Re: Relationship Drama

OP

I'm not against relationships? I'm baffled as to why so many of them are so messed up. If most people are in poorly functioning relationships, shouldn't they instead be encouraged to end said relationships without guilt or judgment rather than having it reinforced that that's the only type of relationship out there?

I know the internet hates happy couples, but my god, why is it a media cornerstone to perpetuate harmful ideas about these things?

But why does relationship drama have to be the major or only conflict of the show?

Yes, how boring TV would be if people had realistic reactions to things. OH WAIT, ATTACK ON TITAN IS POPULAR.

But who the heck identifies with over dramatic relationships like you see on tv now? The will they won't they and break up each week and epic drama over the littlest thing? Most people I know in relationships do not have that drama. Outside of high school, that is.

I think it's less that people identify with horrible relationships and more that they get a thrill out of seeing fucked-up things that don't reflect on themselves, like rubbernecking at a stranger's car wreck. The ones who've actually been in such a car wreck - or bad relationship - are the ones who want to see detailed reminders the least, IME.

NAYRT

I'm in a relationship and I like to see things on TV that I can identify with. Except I've emotionally matured past middle school and appreciate the value of communication in a healthy relationship, so cheap relationship drama tends not to do it for me.

It sells, but not for the reason you're saying. Or at least I (and apparently the other anons) disagree with you.
