Get angry at me all you want. Someone had to say it. Literally made a tumblr just to say it.

The way Janine treats Egon in The Real Ghostbusters is honestly gross. 90% of it feels like borderline harassment and let's be honest here, some of it is. And I'm so tired of people passing it off as ushy gushy love between them.

Egon is very clearly uncomfortable with most of the things Janine does, most things she surely shouldn't get away with. Constantly grabbing at him and not letting go (Citizen Ghost) hell even has to kinda force her off here, putting her hands on his chest or forcing herself into his hold (Cry Uncle, Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster) in which each time he awkwardly puts his hands on her shoulders and changes topics. Jesus Christ the amount of times shes kissed him without any sort of permission (Egon's ghost) and don't get me started on Janine's genie. Poor Egon was basically drugged in retrospect in order to fall for her. The scenes between them here are creepy at best. Forced to act in a way he clearly wouldnt do unless under some influence. What if she hadnt broken the spell and gone further? It would've been r@p// at that point. Hate to break it to you but if she has to wish he was head over heels for her, he probably isn't, and I really hope the guys can't remember that day due to the wishes or god help them all. I get it the guys don't really seem to look after Janine like they should, but that whole episode just showed how bad she is in response as well.

Forcing Egon to go to her families for dinner when he so very clearly didn't. (Janine's day off) You shouldn't have to drag "your man" along. Every single thing they do together is almost always forced, I.e., Janine dragging him along to something he clearly doesn't want to do. The face he makes when she tries to get all comfortable against him in the taxi with Peter (can't remember episode) and boy even Peter gives him a look of "I'm sorry" cause hes so clearly uncomfortable and she just keeps pushing. Not even going to count anything in "Janine you've changed" cause the episode is god awful and shows just how much anyone cares about anyone there. How do you morph your entire body and have no one notice? What if shed gotten killed by it in the end? That's neglect on everyone's part.

I find it funny that all of these things we frown upon and call Peter gross and a scoundral when he does them, yet Janine is setting the standards for a firey love and totally not pushing boundaries when she does them. It's not okay. She can take Louis and get outta here because Egon honestly deserves better. I dont care wether Egon actually liked her or not, because I sure as hell know if someone I liked did all this to me I'd definitely lose feelings like a pin drop. I shouldn't be manipulated and forced into a relationship and neither should he. Glad its not canon. Have a good day
