the whole "toxic Latina girlfriend, toxic boyfriend thing is so retarded. i dont understand why people act like being toxic is something to be proud of. why are you bragging about being jealous, controlling, or emotionally unstable instead of working on yourself and healing. i honestly blame shows like 'You' at least to some extent. (dexter mogs) obviously people know its fiction, but I do think media has played a role in romanticizing obsessive and controlling behavior. characters who are jealous, possessive, or manipulative are often made to seem attractive, mysterious, or passionate instead of genuinely unhealthy. after seeing that kind of dynamic over and over agian its not surprising that some people start confusing toxicity with love or think those behaviors are somehow desirable
same goes for people who say they want a toxic partner. i think a lot of them have become so used to unhealthy relationship dynamics that they've started confusing toxicity with passion or love. its honestly concerning how much people have normalized and romanticized toxic relationships instead of recognizing how damaging they can be
attractiveness also plays a huge role in how toxic behavior is perceived. when someone is attractive jealousy, possessiveness, or controlling behavior is often dismissed as being "protective" "passionate" or romantic. but when the exact same behavior comes from someone unattractive its seen as creepy, insecure, or a red flag." double standards go crazy.
