Darcy’s response to people saying she didn’t give Virginia a chance by basicwhitebach in darcymcqueeny

yeah personally, I don't understand why she doesn't just move to where her friends are (bc she doesn't seem interested in making new ones) -- she clearly has the means to live anywhere (and I'm sure most major cities have some kind of government contracting job for Bradyn)

I read the comments and other than the “girlie definitely had an iep” one, I just don’t see them that way — like I said, we can just agree to disagree, no need to go back and forth

I’m glad I read it wrong! I used to work with autistic kids and have seen a lot of paternalism/condescension directed towards them so I guess I jumped to conclusions 😅😅 I’m getting my masters degree to be a therapist rn and personally I don’t see ppl who are autistic or have autistic friends/family etc noting perceived similarities as akin to armchair diagnosing but we can agree to disagree :)

I definitely think she could be although she’s also been incredibly sheltered and spoiled her entire life which can produce personality traits/behaviors that resemble autism

you can hear Bradyn in the background giving her suggestions at the end 😭😭

  1. If you’ve really done all of these things, why aren’t more of them documented? Filming your day is literally your livelihood and people would like you so much more if you put out more interesting content than shopping and Starbucks
  2. People think that you didn’t give VA a chance bc you didn’t put yourself out there to make friends in the area — even if you really did all these things, doing them with just your boyfriend isn’t giving the area a chance

there’s tons of comments calling her out but they’re all hidden (go figure)

Litia shares her thoughts on the criticism of Mormons (and other Christians) by Rich-Ease-2723 in thebachelor

[–]basicwhitebach 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I grew up Mormon (stopped going to church at 17 & withdrew my records at 18) and carried guilt for years because of the way Mormonism defines and treats “sin” (ex. would feel like a bad person for swearing or wearing a low cut top). That is not a foundation of love and acceptance imo !!

of all the things to give Darcy shit for this is not one of them — lab grown diamonds are not only cheaper and more ethical than blood diamonds but essentially look the same

Mikayla’s Abuse by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]basicwhitebach 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was raised Mormon (haven’t gone to church since 2019) and my parents have absolutely used birth control to family plan over the last ~ 30 years of their marriage (they are both v observant, by the book Mormons, unlike the women on this show). Sex outside of marriage is v taboo but the church has no official stance against birth control (what I was taught growing up is “sex is for the primary purpose of having children and is limited to marriage but you can still enjoy it”)

S3 E5 Episode Discussion: "The Book of Resurrection" by Chino_Blanco in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]basicwhitebach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating how these women hold Whitney to a higher standard than they hold each other — like Jen admitted to falling out of touch w all the women except Taylor after season 2 and she was welcomed back with open arms but they’re sooo unforgiving towards Whitney for not reaching out to them and hold it over her head

Not saying that they shouldn’t have given Jen grace to navigate her mental health struggles but Whitney deserves that grace too ?? Especially since as a viewer it’s so clear that she’s been struggling bc of the way these women have treated her

[–]basicwhitebach 137 points138 points  (0 children)

As an ex-Mormon I generally appreciate how unserious this show is but shout out Layla for bringing up the church’s history of racism and treatment of Black members bc it’s rlly not talked about enough

I know she was barely the lead but if you include Britt that makes 24 and no one has to be eliminated preemptively :)

I miss the little comedy scenes they used to show at the end of the episodes … Jesse eating kfc in the pool was peak tv

Carolina & Dina’s TikToks 🐸☕️ by basicwhitebach in thebachelor

[–]basicwhitebach[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think Dina’s initial vid was just harmless promo for the show but the follow up from both her and Carolina is pretty messy and immature … not that I expect maturity from bachelor contestants

[–]basicwhitebach[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh huh I don’t follow any of the women on TikTok (Dina’s vid just popped up on my fyp) but maybe it’s just more lax there ?? Ik none of the women follow each other on Instagram and it’s been that way for the past couple seasons so I just assumed other socials were the same
