My wife's grandmother was watching one such movie recently during a visit.

CW: Emotional abuse.

spoilerIt is about some HOA president (yes, that's how the movie describes him over and over, as a full time job) that keeps showing his romantic interest in the leading feeemale character by fining her and citing her for insufficient holiday decorations and other such "why don't you smile more grillman " abusive shit for the first half of the movie.

The rest is other people in the Black Hole Sun music video worthy town passive-aggressively reminding that feeemale character how the HOA president was looking at her while she scoffs and rejects the abuse... until she doesn't. And that's the happy ending.

Scary shit. It's intersectional: providing what the demographic wants and expects and further normalizing and expanding upon it.
