The situation of a woman being pressured into accepting a proposal by a crowd chanting “Say yes” reflects the problematic nature of emotional coercion in relationships. It’s unfortunate that such pressure can make someone feel obligated to agree, even when they’re unsure. However, responding to this with violence, as suggested by the comment advocating for the crowd to be beaten, is equally troubling. Violence is never a solution to emotional manipulation or societal pressures. Instead, we should focus on fostering an environment where individuals are free to make decisions without coercion, whether emotional or physical, and where consent is respected without external pressure.
