CW: Till The End Of The Moon ep16 rant (~spoilerific)
I just _can't_ with the Scheming Scorn Woman trope. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. Both because the behaviour itself is mean, but also because it's such a stinky depiction of women. And I can't in any way see what the appeal is to keep a trope like that in a story. It's just ugly!
I need to see if I can find a written summary of the episodes online, because I can't watch beyond this point.
