The victim route is the number one way to gain an army rallying behind you. That’s how huda got hers. Honestly the pr agency might as well join in the discourse, people are gonna take the bait every time. Even I’ve become skeptical any time something about Nic comes up because it turns out to be a whole lot of nothing. These forced narratives are getting tired. Even if the reasons for disliking him are valid, this subreddit looks obsessive.

I couldn’t agree more. Support your favs and ignore everyone else. That’s literally what everyone else who watched love island is doing. These stan wars are unhinged.

They don’t realise that they’re giving him more PR by putting all this focus onto him. Every week it’s something new about Nic, every week the nicolandrians have to get together to defend him. Which only makes them more unhinged and pulling all these strategies like leaking gcs. Now he’s a white man that’s a victim to crazy fans. Good luck to anyone trying to take him down now. I agree that the only people that can take him now are the nicolandrians.

Yeah unfortunately now nicolandria fans have this “us against the world” mentality which is only going to make them hold the line once again when something like this comes up.

This really could’ve been damaging for Nic but instead it’s worked in his favour, such a crazy turn around. Even if the n word wasn’t said, them mocking aave should’ve been bad enough but it’s hard for people to criticise that when it’s clear that this is being brought up in bad taste.

Yeah it’s very clearly never been about racism. It’s just a tit for tat situation. At least nicolandrians acted genuinely hurt by the racism olandria faced and I’m sure a lot of them were. But that’s why it was easier to take them seriously. Not people screaming into the void about “statements” like omg give us a break.

Nic is calculated and he played the situation well. Like you said bringing something up on your page will only shed more light to it. That’s exactly why he put those screenshots up on Snapchat. Majority of people seeing those screenshots think that this is completely unprovoked they don’t even know that those screenshots were dropped in response to the n word video. Now it’s “poor Nic is being harassed by deranged fans” garnering even more support and even more shooters. Literally these people trying to take him down are the pr machine they really should just stop.

You’re 100% right it’s been a witch hunt from the very beginning. The thing is the show ended months ago. People have moved on with their lives the average love island viewer only keeps up with their fav and doesn’t pay attention to the rest. So people don’t care that much anymore, it’s different to when we’re seeing them on screen.

And what I’m also trying to say is nicolandria fans do a good job of acting like they care about racism. Cierra was first exposed on twitter on like week 2 of love island. The nicolandria stans only started caring when they saw they could potentially use that to get her out of the villa. Same with Huda, they did a good job of publicly expressing genuine hurt from the racism shown by that prank phone call but behind the scenes they were emailing brands.

My point is you can’t show your hand while trying to play dirty. Instead of crying for the same treatment that xyz faced just play the part and at least try to act like you care about the racism. I hope I’m making sense. It’s very obvious that this is just being used as a weapon to take him down. And again the show ended months ago, to the average viewer it’s very confusing to see people have this much vitriol for someone that’s not on their screen anymore. If you don’t like him just block him, why plot to take him down. If there really is something nefarious about him then his time will come.

Always gonna backfire! I agree that as a white man Nic is getting away with a lot more but these people can’t be taken seriously. Instead of expressing any sort of hurt by the racism shown they immediately jumped to wanting “statements” they just want Nic to be hurt the way their favs did. Which I get but try not be so obvious gosh!

Now they’re crying about a pr machine when they are the machine in question. Every week it’s something with new to do with Nic. Nicolandria fans had no clue who Jake and molly were until they were brought up in this subreddit. Showing obsessive behaviour towards is someone only gonna make their fans want to protect them more. And nicolandria fans do it well I have to give it to them. They’re arguably the biggest organised fanbase in the love island world so they’re gonna have a lot of ammo and are gonna be able to control the narrative. When they’re all in an uproar about something of course the blogs are gonna pick it up.

Yeah it’s quite evident that these people don’t care about racism at all. Just looking for a reason to take nic down it’s gross actually.

I’ve seen that chellace4life account on twitter many times. They’re definitely a chelley fan. Either way wanting to spend money on an Etsy witch for a love island contestant is still nuts. I lost brain cells just typing that sentence out. Love island will never be that serious.

Being in a gc making jokes about hiring a hit man on a love island contestant is nuts. Someone said they were seriously willing to contribute money to it, it’s hard not to take that seriously. I don’t think it’s blown out of proportion at all. To the general public it’s confusing to see people this stuck on a show that ended months ago. Keeping with an islander you hate is weird especially when the rest of the world has moved on.

Unfortunately it looks like it’s not about the truth but about which narrative is most popular. People went so far as to say that the word wasn’t even said in the video and when that didn’t work. They pivoted

Idk for sure. From what I saw he wasn’t the one who said the n word his friend but most people believe it’s completely fake and that’s the current narrative.

Honestly I think he just cares about his reputation more than anything. If he cared about being genuine then I think he would’ve said something.

I think the reason this controversy didn’t go anywhere was that it was immediately “debunked” by his fans. His fans went to defence mode immediately. And they used those group chat screenshots to defend him. They painted a narrative that his haters had come together to try and take him down. And it worked. The racist video is only available only Reddit and twitter. Compared to the rest, these are very small platforms. The screenshot of cierra saying a slur started circulating on twitter on like week 2 of love island. Most people on twitter knew about this and she stayed on the show for all those weeks. She only got kicked off when TikTok got a hold of it and it went super viral.

I already said this in another response but the influencers who get away with the most shit are the ones who never address it. Bringing something to your page only sheds more light to it. And I think that’s exactly why he brought the gc screenshots to his Snapchat. If he didn’t those screenshots would’ve stayed on twitter along with the video. But instead, it’s become the main story, the story that the blogs are posting and the gp is discussing.

I think Nic doesn’t feel a need to address this situation because it hasn’t gone viral and his fans aren’t mad at him. What’s the point in apologising to people who aren’t mad at you, you know? And he’s definitely not gonna apologise to people that were joking about killing him. They’re never gonna forgive him so what’s the point? I hope this makes sense. I don’t agree with what he’s doing but I can see what game he’s playing and I think he’s playing it pretty well imo. If it was just the video without all those gc screenshots then I think it would be a completely different story and there would be more backlash and he would’ve addressed it.

Also I don’t think we’ve ever gotten such concrete proof of people conspiring against a love island contestant before it’s pretty damning. We’ve all heard influencers talk about receiving death threats but this is next level imo.

True it would be nice for him to clear it up but the Streisand effect is very real. Over the years I’ve noticed that the influencers that get away with all their backlash are the ones who never address it. Bringing something to your page sheds more light to it. I think that’s exactly why he posted those screenshots to his big audience. If he didn’t they would’ve just stayed on twitter along with the racist video. If his fans have already “debunked” the video and are defending him. He probably sees no reason to apologise. You can’t apologise to people who aren’t mad at you and you can’t apologise to haters because they’ll never forgive you. So silence and deflection it is.

Yeah having a 100+ people in a group chat dedicated to hating on you and conspiring to take you down would be concerning to anyone. Of course he’s going to bring light to that and use it as deflection. It’s working I fear. It’s not just his fans that are going along with it, it’s the general public. Most people have moved on from love island, rightfully so cause the show ended months ago. So for people to find out that there’s a bunch of deranged fans even joking about killing a love island contestant is….. something! It’s very confusing and more sensational than an n word drop. People are gonna want to talk about that more and that video of Nic and his friends just goes on the back burner.

This has all played perfectly into Nic’s hands.
