That makes him weak at the very least. He buys into toxic masculinity, buys Nate's b.s. and decides to get unnecessarily aggressive with his poor girlfriend. It's like she said-He needs permission before he does freaky things like that.

A real man wouldn't listen to any opinions but his own, let people get involved with his relationship and treat his lady(and all ladies) with love and respect. You don't ever ever lay a hand on a woman or do something without her permission and consent.

I think he can redeem himself by not doing that s**t ever again. He needs to tell Nate, his kid brothers and those jocks to stfu. I don't see anyone being interested in those two s. Nate is bitter about his breakup and those other guys might just be jealous. If he stands up to Nate and shuts down his kid brothers. They shouldn't have even been around, but Nate is a jerk. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I don't get why everyone is so outraged. I was shocked as hell, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It's HBO and frankly, buying premium tv means you'll see boobs, violence and whatever the hell the show wants. No one said it's a show for children. In fact, Zendaya specifically warned everyone that it's triggering and graphic.

Now Apocalypse is so much worse. I wanted to watch n/c of Avan Jogia, but it wasn't to my tastes. That many sex scenes in a row felt like porn. My dad watched Game of Thrones with me on and off and the same goes for Outlander. Now Apocalypse disgusted him.

Teenagers do get up to messed up things and tbh, it's not new. Skins touched upon it in both countries and in the 90's, KIDS and a few other movies showed extreme stuff. I disagree about it being Gen Z. It applies to X and Y, too. Their experiences were different based on the time/era and tech. That's about it.
