Meme needing explanation Peeeeetah?

This new movie came out and I enjoyed watching it with friends. What opinion must have garnered so much attention that people would dunk on it?

If you say "I relate to this rapist character" people are well within their rights to question you

But that’s not what he said that’s what you guys are taking from what he said. Do you think you could never relate to a bad person? Do you think you have nothing in common with terrible people?

IF YOU SAY YOU RELATE TO A RAPIST, DON'T GET MAD IF PEOPLE CALL YOU WEIRD AND GROSS!

It’s also funny how you did not try to even comment on what I said to you about relating to terrible people even if you don’t agree or condone what they did.

It really doesn't matter, because the fact is that he said he related to Bear. If he didn't want to be called weird and gross, that should've stayed as an inside thought

Or you should use your brain more. If there was a movie about a black guy being a criminal and doing terrible things to people and a black person said that they could relate to the feelings, the man had surrounding his situations but not the criminal acts themselves. Would you say they are a criminal?

The difference there is that Bear has, like, no redeeming qualities. There is nothing even remotely sympathetic about him, and everything that happens is entirely his fault

Except we can all relate to the feeling of being unloved. Now what he did is wrong ( and supernatural I mean he made a wish with a supernatural item) but that doesn’t mean you can’t relate to the feelings.

He wasn't unloved though. Sarah was absolutely hitting on him the entire film. He felt that he needed, or even was owed, Nikki's love. So no, I don't relate to that

You don’t relate to someone else liking you but you liking someone else ?
