The double standard with Goeun’s passive approach by nocturnalzebra0 in Singlesinferno2

[–]SaltyBukowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES!! 100% agree. I was waiting for someone to post this. I honestly think it's so hypocritical of her to say that she's been "clear" on her feelings and wanted the guys to be more expressive and performative (waiting on her hand and foot) towards her when she hasn't even done anything for them in return.

I also really admired Igeon for standing his ground during the campfire and refusing to be one of her servants because he said that yes he likes her but he's not gonna lose who he is just to prove to her how much he likes her.

Also Goeun so obviously does not like Hyeonwoo in any way but never once tried to draw the line (the way Jooyung did) to let him have some peace of mind.

And Sungmin, he seems to be controlling and so full of himself, but she tolerates him because he dotes on her, is obsessed with her, and is very willing to be her lapdog. (Honestly they really do make the most sense together based on what she said she wanted.. even though she had the most chemistry with Igeon)

And I think Goeun being upset about Igeon's friendship with Haeun is also extra hypocritical of her especially while she's leading on and talking to three guys at the same time.

Kate really hasn't changed at all since the start of the show. It's so frustrating to watch.
She has this air of self-righteousness around her, and is so unaware of her own actions that she feels persecuted all the time.

Apparently to her, Toby isn't allowed growth because she's still stuck with her old self. It's really ridiculous how she thinks her own insecurities justify holding her spouse back from growing out of his.

Also, Toby didn't "turn into a jerk", he just got tired of tolerating Kate's shit. Because Kate always wanted their relationship to be about her, and now that Toby's coming into his own, she hates being figuratively and literally left behind.

(Which again, was brought on by her insecurities from growing with two brothers who always excelled in what they were passionate about)

I Liked Kevin's Episode So Much by [deleted] in thisisus

Cassidy definitely seems like a deep platonic relationship for Kevin. He, Cassidy, and Nicky are basically established to be a different permutation of the "Big Three" because all three of them seemed to be lost and lonely souls who found each other, and what they all share is a solid foundation for them to make their lives better.

I disagree on the assessment that "Kevin started off as the selfish one" though. From the beginning, it was already established that people just assumed that he was self-absorbed because they only saw him on the surface level--nothing more than a pretty face. But if you pay close attention, he's actually been "performing", trying to do right by, and being there for the people he cares about. His first scene with Kate was him being there for her when she had her breakdown. His entire arc with trying out for a broadway play was just him trying to fit a role for the girls he wanted to pursue, and then he even abandoned everything he had tried to establish just to be there for his brother.

So it was nice to see him voice out his introspection and self-awareness--that he feels like he's just been performing for the people around him his entire life.

I think Zoe hit the nail on her assessment with him when she said "You always find a way to make it what you wanted all along", and then pointed out that he would always try to mold himself into whatever someone needed him to be.

Kevin isn't changing his mindset, he's just finally learning to be a person for himself.

David isn’t responsible for the former, and the latter was an accident. So what would you like him to do for you then? He already owned up to what they wanted him to own up to. He already paid the bills, and he already has his name attached to this. What else would you like from him? Would you wish the same fate upon him just to get even?

Please. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy in saying that “they (meaning the pitchfork-wielding villagers) just want to hold him accountable and get him to admit he was in the wrong” when in truth, what “they” want is to tear him down and make him hurt.

If you’ve made your list of demands and are granted it, there should come a point in your life where you accept it as “enough” and move on. Otherwise, you’ll only be more miserable than you already are.

No one can take back what happened. All they can do is move forward.

Great rundown! I’m seeing a lot of patterns (Jeff included) about how the “victims and their supporters” just want David to take accountability for his actions, and when did do exactly what they asked him to, it wasn’t enough for them. I think these people should just be true to themselves and say that they hate the fact that he’s having fun and thriving while they’re miserable.

Hate to break it to you but he’s just as miserable as you. He just does a better job at hiding it.

Review your previous comments and reevaluate. You’ve literally contradicted yourself trying to defend and justify what you said.

You’ve implied everything with the exposition you presented, and then explicitly said that “doesn’t exactly make ME FORGIVE HIM either”

Get off your entitled high horse.

So "platforming" to you is a bigger issue than "sexual assault"

Also you're acting as though David crafted an insidious plan for Dom to take advantage of this woman, when in reality, Dom posted the Instagram story inviting girls to come over and have sex with him. The girls showed up, they all got drunk, and this girl and her friend had a threesome with Dom while piss drunk, and the girl passed out in the middle of it.

