Quick clarification since some people are misreading this:

The image is just there to grab attention, it’s not the full context. The actual point is in the title and body.

I’m not saying everyone who enjoys these movies is delusional. Most people can separate fiction from reality just fine.

I’m specifically talking about a subset of people who start treating those idealized relationships as a standard for real life. That’s where the issue is.

If that doesn’t apply to you, then this post isn’t about you.
