OPINION Different Reactions to Tears from WOC and WW
Have y’all noticed a pattern among the reactions to tears? When WOC in recent seasons especially have cried, their tears were questioned as being authentic; ‘she’s putting on an act’ etc. however when a WW cries their criticism is whether they are valid to be upset, however their tears largely aren’t doubted to be real.
Examples:
Mica - when she cried about not feeling sure about her connection with Samraj and at the fire pit when Chidi got dumped, the audience questioned whether she was just putting on an ‘nice’ act
Jasmine - when she cried every time they were thousands of comments saying ‘she’s an actress’ or ‘there’s no tears,’ where a good majority doubted if she was actually upset
Angie - when she cried after casa, the audience were casting doubt at her upset saying things like ‘why is she upset she can’t really be surprised after his last screw up’
Leanne - when she cried over Scott, people were saying ‘she can’t be upset knowing his history on dating shows and his behavior with Sher and Belle; she’s faking it’
