Why can’t it be healthy?
I think the article touches on it, but it seems like that’s simply part of a community-building aspect for young women.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoIt seems like the mirror image of teenage boys who start raging when they do badly in a game. Lord knows I was one of those teenage boys, and that level of emotional investment really is tied in with community-building, but my friends and family would have been doing me a disservice if they told me it was healthy to get so worked up.
- mrweasel 6y agoI’m not a psycologist so I wouldn’t know, but doesn’t that ignore the fact that some of these bands, books, movies and series specifically target young girls and exploit this sense of community building and turn the emotions and expect reaction up to 11?
