Are you a fan of mafia films, gangster flicks, tragic death dramas, or thrillers about serial killers? A shocking new study suggests that you may be more susceptible to relying on ‘sugar daddies’ and leading a ‘sinful’ lifestyle than you might think.
The research, conducted by renowned sociologist Dr. Morton Bell, posits a fascinating and unsettling correlation between the consumption of such cinema and dependence on financial benefactors, known colloquently as ‘sugar daddies’. According to Dr. Bell, “the inclination to consume dark, violent, and tragically intense cinematic content seems to create a pattern where individuals feel drawn to easy lifestyles funded by affluent benefactors.”
A sample of 1,000 self-proclaimed fans of mafia, gangster, and serial killer films was taken into consideration. Astonishingly, the study found that 70% of the group had either considered seeking, or had previously been in, relationships primarily defined by monetary exchange.
Dr. Bell suggests that the tumultuous, dramatic, and often violent world these films portray could potentially desensitize viewers to the ethical considerations usually associated with the idea of ‘sugar daddy’ relationships.
However, critics argue that this study has significant limitations, such as the small sample size, a lack of concrete causality, and an overreliance on self-reported data. Despite these points of contention, this study certainly raises intriguing questions about our cinematic preferences and the unexpected implications they might have on our lifestyle choices.
Remember, correlation does not always mean causation, but it may be worth reconsidering that gangster movie marathon you had planned this weekend.
