Why so many of the 'nice guys' of pop culture aren't nice at all, but are actually master gaslighters, manipulators and emotional abusers.
, however, believes these storylines are helpful: “The truth is – and this is an ugly truth – people sometimes behave the way that is depicted on screen, and it might be important to help recognise those patterns in your life.
“I think that many times we expect somebody who is pathological to be obvious – and they’re not. There are many people who covertly have a lot of pathology that we don’t recognise because they do look helpful, they do look like they’re giving and kind. But really that isn’t how they’re oriented.” When asked if the TV and film industry could be doing more to raise awareness of these types of behaviour, Dr Hertlein responded: “I honestly don’t think it’s an industry issue. I think people, in general, need to make sure that they are seeing the world through an appropriate lens. You need to make sure as an individual that you are taking responsibility for the types of things that you are watching, and acknowledge how that’s impacting your life – if at all.
“This in itself is damaging, as people are more complicated than that. We have many parts to us as individuals, and on the TV screen, we only see what the directors want us to see and understand, but it is not necessarily the whole story.” Yes, it is important to tell all manner of stories – that’s how we, as a community, grow and learn. These insights and perspectives help shape society and enrich our understanding of one another. However, when there is a risk that these stories may have a negative impact or risk someone’s wellbeing, that’s when we have a collective responsibility to do more. Just as people buy products recommended on Instagram and they trust the news, they are heavily influenced by TV shows and films.
