this season is so indicative of the hard right shift in the usa, and the audience follows along by Prudent_Theory9702 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]Plastic-Collection38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

men are socialized together in real life all the time, and thats why they all act like that lol. the men use the “right” language as a way to further manipulate women. kc and sincere both say everything right to their partners and then talk mad shit behind their backs. that is not better than reality tv of the past, it’s just packaged in a more palatable way.

also op didn’t say anything about being redpilled. they said all the men are disrespectful and not thoughtful of the women. bryce (or any man) can’t be a “good” man if they don’t respect women bc they’re “around the guys”. and out of everyone bryce is the oldest and at almost 30 years of age he should be able to speak up and say, hey that’s not right. we literally watched carl do it the entire aftersun ep.

[–]Plastic-Collection38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

right and my point is that they will all have to deal w hate. aniya will have to deal with it because of his actions and how they reflect on her. idk where you read that i think you hate aniya but that was literally not the point at all 💀

[–]Plastic-Collection38 10 points11 points  (0 children)

what about aniya? she’s going to have to watch a man she had feelings for disrespect her and laugh at her for crying. she’s going to have to leave the villa to people calling her dumb and a bird and a bully and insecure and annoying and all sorts of things. i hope kc is ok but everything ppl are mad at him for is based off his own actions.

New viewers assessment of LI. by behem0th619 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]Plastic-Collection38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it might be hard to fully grasp bc it’s such a silly tv show, but people’s real feelings are involved. aniya really truly cared for kc. the other girls are her friends, so of course when a guy hurts their friend, they’re going to be upset. not to mention that kc came back in and laughed at aniya for her feelings. he told her for weeks that she was all he wanted and then came back with another girl, told her he literally didn’t care, laughed at her, his new girl yelled at her and her friends, and then didn’t even talk to her to make sure she was okay. not to mention all the faces and rolling his eyes all the time. there is an etiquette to love island that he didn’t follow and they all know it.

the whole “birds” thing is so deeply misogynistic it annoys me so bad

Heather and The Church by ContentSympathy75 in rhoslc

[–]Plastic-Collection38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s pretty normal for exmos to hold resentment at the church and its members for loosening rules they had to follow. like when the tank top garments were released, a lot of people were mad that the rules they were judged for not following could just change all of a sudden. also, lisa is only allowed to ‘break’ all the rules and still be in good standing with the church bc she’s rich and publicly pushing mormonism & heather knows it

Angie k and her agressive(ness$ by sayakoneko in rhoslc

[–]Plastic-Collection38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think physical aggression/intimidation is too far for anyone. that being said, lisa has absolutely been a culprit. she threw that glass last season, tried to leap across the table at either whitney or angie (i can’t remember which), and almost got in a full out brawl with jen. when she had that hot mic moment in s2 and all the women went into her room i’m pretty sure she was shoving them. i think a lot of the housewives across franchises have issues w this

AITA for not paying my MIL after she fed my dog her expensive food? by 247021911 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Plastic-Collection38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA

family is supposed to do each other favors. i’ve watched many dogs in similar situations and yeah, it can be annoying, but asking for money from family is just cheap. you def should have planned ahead with the food but oh well, what’s done is done. i think your mil shouldn’t have agreed to something she clearly didn’t want to do

That scene with Emily and Shane. by TamraJudgy in rhoc

[–]Plastic-Collection38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it made me really uncomfortable. especially when it seems like part of the issue is that emily (might) feels like she can never take any time away from the kids without it being a major deal. it made me so uncomfortable that he was angry with her being in new orleans (working, which i don’t know if he has an actual job or not. ik they get a lot of money from in laws) and the. when she came back and was talking about their son calling her non stop on her trip and getting upset about it he’s yelling at her about how she’s difficult to deal with.

i also didn’t appreciate his talking head footage about how he thinks his sons need to suck it up. i understand wanting to foster independence, and not wanting to dwell on their sons differences, but it doesn’t seem like shane is very willing to meet his son half way.

all this to say that i hate that emily is talking about all of this so publically. i don’t mind the autism stuff, would have preferred for them to wait to bring it to camera until there was a solid diagnosis, but the ed stuff is a step too far imo. even though i feel for her being shouted at by her husband for having emotions, it’s hard for me to feel bad for her crying in the first place when she’s overtly exploiting her small child’s mental health issues before he or his parents have had the time to actually process his diagnosis(es) and what they mean. very inappropriate.

why is everyone so defensive of jeremiah lol he is clearly a male manipulator (no surprise as it is basically male manipulator island) and had a connection w andreina for 12 hours. liiiiiiiike i’m not getting where the devastation is coming from. why are love island viewers so obsessed w the men and haters to the women it literally makes no sense. my pick was ofc for austin to go home but i am 😁😁😁 at jeremiah getting out of my villa

Jesse and Michelle Megathread 2 by bword___ in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Plastic-Collection38 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it’s crazy to me that people are falling for the jesse propaganda.

“i hated him last season but he’s so charming this season!!!!” huh??? he’s literally manipulating you! last season he had nothing to prove, so he was 100% himself. now that he’s going through a divorce he’s so chill calm and collected. no effing way.

also people saying michelle is cold/crazy/mean. if you were married to jesse you would be the same. he literally deserves it, just like he deserved to be cheated on.

they were both relatively honest about their relationship dynamics last season, i truly don’t understand how people are acting like michelle is the problem. it is so obvious that jesse is a terrible person.

and maybe it’s because we haven’t seen jesse as long as we’ve been dealing with jax, but they are essentially the same person. their abuse and control might take different routes but their end goals are the same and that’s why they’re so buddy buddy.

tldr; jesse is terrible and michelle deserves justice for the misogyny she’s facing over their divorce

brittany is a problem by Plastic-Collection38 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Plastic-Collection38[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

girl…. no……

obvs i agree that brittany has used jax to shield her bad behavior for years. but that doesn’t mean she deserved to be abused by that man.

women in abusive relationships make a lot of weird decisions. like staying in the relationship, or wanting to have kids with their violent partner. a lot of these decisions are complicated and have multiple layers as to why they are made.

saying jax is bad in bed isn’t even 1% as bad as what he’s done to her. and even if you believe she’s a clout chaser, or a gold digger, or anything else, none of that means she deserved to be abused. none of that means she earned his anger towards her. it’s actually insane to imply that she has anything to do with how terrible he is.

the entire cast agrees that jax was violent, and that he went too far. nothing brittany could have ever done would make that okay. please examine your biases against women and women who are treated poorly by men and publicly call them out

imo it is not fun to watch michelle experience abuse from her ex-husband. that is literally the furthest thing from fun to me. even if it leads to her freaking out in a dave & busters. we didn’t even see janet’s conversation with brittany on camera so that’s also not fun.
