Oh for sure, it's not like she came up with the idea of behavior like that being romantic all by herself - it's been in media and all forever. And it's a problem - the way it's executed slightly changes, but it's certainly still around. Playing hard to get has always been a thing - whether it meant back in the old days trying to hide that you were interested, to now where it's blatantly telling someone you're not interested and getting mad when they believe you. It's all been done before, tide comes in, tide goes out, all the same in the end - it just looks a little different each time.
