  • I’ve held the belief that (for his time) Gaston was a good guy.

    He liked Belle, when the rest of the town said she was weird for reading.

    He’s clearly respected throughout the region.

    The beast (after being cursed for being a dick to strangers in need) did kidnap an old man and then did a prisoner swap for a girl he intended to groom into a sexual partner.

    When the kidnapped man returns to the village and everyone refuses to believe him, Gaston does and leads the charge to rescue his daughter.

    The fact that Belle was successfully love bombed and groomed doesn’t make Gaston wrong for coming to rescue her from this rich noble that was kidnapping people.

    It really isn’t, BUT American media is a power house globally and makes many of our cultural events more prevalent than reality. If you travel the world, you’ll find things far worse in India, Brazil, Mexico, and really most non-first world countries. I mean theyre so afraid of homosexualty in parts of the world they consider you a demon and kill you.

    One of the reasons you hear about it in the USA is that its considered newsworthy. If it was as common as you were implying it would be like reporting on the prevalence of turkey sandwiches for lunch. We dont eat them all the time but its not weird or rare.

    Modern men are engaged with their children of both genders and youtube has further propped up the narrative that being a good father means doing so at only a positive reflection of your masculinity.
