Romantic storylines often involve power imbalances, which can be influenced by factors such as social class, ethnicity, and disability (hooks, 2000). The portrayal of toxic relationships, abuse, and coercion in media has become increasingly prominent, raising awareness about these issues and sparking important conversations (Bonomi, 2016).
