I think part of him definitely represented that sure but it was def meant to be more broad. I saw it more as a reflection of how patriarchy tries to force women into submissive roles for men. I think it wanted a lot of toxic men to think back on their “crazy ex” and actually consider how much they fed into her “craziness.” Ultimately, the final message is clear… Niki was a victim of the three people’s obsession over HER. All of them obsessed over her for a different reason.
like genuinely it filled me with rage because even after bear got what HEEEEEEE FUCKING WANTED, he couldn't FUCKING handle her and WAS EMOTIONALLY CHEATING ON HER. just cause nikki got there in time and prevented him from actually cheating. and then the FUCKING SCENE, where real nikki wakes up and is BEGGING to get killed, not begging for help, BEGGING TO DIEEEEE AND HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO ACT LIKE THE FUCKING VICTIM LIKE SHUT YOUR FACE YOU DUMB MF I HATE HIM I HATE HIM
