I did! I thought it wasn’t as bad as so many people said it was, honestly- even if I think ultimately he misses several critical points.

It is bad that he downplays the rape. A lot. Like so much to the point that it really worried me

oh yeah, I don’t think he even mentions the rape scene at all, which for me was the point of no return for his character.

“I said he was bad so I skipped over the rape scene because I thought I had proven that enough”. But the rape scene is the big proof that he is the villain. Also him fetishizing Latinas, saying that he would do the same to get with someone when he was a teen, and the constant sexism of the women I was not a fan of

Alex meyers makes a lot of jokes at women’s expense- not excusing that behavior just not saying this is an isolated incident.

oh yeah, I think thats definitely for sure- but I think at that point the rape had already happened (unless I’m forgetting something) so he was already definitively evil by that point.

I’m not saying Bear wasn’t the villain- he very very obviously was. But was he _always_ the villain or was his arc that he went from a nebbish emotionally stunted loser to a man that willingly controls the whims of a woman he inadvertently forced to love him once he realizes whats going on. I think Bear is many things in the beginning but “subtly calculating” is not one of them- he’s like one of the dumbest characters in horror.

That honestly makes him worse in my eyes as this is something he often does

I’ll be dead honest in saying I haven’t watched the movie, so I can’t discuss bear specifically but imo people don’t have to seem extraordinarily evil to do evil things. Someone might have the capacity for evil, but only every exercise it in specific situations, which for bear would’ve been all the power he gained over her. I really don’t know. What sense do you get from watching it?

Literally nothing he did in act one and two was inherently evil. If anything Nikki came onto him and he was respectful and accepted her autonomy. It was only until he realized she had zero autonomy whatsoever did he take full advantage of the situation

That’s objectively true. Most have thought it would be nice if we could make someone be attracted to us

You are an incel. You also said you wanted a woman to rape you so I don’t take your opinion to heart
