That’s a good point, but then it begs the question of how innapropriate it is for that context. Nikki was a pretty good allegory to a lot of the issues women face around societal pressure, rape, and social consequences, and to make the possessed Nikki a villain kind of reaffirms Bear being not the villain. From what I saw Bear was single handedly the villain.

I mean the demon was there, and at the end people died, but before that moment Bear knew she was possessed and selfishly still wanted the relationship.
