People who romanticise problematic tropes?

What do you think causes it? Do you think it's a combination of desensitisation, disconnection, or something else? For example I remember discovering problematic fiction young, and some classmates discovered it even younger and they were very desensitised, also I noticed some people are less "in tune" with the world
and nature for example I have shit instinct and never catch red flags IRL until it's too late while I know people like my aunt that can immediately tell when someone feels creepy (e.g. celebrities that turned out to be rapists) and she's had crazy numinous experiences an out of body experience during a coma while I feel a lot more disconnected. What are your thoughts? Experiences?

Serious explaination so bear with me. Desensitization is one aspect, a big one likely since rape as well as in recent times absolute mental nutjob love interests is a HUGE trend that's made appealing by great art.

Might be some different causes: people who are really lonely and never had healthy relationships who like the idea of a person caring about them so much that they’re obsessed/yandere, being exposed to it in media they consume and therefore getting it normalized for them, and people who are just naturally freaky(?) I feel like how consuming prob...... reply
