Some of y'all genuinely hate dudes and honestly, that's super cringe

I get your view on this, but I very much think that you're looking at this from a modern context and not in the context of the 50s.

What is "normal" now and what was "normal" back then are very different.

Back then, the man was the leader of the household. What he says, goes. And it was expected that the woman facilitated that, especially when it came to matters of raising their children. Knox is one of the characters explicitly stated to come from money, and you don't get to that level of rich in those days by being socially liberal and promoting equality. Chances are, he grew up in a household where his mother's opinions weren't really taken into account and were often ignored when she did express them, so I don't wonder that he doesn't really value Chris' input into what he perceives as their relationship.

Of a similar vain, he goes to a highly traditional - even for the time - all-boys boarding school. He won't have interacted with many girls and he won't have seen many relationships to build his perception of how those interactions should go. In an era where "go get your girl" was a common theme in romance movies, chances are that's the only concept of the act of romancing he'd ever seen. We saw his confusion when Charlie said "women swoon". We saw his clearly out-of-touch nature with teenage culture of the time when he arrived at the party in a full suit. This is not someone who is acquainted with "normal".

Now, do I think this means we need to excuse his actions because "he's just a product of his time"? No. We can be critical of the character and understand the effects his actions have on Chris particularly. Does this mean everyone should like his character? No, once again, we should be critical of him and how he is presented.

However, does this mean he's a destined predator who did this all on purpose because he's a malicious stalker? No. He's a tragically misguided teenager whose story is just another reason as to why the system these boys are in doesn't work.

People are WAY too chill about Knox. He is a creep, this is coming from a guy who HAS BEEN STALKED and someone who has been HEAD OVER HEELS for a girl before.

His behaviour isn’t normal, and I don’t know why the fandom pretends it is. Chet was right to punch him.

Chris was a sweet girl, maybe a little flattered by Knox but she (from my memory) never seemed comfortable and like she did not want him around. But he didn’t care? (“But she went to the play with him/showed up to Welton” — Yeah. When you’re being stalked or made uncomfortable you’re not always going to run the other way, she seemed to and he didn’t care. With my own thing, I would hang around the individual because that was easier than trying to hide. Has no one seen Baby Reindeer?)

And I just want to say this is quite similar to when I got stalked the first time. Chris and Knox, maybe they’d be cute. But what is not cute is how much of a creep Knox is?????

I had been head over ASS really, for a girl (who I did date on and off jan2020-jan2024.) and I never did weird shit. Honestly, it could have been down to my anxiety (hello, bisexual Todd Anderson here.). But even then, with anyone I have dated, I’ve never been like that with them.

I like to think I was better, respecting boundaries (Knox fails to.), and I’d just kind of act the same sort of way regardless of my own feelings towards people I was interested in. I never fucking stalked them or showed up to their school? (I’ll admit I’d be caught if I did considering my uniform was that generic private school strict stuff compared to laid back public. I’d had a light blue polo and a maroon blazer(and/or) maroon sweater, and black bottoms compared to the surrounding schools which were all public and entirely different. Public vs private were VERY noticeable difference in my area, you didn’t need to know the school - look at the uniform and know public or private.)

I’ve also never wanted to do that? As a 17 year old boy, I have NEVER had the desire to stalk someone I’m interested in. I’ve not been rejected by anyone I’ve asked out, but if/when that does happen I wouldn’t keep attempting to pursue something.

(No means no, in all contexts. No to sex, to a relationship, to plans, to a hug, anything. No means no regardless who you say it to and your relationship to them.)

Knox and I are definitely very different people, but I’ve never been that weird about someone I’ve been interested in. The weirdest I’ve gotten is literally talking dramatically about marriage or whatever with them to my friends (very privately).

Knox was weird. I don’t like the ‘ship’ with him and Chris because it did genuinely seem more as though she was confused and flattered but also pressured. Do we not see women reject men and wind up dead? Women will literally go out with a man so that they don’t..

Like I don’t intend to make it sound so serious because it’s a 35 year old movie set in the 1950’s. But people downplay it so much in the fandom, like I’m sorry but how are you going to /love/ Knox and hate Cameron?
