From what I’ve read, the general consensus seems to be that Emma planning and preparing a school shooting (up to making a kill list, recording a manifesto, practicing, and bringing a gun to school) should be forgiven because she didn’t actually do it and shows remorse and that Charlie shouldn’t be concerned. I can’t help but feel that this discourse would be very different if a male character had the same confession—I think it would be a lot of discussion about this being a massive red flag and that their partner probably wouldn’t and shouldn’t feel safe around them, in part because, as pointed out in the film, the vast majority of school shooters are indeed white men. Thoughts?
