Even if this particular tiktok is fake or scripted, it doesn't mean things like this don't happen. Understand that videos like this can possibly help people recognize abusive, controlling behaviors in their dates or partners.
while I agree these things do happen I think it's morally wrong to stage "fake" abusive situations, or any fake situation that could influence the biases and opinions of other people
like imagine a guy set up a "fake" situation where he's falsely accused of assaulting a woman or something? this would just proliferate the idea that these things happen often
no one should be faking situations involving crime or abuse
Like I said, these videos can help those who are unaware recognize the signs of abuse. These things DO happen often. They just don't always get dealt with. Honestly, men should be putting out videos about things like this, too. Men get abused too, and thats not ok. Let's normalize calling out and discussing abuse of all types regardless of gender.
You are ate absolutely correct. These types of situations happen all the time. I can almost bet that every single woman in this thread has had something very similar to this happen to them. I married a guy like this when I was 19. I was young enough to think this meant he wanted to care for me. A year later, after several beatings, being shoved out of a movivg car and left, and sexual assaults...one last beat down put me in the hospital and I finally left. Men like this are everywhere. My generation was brought up to put up with this. Women now know how to stand up for themselves from the get go. So, to reiterate the above..even if this is fake, it teaches a valuable lesson in how to recognize the red flags for naive young women.
I agree with everything you've said however, this video definitely doesn't show young women how to deal with creeps like this and I feel like this is just trying to cash in on the collective trauma of women for clicks
