I think some of the authors and some of the readers think some things that are very unlikely are real.
Getting hit on the head and then being unconscious is perfectly real. It's just that not being unconscious or being seriously injured is more probable.
Also strangulation. I've been knocked unconscious by it. But in real life the attempt might not cut off the air enough, so victim doesn't become unconscious. Or they get brain damage or die.
Then people try it and kill people. And also the sort of romance where the man is actually stalking / harassing / not accepting no. Then "wins" the girl. That's toxic and reinforces the toxic male culture and even to an extent brainwashes some women to accept harassment as wooing. It's not.
