Any Media: shows rape and other violence towards women, kills them off for shock value, etc.
Cis Men: a billion reasons why it’s justifiable, realistic, she had to die, and anyway this is fiction why are you so upset???
Any Media: shows a woman flipping that power structure on its head, sticking up for herself, or even just slightly inconveniencing a man.
Cis Men: this unspeakable violence is terrible and evil and cannot be allowed to stand!!! Imagine if someone did this in REAL LIFE! Don’t you know fiction influences reality? What kind of role model is that for children, THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
