I have some female friends who are especially outspoken about toxic masculinity and how "yes, all men" treat women like garbage. Among these friends, their favorite characters in TV shows are always the womanizing sleazebags like Barney from How I Met Your Mother
My question is simple: what the fuck?
Himbo effect. They’re just fictional characters lusted after. Women know they aren’t “husband material” they’re just horny
It’s like when dudes say they like the bimbo/whore character, make the “I’d let her cheat on me” joke, it’s the same sorta non-serious lusty dumb comment you’re not to take seriously
The “Why do women only like stupid jerks who treat them like shit ? Why do guys only want bitchy bimbos who walk all over them ?” Meme is something you’re supposed to understand is dumb cringe after you interact with enough people

Tv shows and movies nearly always romanticize toxic characters, and has the leading lady end up with a horrible guy who in the end magically switches personality and becomes a decent person. In shows it's done because people get a kick out of watching the drama between those characters, and I suppose it satifies the whole "I could fix him"-thing that is a common mindset that isn't very realistic.
Shows are an escape from reality. Most comedy shows have horrible characters but that's why it's fun to watch. You probably wouldnt like those people in real life but on screen you do because the writers can give them redeemable qualities and amazing character development.
Those sleazeball characters are often the funniest characters on shows as well. They are written to have the funniest lines and interactions with other characters and that is what one likes about a character when watching a show. I think you read into fiction too much.
I dont know much about that character, could you name a character from a movie?
Women secretively love being dominated. Its not their fault. All women are hard wired like that. Problem is when men take advantage of that. That's why we have so much of feminism these days.
of course its normal, all i want is for a hot dude to call me a dumb slut and tell me to go to the kitchen.
