Have you guys heard of this movie? I asked ChatGPT to summarize the plot for those of you that have not heard of it.
“Obsession (2026) is about Bear Bailey, a lonely man who uses a magical wish to make his crush, Nikki, fall in love with him. But instead of genuine affection, Nikki develops an increasingly dangerous and violent obsession with him. Bear soon realizes that forcing someone to love you has horrifying consequences.”
The guy basically turns the girl into a yandere. Japan has been making shows with yanderes for decades
However, In Japan when a character is obsessed it is part of their personality by default or caused by trauma. In this American interpretation the woman is made to be that way by the guy, and thus, anything that happens to him is ultimately his fault.
I think it’s interesting how in America the awful things a yandere does is the man’s fault, but in Japan it is the fault of the woman. What do you guys think about this?
