I am okay with movies depicting misogynistic, offensive concepts (I'm not foolish enough to educate myself by watching movies), but when a regressive idea is promoted as being the norm, or a good thing, and worse, the majority of the moviegoers end up embracing that concept - I find that to be the most offensive thing.

Exactly, that's the reason why I feel offended at most of the soaps.

The impact of a movie stays on one's mind for only a few hours or a few days, but these soaps have been yapping  the regressive idea in his/her face days after days, months after months, years after years,...   😵

...the topic is abt films tht u find offensive...

not being offensive urself and bullying other members...

hope the ppl concerned understand and learn to behave. 

As for ekta soaps...yes they are boring and long drawn out, but i wouldnt call them regressive at all. The female characters in her shows always stand up for themselves, she shows progressive thoughts like widow marriage, rape victims getting their justice and getting married and leading a normal well settled life, marriage between ppl belonging to different age groups, women taking charge and calling the shots in the house while the men being relegated, women who are educated and some who are the breadwinners for their family, ...i dunt find anything regressive abt tht. 

Yeah, her shows have depicted some good things, like the empowerment of women, sometimes even without the help of anyone, etc. But at the same time, a lot of negative issues of societies are depicted in positive light, or just brushed aside. Marital rape, for instance, is a common scenario in most Ekta soaps, and baring a few cases, the issue is never dealt with properly.

Similarly, at times, forced marriage is shown as "the rightful thing to do" or "a little mistake" at the very least. In fact, victims of forced marriage are often asked to "move on" or "just deal with their 'fate'". But that's not just limited to Ekta soaps, though.

Tulsi, parvati, Prerna to the recent Priya from Bade acche lagte hai, all her female characters have been progressive who stood up for their rights, most of the times without the support of their families or their husbands...

Her shows maybe annoying, boring, draggy and what not. But i would not call them regressive.
