Getting the girl as a reward is more about misogyny than a the bullying lesson. I haven’t seen grease so I can’t talk about that but I really can’t think of any media examples of where the geeks become jocks and that’s seen as morally correct, which would be the actual antithesis to the lesson above. Also I meant that parents taught that, not adult media… which is for adults
Not talking about getting the girl - the two had already fallen in love at the start as they were. That’s what’s so weird.
My point is all of this stuff is inconsistent regardless of target audience or decade.
