IchWeiss IchNicht

Absolutely understandable. But even though X is full of immature, insecure men who try to compensate for their own shortcomings by taking their frustrations out on others, that doesn't mean we should paint all men with the same brush. The fact that some men can develop genuine romantic feelings for a woman they've never even met, someone whose voice they've heard and whose photos they may have seen, is honestly a mystery to me. And it probably always will be. I suspect that emotional insecurity plays a role for some of these men. And that insecurity can lead them to compensate by projecting strength, acting overly protective, and displaying excessive loyalty. When a woman plays with those feelings, that's already a moral issue. But when someone like Nikita deliberately exploits those feelings and insecurities, plays men against each other, and uses their desire to be seen as strong protectors to turn them against people who have seen through her behavior, that's a whole different level of manipulation. The men who fall for it may be naive or act without thinking, allowing themselves to be dragged into conflicts they don't fully understand. They become part of the problem, but they may genuinely believe they're doing the right thing by protecting someone who, in my view, has cleverly convinced them that she's the victim. The greater moral responsibility, however, lies with the person who deliberately creates this dynamic, exploits other people's feelings for personal gain, and turns people against each other. Because to me, there's a world of difference between someone who gets manipulated out of misplaced loyalty and someone who knowingly exploits that loyalty to manipulate others.
