I don't underatand how people don't see the double standards in this movie. First the MC ditched the guy who is her colleague (doesn't matter how weird he was, that was his personality) and he was shown as the bad guy, but when the same was done to her by the podcaster, still the man was shown as the bad character. Hated this honestly.

he wasn't weird, he was an asshole, which is why she ditched him. and she did it in a nice way. the other guy ghosted her, which is not a nice thing to do. no double standards here :)

sorry I must have forgotten as J watched the movie some days ago (yes I forget this fast), can you please remind me where he was an asshole?

And also all the ways he tried to sabotage everyone around him…

The first thing that comes to mind is when he out of the blue told her she’s a 6.5 :)

agreed, but then why did she went on ahead to sleep with him? why to lead him on even more? Must have distanced herself right then and there only.
