I don’t understand the whole trope of “I can fix him”, like in romance novel when a woman falls for a toxic guy but it’s somehow justified by his troubled past and/or the woman ends up changing him. (*cough, cough* Colleen Hoover books)
I understand the demand for morally gray characters, especially ones with interesting backstories, but at some point a line is crossed. Like…I’m fine with these kind of men in fiction, just not as the main love interest.
Then again, I’ve never been into “bad boy” characters. I’m more into a big, goofy himbo type with a heart of gold lol.
