It appears you might be thinking coersion equals physical violence. That's not what we're saying.
I know exactly whats being said. Im not confusing coercion with physical violence. Paul still didn't coerce MJ in any way. He was just as trapped as she was.
While MJ is not necessarily a captive, she is in a traumatic situation where there is no way out and she is forced to rely on Paul to survive and has no other social resources; that is very similar to
Stockholm Syndrome especially as Paul has all the knowledge and thus power in this situation
No its not. Let's break this down.
Paul didn't capture MJ. We don't know WHAT MJ is capable of at this point in time when Peter returns including survival wise. And MJ made the CHOICE to be trapped there. That last one is a big deal because she has had full agency in everything that has happened beyond the fact try were all sent there in the first place. Stockholm syndrome doesn't apply in any way shape or form, and its misusage here is quite telling.
There is no real consent if you are not in a mentally capable place to give it.
She is and was. If your notion is to try and claim she wasn't mentally capable to make any sound decisions you're going to need a lot more than this to sell that idea because what I saw was MJ making conscious decisions throughout. This infantilzation of MJ is very odd and strange and just as problematic as what you're claiming the setup is.
Regardless, let's say MJ is in full possession of her faculties and actively gives full consent - which is fine! Women can sleep with whomever they want as long as there is consent: the character is still going to raked across the coals by a not-small segment of the audience just for being a female character who didn't remain "pure" and "true to her love" and Marvel absolutely knew how that portion of the audience would react and leaned into it to better assassinate her character. That's my actual point.
Sure; but MJ has never been fully pure by that regard and itd nothing new for spidey either. Sooo.... screw those guys who think that lol
Just look at how Gwen was characterized by many after Sins Past, and why Spencer thought it important to retcon that story.
Sins past has a metric ton of issues that have nothing to do with misogynistic reactionsto Gwen being a woman who decided to sleep with another guy.
It's a completely different scenario. Rose doesn't have to be with Jack. Rose can leave Jack. Rose doesn't need Jack to navigate her world or to survive (which is made very clear
). And the same goes for Jack. They choose to be together, they are not forced to be together. That's the difference.
being together and being TOGETHERarent the same thing and MJ and Paul weren't forced into the later. Were not even sure they were forced into the former.
Tarzan had all the advantages of knowing the jungle, it was his home. Regardless, Jane was not his captive (I'm going with Disney for this one) and Jane had her own resources. Jane could walk away at any time and be fine; Tarzan could walk away at any time and be fine. They were not forced to be together.
