That is definitely one of the major reasons I can keep watching CM despite how disturbing it is - because they are so damn careful to make sure their victims are *people*, not just helpless women; and their victims aren't always victims, and have their own agency. And I love that they do it in different ways, too, that fighting back sometimes it can mean ambushing and stabbing your killers, and sometimes can mean playing along with a twisted fantasy, but it's all about survival.
