Our Drinking Game for this Story:

Take a drink:

• Every time you can say you’ve experienced some of the toxic masculinity that Joe exhibits. Like his entitlement for your actions or his controlling nature.
• Joe says he’s doing something for YOU Beck.
• Every time Joe wacks off in an unusual place.
• Every time Beck leans into her codependency with any other character.
• Take a drink when it just becomes too much with these characters because it’s just a lot.
• Pro Tips: Lock your doors and maybe just have curtains when you’re drinking.

Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.
