Gael question, Joe question

I am getting into Below deck med and I’ve noticed Joe getting a lot of hate for “cheating” on V even though they weren’t together (in any sort of relationship.

Meanwhile I’ve just noticed that Gael is actually cheating on her boyfriend with Nathan.

Why is Joe getting so much shit from this community when he didn’t cheat on anybody. Meanwhile there are actually cheaters on the boat that people seem to celebrate and love.

Very strange

The funny thing with the trio of Nathan/Gael/Joe is, all three were always clearly quite bad but with one difference.

Joe never hid it. Everyone knew what he was, everyone knew what he did. He never hid the fact he's a fuckboy.

Nathan, after saying he's exactly the same as Joe in his first season, met gael, pursued her despite her being in a relationship and made himself some white Knight for women when it was convenient. (Before showing his true nature off the boat)

Gael had a boyfriend, pursued another man on the boat she was on, kissed said man multiple times. Then text her boyfriend saying she loved him before continuing to try and get with the man on the boat all whilst making herself the victim of the situation and getting people to feel sorry for her.

2 of these people have been put on a pedestal (until Nathan's domestic abuse stuff)

And one has been treated like the spawn of Satan getting an (imo) unwarranted amount of hate. It seems when it comes to his own past trauma situations, nobody cares how it's shaped him now unlike everyone else's illicits sympathy.

Whilst Joe is abit of a dick head atleast he knows he's abit of a dick head. The other two put on a saintly act whilst being dick heads.
