Name & Shame Romanticised Abuse in Lead Roles

Actors, companies, countries that choose these sort of stories: once or twice can make for interesting stories. Anything more and it's promoting a culture of abuse as romantic & natural!

Examples: demeaning, extreme control, punishing (for not liking back, for having "disobeyed"...), humiliating, tracking, stalking, confiscating phone, kidnapping, keeping prisoner, chronic shouting, insulting, regular forced intimacy (kisses, bed sharing, rape...)

It's scary how much of our media intake is actually Abuse & Violence. Look no further than the views (and our ratings!) for all these dramas and movies! o_o
Below is a quote you can edit/POST below YouTube videos, & REPORT them for celebrating these scenes & scenarios. EDIT what's in bold to fit the specific problems:

NO to romanticising violence against women! >_< Rape is not love; it's not romantic; it's ABUSE. #NotBuyingIt  

TO REPORT VIDEO:  "Hateful or abusive content" > "Promotes hatred or violence" > Romanticises marital rape & abuse!
