I don't men getting forgiven is bad because 'we shouldn't have those stories'. I think we have so many that it's kind of unhealthy, culturally, what a dominant narrative it is. I think a lot more variety in how forgiveness is or is not handled would be a much better counter to that excess than some kind of hamhanded attempt to censor a story that isn't bad in itself.

Every individual story where a woman forgives a man a terrible violation for obligatory romance has less cultural power to say 'this is just the natural way of things' if there are also stories without forgiveness or stories where it goes the other way. If we had a better variety, I wouldn't mind Passengers existing exactly as it is. The answer is more stories, not less.
