I was way too young to understand what was going on in the film, however, I read this theory on Reddit explaining Jenny resented Forest and connected him and everything in their town with her molester-ass father. It suggested since Forest was always with Jenny, there were occasions where he was right there while Jenny's pops was doing his sick shyt, but just didn't know what was going on due to his condition.

The movie is a classic. Jenny is the villain.
Nope. She's no villain. She just did what is in her nature as a woman. The real problem character in the movie is Forrest Gump. He's the idiot who keeps simping over her despite being curved at every turn.

Jenny's character was fine. It was actually a good portrayal of true female character. Forrest Gump's character was the abomination. There was nothing honorable or celebration worthy about his character.

There's a reason men don't wife up hoes. Jenny was out here getting ran through by every a$$hole she met. What do you think has a higher likelihood of happening? Her getting pregnant by Forrest after their one and only sexual encounter or the countless other men she been getting ran through by?

Hoes never change their ways. That was some other man's child. She prolly don't know who the father is either. She's just hoping its Forrest so she can saddle him with the child. It's a classic female mating strategy. Saddle the beta male with the child of an alpha.

Loves the movie! I thought Forrest Gump was on the spectrum?? Nevertheless, I wouldn't put him in a Simp bag because he knew no better. He loved Jenny which is natural. He accomplished a lot of things despite is cognitive and emotional limitations.

Lastly, it could have been his baby. Remember that Jenny did give him some pity p---y before she bounced on him for the last time. She reached out to him because she know she was dying and she also knew that Forrest would take good care of the boy.

Not gonna lie, I didn't like Jenny's character, but I do understand that she like this happens all the time. It is what it is! *shrugs*

Great classic flick!

I don't blame Forrest for being a simp. Like you said he didn't know any better. My issue is with the reverence for his character. His story is a sad one not happy. He spent his life chasing a hoe that didn't want him. And despite all his accomplishments he ended up being the loser who got left raising some other man's kid from the whore he always wanted. His story should be a warning to men. Not something to be celebrated.

My nikka @Swagnificent back with his hot takes :ehh:

To say gump chased Jenny is a stretch, they just kept in touch, and randomly would bump into each other, my man lived a life most would dream of, star football player for the tide, army hero, his own business, and due to stocks a millionaire… and if the family never sells it to date probably billionaire, forest always had a soft spot for Jenny because they were friends from an early age and went through the rough times in their early life together, that man retired and lived comfortably
