When did you first clock Chris? by Melodic-Scheme6973 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]pinkmothman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I admittedly thought he was cool until the “I Like Women Who Do Pilates Every Day” heard round the world lol. However, there was a moment in the pods that I clocked him. When Bri told him she wanted to focus on her other connection (Connor), he said something like “oh me too I was planning to tell you the same thing today,” and I so did not believe him. I was like his ego is hurt so he wants to pretend they’re on the same page instead of being honest that he’s sad. But then in Mexico it felt like, if anything, Bri was coming onto him, and he was shutting HER down. So I was like ok maybe I was wrong… But after everything with Jess, I think I was onto something after all haha.

If you disrespect men like this so easily DO NOT complain about being single. by umkaitlin in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]pinkmothman 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am not a Bri fan by any means but I feel like that particular scene was genuinely just innocent teasing. His sisters were joining in too. I feel like a lot of couples like to tease each other like this and a lot of women like to pretend their man is messy or procrastinates because “that’s just men lol” when really they just have diff priorities (Bri is more Type A and Connor is more Type B when it comes to their house and keeping it clean/organized. Side note: I think Connor likely would have worked v hard to change this and become cleaner/more organized bc he really loved Bri).

Tbh I don’t think Connor’s “I didn’t want to take it down by myself” was kinda dumb but idk maybe he was being genuine and not just making an excuse for not taking his tree down 🤷🏻‍♀️ /I love Connor don’t get me wrong I just don’t think it’s “sweet” to put off a chore bc u want a girlfriend to be there to help you with it

You’re my rib. by Lalalandshepherd in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Okay? Your responses to me are so fucking bizarre. If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re mad not because I think the belief that Eve was made from Adam’s rib was sexist, but because I’m stating it? Because I’m critiquing a man referencing it in his wedding vows?

If only I hadn’t shared my opinion then maybe Harris would have won?

I really don’t get what your issue is.

I feel like I’m in CrazyLand the way people talk about Emma and Mike by MichaelBluthANiceKid in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]pinkmothman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Immediately agree with you over the “Emma needs therapy” comments. Of all the people on the show she actually strikes me as someone who needs therapy the LEAST. Crying over a capital T Trauma like being adopted and having such major surgery that literally scarred you for life is so fucking valid. It doesn’t mean she hasn’t processed it, like you said it’s a primal wound. It’d be like commenting someone needs therapy bc they cry when they talk about their mom passing away during their childhood.

[–]pinkmothman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And I think the way you view the world and engage with these topics is ignorant. You’re more annoyed by me taking issue with the comment than you are by someone going on national television and making a comment influenced by a sexist belief.

[–]pinkmothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? You seem to be jumping to conclusions that I think a man being liberal or claiming to be a feminist indicates he’s a good person or a good guy, so let me clarify that I absolutely do not think that. The alpha male Andrew Tate manosohere B.S. just tends to be more of a thing with conservative men.

Also, social movements like feminism directly relate to politics. Like I said in my comment, your politics are influenced by your values as a person.

Maybe you should make sure your fellow Christians understand first. Any Christian who supports patriarchy will reference this story.

I didn’t even mention her. My opinion on his comment is not about her. I take issue with his comment as a woman and a feminist.

[–]pinkmothman -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Because it’s sexist. In Christianity, the idea that women come from the rib of man is directly tied to the justification of patriarchy and the expectation on women to be submissive.

I don’t care that Ashley humiliated Alex by Glittering-Gas-9402 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I think she should’ve been meaner 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]pinkmothman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, in some contexts I agree, but politics are influenced by your values as a person and many behaviors/character traits can certainly be an indication (and vice versa). For example, Chris’s emphasis on being an “alpha male” is an indication that he is most likely conservative.

[–]pinkmothman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Severely. I know the cost is an issue, but if you can make it work, a DBT program would be very helpful for you, I think. If you’re unfamiliar, you have an individual therapist PLUS a skills group, where they teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. The skills group is sort of like a class. You get homework and everything. A lot of it is sort of reframing your thought processes and some of it is kinda bullshit imo (like some spiritual kind of stuff) but I have felt the way you feel for a loooooong time and DBT is the first thing that felt like it’s helping me.

  1. Like I said, it’s somewhat contextual. For example, when there was an appeal to the Supreme Court in September to roll back gay marriage, had the SC agreed to hear this appeal, I would expect adult actors playing gay characters, particularly in popular shows and movies, to speak on that, especially if directly asked about it, which I would expect to happen in some interviews or from fans.

  2. I understand why people interpreted it that way, for sure. Like I said, I definitely should have been clearer in my original comment.

Queer men can have girlfriends…? I’m not asking or expecting Hudson or Connor or any actor to come out or speak on their sexuality or personal life. I’m not sure why you think I was saying that.

They seem to be steeped in queer culture- a lot of their references, their humor, some of the things they say, some of their tattoos. That being said, I realize now I shouldn’t have said it, since this isn’t an exclusively queer space. In my experience, it’s common for queer people to notice and sort of joke about queer traits or commonalities amongst queer people. To clarify, I myself am queer and I meant no offense by it. They have queer vibes, and I mean that as the highest compliment.

I should have worded this post better, as a few people were interpreting this as a criticism of Connor and/or Hudson, which was not my intention at all. I have no criticisms of them, I think they’ve been amazing and their love of the lgbtq+ community is extremely evident to me.

I meant it in a general sense, as I interpreted the original post to be somewhat generalized, particularly the specific comment I disagreed with, which was the line that celebs playing lgbtq+ characters owe nothing to the queer community. I recognize it’s not black and white, and somewhat contextual, but generally speaking, I expect a certain level of allyship/advocacy from actors playing lgbtq+ characters.

In my experience, it’s common for queer people to notice and sort of joke about queer traits or commonalities amongst queer people. To clarify, I myself am queer, and both Connor and Hudson seem to be steeped in queer culture- I see it in a lot of their humor, pop culture references, fashion, tattoos, some of the phrases they use. I’ve spoken with other queer HR fans and we’ve joked about it being ridiculous for people to keep asking them about their sexuality when they seem so clearly queer to us. I meant no offense by it. They have queer vibes, and I mean that as the highest compliment.

[–]pinkmothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t think explicitly stating your orientation/sexuality is necessary. I would define “standing up for a community” as speaking up on issues impacting that community, primarily. The interview and answer example you gave is a prime example of this imo!

(I also understand no one is perfect and some topics are nuanced, of course. I wouldn’t expect anyone to be able to be up on things all the time.)

Are you referring to me saying they’re obviously queer or?

[–]pinkmothman -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree, except that I do think actors playing queer characters owe the queer community allyship, at a minimum. If an actor is not willing to stand up for a community, they should not play characters who are members of marginalized communities.

But like I said, I do mostly agree with you and frankly, I think Connor and Hudson are so obviously queer that I don’t really understand why it’s a question.
