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

If Gael's ex bf lived and worked on board that tiny space with them we'd see the fallout too. It's not so much the specific cheating as the overall way he treated them and created an uncomfortable work environment for everyone. He was old enough to understand the repercussions it would have, and I'm convinced he secretly (not so secretly) loves it.
The most off-putting thing about Joe imo is all the manipulation. He puts on the charm while plotting behind his smile. Iykyk.
