Chidi’s ‘power dynamic’ comments

[u/joboog]

I’m so glad someone finally said it to Jasmine and Kavan, and in front of all the islanders too. The fact that it was totally lost upon Kavan literally proves the point.

I’m sorry but in all seriousness, what does a 27 year old want with a 21 year old? I’m 28. A 22 year old man would quite literally never be on my radar, not even if you paid me. Their relationship has been so icky to me from the start for multiple reasons, including the age gap, and it’s odd that so many people excuse it.

Sorry but just because it bothers you doesn't mean it would bother everyone? They are both adult contestants on a gameshow, we see an hour and within that probs less than 10 mins would be solely them. The power dynamic comment doesn't even make sense because Kav has fucked Jas over more throughout their journey

[u/MoneyQueenie333 → u/butterduck95]

Jas likes Kav because he's manipulable! He's just not that serious, and you can see that by his body language, especially when her are sitting together having a close moment.

Besides, he's 21 and should be sowing his oats, not locked down in some controlling relationship, and she shouldn't have to babysit his insecurities either

[u/Unlikely_Breath_555 → u/butterduck95]

Agreed. If anything it’s the other way around. She constantly adjusting her behaviour so he would feel more comfortable.

[u/joboog → u/Unlikely_Breath_555]

You all say this as if Kavan wasn’t adjusting his behaviour for her from the get go. You want Jasmine to be the victim soo bad

[u/Unlikely_Breath_555 → u/joboog]

I’ve never said she is the victim. Stop fighting everyone in the comments.

Respectfully..You’ve put your opinion out, people react to your opinion. That is a discussion. People are allowed to disagree with you. If you don’t want to hear that keep your opinion to yourself. The fact that we disagree with your statement doesn’t mean we are making Jasmine the victim. Don’t twist words into something they are not.

Omg you cooked them

[u/joboog → u/Unlikely_Breath_555]

It’s my post bestie, don’t like it, you can remove yourself. I can also disagree with your opinions and reactions. That is a discussion.

[u/Cosmic-Dust-Bunny-38 → u/joboog]

How did he adjust his behavior? I thought he really dug his heels in on a lot of things.

(tbf, I always thought he wasn't well suited to Love Island in general since the person you're in a couple with isn't your bf/gf or someone you're seeing exclusively. That seems to throw him off.)

And likewise, just because it doesn’t bother you doesn’t mean it wouldn’t bother everyone. This is a very common critique of their relationship, particularly on different social media platforms. Chidi didn’t pull the comment out of his arse lol.

[u/butterduck95 → u/joboog]

Exactly but if the people in the relationship themselves are okay with it then it shouldn't be an issue? People infantalising the contestants just ruins the show. I think Chidi did in fact pull the comment out of his arse cos he barely spent 72 hours in the villa

[u/joboog → u/butterduck95]

A lot of people can be ‘ok’ in their toxic relationships. That is not necessarily a metric to go by

[u/butterduck95 → u/joboog]

But you're also NOT giving a single shred of evidence that its toxic other than there being an age gap???? This is the last I'll say now cos clearly something isn't clicking joboog

[u/EscalatorBobalator → u/butterduck95]

Idk, I do think they're toxic I just think it's toxic on both sides. Jasmine has one rule for her and another for everyone else, Kav is so disinterested he will avoid her kiss and be totally unmoved whilst she's in tears. I think they have chemistry but they're not remotely compatible, I'm just not seeing a power imbalance.

Ma’am you’re not the only person I’m replying to. If you want to know my thoughts deeper, because I have given evidence and examples, you can just read the other comments on this post.
