I kind of don't like this thing that happens in many sitcoms where characters are complete assholes to each other and prank each other and shout at each other 90% of the time and then they shoehorn in stone heartfelt moments where they get all lovey dovey with each other and you're supposed to get the impression that actually, they really loved each other all this time

Lowkey normalizes abusive relationships

@schratze Same thing for all the pseudo-romance filler in what could've otherwise been good fictional shows, especially in the US. Lots of abusive behaviour and people unable (and unwilling) to deal with jealousy, always the same tired "oh no two people like the same other person" trope, and never any capability to deal with it like an adult. And often even an explicit "yes I know that was shitty of me, but I loved you, what can I say"
