look like growing up. I used media as a teenager to figure out what I was supposed to do and what love looks like... it very much contributed to my 14 year old self FIGHTING and sacrificing everything for my 18 year old long distance boyfriend. I finally left after way too many years and way too many chances but I had to unlearn a lot of beliefs that only hurt me.

Felicia Murphy :

I just watched Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. it made me upset with how Chris Pratt's character intentionally woke Jennifer Lawrence's character 89 years early because his pod failed and he woke 90 years early, taking away her dream, but then they end up together and dying before the ship arrives at its destination because they saved the ship together.

ScrodingersTimelord :

Bridgerton! Bennadict Bridgerton! 👏👏👏

Spohn Point :

when I complained about something my ex was doing, he would point to someone doing it in a movie and be like 'see, it's romantic'. his response was never to LISTEN to me about me and my thoughts and experiences.

💎 Diamond Art Nana 💎 :

I have personally known two women killed by their abusive husbands. We need to teach our children what love is and what it isn't.

JACNM :

I've always wondered why these shows never went beyond the wedding... Could it be because the abuse can't be hidden?

nofsleftinsomniac🇵🇸 :

Scandal is sus for the actors and the fact that its actually GW and Condee

tray8210 :

No wonder I never wanted to watch any of these

HamAndCheeseOnWry :

I'm really enjoying your discussions. thank you for articulating and connecting things in the media to a culture of economic and physical violence

AlxceInChainz :

Question - dv survivor and parent here. Considering that kids will see these things with or without our knowledge or permission, how do we combat this?
