You're right, those are to blame too. That's why I made the comment. I didn't think it'd reach Leo. I thought I'd make a person or two think about whether that's ok behaviour to emulate and an ok view on women to have.

[โ€“] Vespair@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

I think you're making serious assumptions and assuming a binary where none exists.

First off, nobody, here or in mainstream popular culture, is holding Leo's relationships as model behavior. Leo may perhaps have "role model" status, but all avenues to which that moniker can be affixed apply to his body of work, talent, work ethic, etc; there is just nobody in mainstream culture referring to him as a role model in terms of romantic entanglements, at least not seriously.

So with that in mind, let's discuss the binary here. Things aren't either good or bad, they just simply aren't. A entire gulf of experience in neutrality lays between the enviable and damned. So as I see it, the question here, at least the one posed by my comment, isn't "are Leo's relationships enviable role model behavior?," because I don't think that was ever in question, but rather "are Leo's relationships damnedable?", and to that the answer is a clear and resounding no, for me at least.
