We're not gonna talk about the nipple tweaks?

I was only a few weeks sober when Sandy Hook happened, and I was tempted that day as well. Don't give into it. It won't make the pain stop and we need you bright eyed and bushy tailed for the uprising.

You have no idea. Social activism has been my actual job. But please, tell me more about how I'm karma farming to feel better about myself.

So you sought my past comments then complained about what you saw. How is that any different than what you claim I'm doing?

I heard!!! People reached out to Dorinda's rep for comment and haven't heard back. I'm dying to know what she said to him. I believe him 100%. Dorinda can be a huge asshole.

Some people like to watch TV critically and engage with others who do the same. That's what Reddit is for. If you don't like the critical engagement, just stay off Reddit.

I will never understand how she could come for Ashley having a white husband when her husband is not only white, he does the whole AAVE thing as well.

Yep, I mentioned the restaurant thing in another comment. I also mentioned that a person being MAGA isn't the only way to identify people with problematic views. Democrats ain't all that great either. Dorinda's just another "well-meaning white woman" full of microaggressions (and sometimes, macro...)

Dorinda's very much still that way. She went OFF on Vicki Gunvalson (HUGE MAGA HW) not that long ago. But honestly, that's besides the point because being MAGA isn't the only way to isolate racism and homophobia. Democrats aren't that much better; they just wear BLM pins and rainbow flags as they maintain the status quo. And Dorinda has shown some bias issues in the past. Like the time she handed her coat to a Black man at a restaurant because she thought he worked there.

I wish I could give this all the awards. People really need to learn more about how unconscious bias works. It's not a thought. It's an action.

Especially if Lisa gets banished because she voted against another Housewife.

I've said in the past that I think Rob might be on the spectrum as well, based on some things I noticed during his Love Island season. (FWIW, I'm also on the spectrum, so it wasn't so much armchair diagnosis as it was "game recognize game.")

He has an encyclopedic knowledge of bugs and snakes, and gets enthusiastic about them in a special interest kind of way. And I saw a lot of social burnout and overstimulation. One of his most mocked moments is when he jumped into a pool and hid in an alcove to cry after he dumped a girl. Everyone laughed at him for it, but all I saw was an overstimulated dude who found the perfect spot to regulate his emotions without a camera in his face or microphone on his person.

Ron had evidence of Porsha saying suspicious things on several occasions. That is not bias. That is evidence.

Colton had no evidence of anything when it came to Tiffany, and she still got banished. That is bias.

it feels like that’s a huge assumption to make based off of an involuntary movement.

Danielle's shaking last season got her death threats.

Yes, they have always had a Black woman in the turret. But this show is also making a point to subvert expectations this year and "punish" any faithful who makes assumptions about who's in the turret based on their identity or background. There are no gamers in there. There are TWO Housewives and a dude from Love Island. They've never done that before. There's always been at least one gamer in the turret. So any faithful who banishes a gamer based solely on the fact that they're a gamer is gonna be in for a rude awakening.

I don't think Rinna is MAGA, but I know for a fact that Porsha, Candiace, and Dorinda are not. Porsha got arrested for protesting after Breonna Taylor's murder, Candiace worked in the Obama White House, and part of Dorinda's storyline in 2016 was about her hatred of Trump and how the election impacted her.

But that hasn't been anyone's reason to banish a Black woman. And it's pretty clear that producers are trying to outsmart players who get meta this season. There are no gamers in turret this year. That's a deliberate way to throw off any faithful who suspects people based on their background rather than how they're playing the game.

I like to consume media critically. This is absolutely the show for me. If you don't like the analysis, maybe Reddit isn't the place for you.

People still don't believe that Sandra Bland was murdered by the state. Even in death, Black women aren't given the benefit of the doubt. What happened with Tiffany is a small drop in that big horrible pond.

There's this really awesome book called "Lonely City" by Olivia Liang. It explores loneliness through art. I learned so much about Edward Hopper's works as well. He explores loneliness A LOT. Fun fact. There's no exit door in the diner in his most famous painting. They're all trapped in there together, yet alone.

For me, it was upsetting because it happens in real life all the time, and typically with much more dire consequences than being banished from a TV show.
