It is not funny really, it is awful how the media brainwash the whole humanity from babyhood onwards.
And it isn't only about relationships with all the romantic crap but also nutrition and all the advertisement of junk food and fizzy drinks; health and the promotion of pharmaceutics (better take that aspiring than treat the underline cause of your discomfort AND expect to get sick in the winter), and what is worse, alcohol and cigarettes consumption. How about consumerism and the suggestion to by all the things that we don't need?
Sorry, I know I am ranting, but people are suffering in the world mainly because of the media which serves the few who are in power.... Just saying...

Agree, and beyond the pop culture teaching us how to accept abuse, I think it also teaches people how to abuse others. Avoidance, detachment, narcissism, etc, are all glamorized in the context of relating to others, especially in dating habits for the single crowd. Ghosting in dating, the swipe culture where you rack up bodies upon bodies, the idea that whoever shows vulnerability in a relationship first "loses", etc. We end up treating each other as disposable.

I think the media also makes out a little bit that we can fix other people, that "love conquers all" and that people can treat you badly and reject you and then suddenly realise their mistake ha ha

When I saw 50 shades of gray - I was like " How do people not see this guy is a crazy stalker?!" but the media glamorized this crazy behavior as romantic. Maybe a bit extreme when viewed from a DA, but I think of it as dangerous. We can't help but to caveat that it is at least slightly romantic - but when he showed up at her family getaway - it demonstrated how the media tells us stalker = romantic
