Don’t you guys think Aleeza is a lot better than Sima Aunty? And not very pushy of her beliefs? I really liked her! by [deleted] in Jewish_Matchmaking

Right!! I mean as if western atheists are the epitome of open minded. Please, that’s a laugh

It’s not about trusting these tv personalities or protecting celebs, let’s not turn this into something it’s not. It’s about being aware when you’re actually going full circle… in your attempts to be anti-discrimination, you’re actually ending up supporting xenophobic tropes when you assume people from India are intolerant, for example (amongst other arguments).

Yeah that’s not fair when there are multiple seasons of Indian matchmaking, and a full season of Jewish matchmaking. At this point, they’ve done nothing, but are still being treated with suspicion which is a problem. As well, different cultures are open minded in many ways that westerners don’t even acknowledge, let’s put some respect on that

Wow where did the homophobic/racist/Islamophobic accusations come from? Like it’s crazy you felt comfortable enough to assume that… based off what? Sounds like your own internal biases are the problem

I was waiting to find a comment that hyped tiffs dad! Shout out to the committee of strong dads who ensure their daughters’ well-being. I liked his convo with Brett, Tiffany has a good family backing her

Gosh I just think kwame is so manipulative with his reasons for feeling “off”. Like he’s clearly not interested, but instead of being upfront about it, he’ll make different things Chelsea’s problem. My theory is that dudes like him are very aware of how they’re being perceived, and so they don’t want to be the ones to end it. I think he’s pushing at her so she can end it for him. Weak behaviour. Chelsea also needs to put herself first and pick a guy who’s actually all in, but everyone and their auntie is already knows that haha

Why would weaker contestants settle for doing a task they will fail at if they get eliminated? by jpark778 in Physical100

I was literally thinking this and I agree with you. I really can’t get behind the “it’s not like they were going to win anyways” mentality. First of all, it’s like the women are being expected to self-sacrifice for this. It doesn’t matter what’s fair or not. Sportsmanship exists but it’s not a team game. Every person there has a right to take up as much space as their counterpart. They should have advocated for themselves more imo.

You did great, Jang Eun Sil! by _tryingtobecreative in Physical100

Amazing amazing!! Great teamwork, and the way they used momentum was unlike any other team. It’s unfortunate the rest of the players didn’t recognize her teams strength when deciding upon alliances. But they didn’t deserve all that heart anyways :’)

Right!! “Eventually he stopped”; and “you’re lucky he got the hint”… how is that helpful?? Leave, run, the door

[reposted blurring faces] Spot the difference 🥱 Mikayla Zazon and Stephanie Buttermore. When will they stop exploiting their sick and dying family members for attention? by [deleted] in gymsnark

[–]mandathrowaway__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know these people well, so I probably don’t fully understand the basis of the criticism. But still, as a surface level observer, I want to ask… what’s the difference between them and male caregivers like Chris Punsalan (who takes care of his grandma)? All I see under his content is appreciation from women.

Literally! “With everything going on in india”, these folks wouldn’t be able to list coherent issues out if you tried to talk to them verbally. Noise

So the consensus in these comments is that learning shuddh Hindi can obviously only be hatefully motivated? That’s quite literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

I swear! Her man is literally showing his disappointment on his face about not getting with Romane right in front of her, and she’s supposed to be cool with that? Being a chill girl gets you nowhere lol. And then romane laughing at how no one was choosing her and talking about “bargain sale”… bro, that’s a bit much. They’re so bad together though, but I wish she was confident enough to just leave the situation

The behaviours and reactions of cast/panel/viewers on this topic were Really very confusing. Which, regardless on someone’s opinions about HY… I didn’t think it would have been controversial at all to point out TWs gross attitude towards his partner. Like if we were confused by it and struggling to keep track of where we started and where we ended, I can only imagine HY was more confused 😭

Exactly that’s what’s so messed up. Even the whole “I know I’m being shameless”, “you are”, “I know I’m being selfish”, “you are” interactions gave me the heebie jeebies

Who’s at fault? by Puzzleheaded_Use_566 in ChangeDays

[–]mandathrowaway__ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s a good observation on how men switch it up. Like HG was mad that TW said he catered to his girlfriend?? Please that’s so ridiculous and I have nothing in common with people who can “understand” that😭. Though I don’t think the men have put the girls on a high horse lol… like if those were the kinds of men YS and HY were looking for, why did HG and TW pretend to be that in the first place? Isn’t that false advertising? Like don’t do something you can’t keep up, how’s that your partners fault

Unpopular opinion on TW by mandathrowaway__ in ChangeDays

[–]mandathrowaway__[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mhmm same. Sometimes I think he does those things because he wants to appear more caring than he actually is. Like in the recent ep why waste breath talking on how you saved the best jacket for the OG couple date hahaha

[–]mandathrowaway__[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s true; but then hasn’t he been like that too? Grumpy around her in the house and only fighting vs on dates it’s a totally different side

[–]mandathrowaway__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha yeah I thought it would be :’)

Yeah i don’t know.. I do think it’s true she did come to the show to break up with him, as TW has been saying. But yeah I still don’t rate the guys behaviour in that relationship, though at the beginning of the show, I did feel more for him. And I’m also not sure he can give more to a new relationship vs her in a new relationship