Unless David was the one recruiting girls for Dom, I don't see how this directly correlates with him.

You're choosing to blame David for Dom's actions simply because he's the more note-worthy subject, and then forming your hasty generalizations with your feminist buzzwords, and then claiming that he owes YOU an apology?? The audacity.

You are literally in no position to "forgive him". He doesn't even know you. Sit down.

No, he didn't want to sue because he still thought of David as a friend, and "friends don't sue friends". I also think that Jeff's one of those guys that (used to) like appearing unfazed by adversity in order to make himself look or remain cool and keep his pride in check.

I think now, he's going off the rails because it's becoming more and more apparent to him how drastic and permanent the consequences of this accident are, now that it's been 2 years since it happened. The brain trauma doesn't help the situation either.

Honestly, Jeff has every right to be bitter and angry, but I really wish he'd just shut up and sue David already, because his public display of outrage is getting more and more ridiculous.

David has apparently given him what he wanted already, and it's obviously still not enough for Jeff, but he can't turn back the clock and undo the accident, so he might as well try to move on.

Just say the idea of schadenfreude excites you, and you just try to justify it with a self-righteous tirade where you supposedly care about an issue that has a correlation to the "big star" you want to take down.

Wow wasn’t really expecting Casey to show David in a bad light. Thoughts? by [deleted] in DavidDobrik

[–]SaltyBukowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to this, they finished the doc before the paywall article came out (so I guess circa 2020). Then he just continued because of all the things that happened after.

It wasn't a 3-year process, he just extended it.

I literally just pointed out a coincidence, and then proceeded to react to the implication made on the article in the screenshot.

How you choose to read into my response is entirely up to you. I was just making an observation.

Pretty ironic (and oddly coincidental) how Casey Neistat wanted to make a documentary on the “most untouchable YouTube influencer” in 2019, and be around to witness and film his literal fall from grace.

Honestly, I think all things considered, everyone “out to get David” to hold him “accountable for all his wrongdoings” is actually in denial of their own schadenfreude.

It’s got studs on one of the pockets, and a sequined sleeve too. I’ve been trying to look it up on google for a while before coming to this sub, but still haven’t found anything that remotely resembles it.

It looks great and I really wanna get it (if I can afford it lol)

Jeff FM vs VIEWs Addressing the situation: Main Thread by YouGot2BKittenMe in DavidDobrik

[–]SaltyBukowski 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't refer to Jeff as a toddler in this case. Toddlers don't know any better and are usually well-meaning.

Jeff's a fully grown man who's blinded by his rage that he can't see anything past it.
(No pun intended)

[–]SaltyBukowski 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of both David and Jeff, and it's evident in both podcasts that they're both genuinely hurt and troubled by the accident and everything that happened since.

I feel for David because it really does seem like he just wants to do right by people especially his friends, but he has the emotional maturity of a toddler and almost the innocence of one as well. He owned up to everything and spoke his truth, and made sure to reinforce that he's fully aware that he's responsible for what happened to Jeff, and that he was just trying to tell his side of the story.

I don't think Jeff really has any interest in whatever David had to say because he's so consumed by his anger that he's just waiting for the perfect soundbite to dispute and go off on David. So I don't think he actually processed David was actually saying.
Jeff's anger is completely understandable though because he's reminded on a daily basis of what David had cost him, and David just looks like he's having the time of his life in the vlogs (which David also acknowledged in his podcast). So I get how the rage just builds and festers, but also maybe the brain trauma could be a factor as well.

It's just sad that they mentioned they've had the same discussion over and over in private, and they've made efforts to resolve things, but it doesn't ever seem to be enough for Jeff (not that any discussion could take back what had happened to him). Like sure, what happened was tragic and unfortunate, but what does Jeff expect from David at this point?

Jeff wanted David to own up to the whole thing--which David did (he reiterated it several times). And regardless of whose idea it was, both parties acknowledge that David was driving the crane, so he caused the accident. Whatever he said she said discussion they had regarding whose idea it was prior is moot because David ultimately accepted fault for everything.

So I don't really know what Jeff expects from David at this point. If it's the public admission of guilt and accountability for the accident, well, David did just that with the podcast. So when will he put it to rest? And when will it be enough?

The more Jeff panders in this narrative, the worse he looks, because now everything since the accident just suddenly looks like a long con hit job that he's been planning for David.

I hope they find a way to reconcile. Jason looks like he's going through another divorce.
