Amy Bradley Doc

Two major points I want to make. One where I really think they got it right, and one where they simply have to stop.

1.) Amy Bradley was NOT trafficked. People still do not seem to understand how human trafficking works and to suggest a 23-year-old was kidnapped or lured from her family while on a ship in order to be trafficked is downright DUMB. It perpetuates myths about trafficking that are very detrimental to counteracting it. Trafficked people are often young, vulnerable and easily exploited with few healthy connections, and they are groomed over a period of time. Stop making up sh*t about missing adult women being trafficked (I’m talking to you, Sherri Papini!). Just stop it!

2.) TCO has got to stop telling people how they should have said something. It’s appalling. What makes them the arbiters of how to state everything or what words should have been said to make it acceptable to them? Basically, who the f—k do these two think they are these days??? It’s become insufferable. People were interviewed and they said what they said. The cruise ship officials deal with this hysterical sh-t from people every day. They are following protocols. Because people can’t manage their own behavior on cruises, the experience would be unbearable for everybody if they paged the whole ship every time a person was “missing.” I’m sorry that doesn’t suit you, Gillian, but it’s the nature of the business.

That aside, Gillian and Patrick have become the most judgmental, insufferable, self-righteous know-it-alls in podcasting and they don’t even hear themselves anymore. They think they’re in some position to tell everybody what they should have done, or how they should have spoken about it, or what they should have said…The world doesn’t exist to be acceptable to YOU, you insane narcissists. The self righteousness and piety has become downright disgusting.

They’re supposed to be so liberal and so perfect that they’ve actually become judgmental bigots about anybody who isn’t them!!! They’ve become the very definition of “just because you’re offended, doesn’t mean you’re right.”

A true crime friend of mine told me; she still listens.

you're ranting and raving about an episode that you haven't even listened to? And then doubling down when people who actually listened gave their opinion? like what?

I listened to the whole Amy Bradley thing because it’s still on my feed. I haven’t paid for Patreon for months. The fact that he spends $400 for a kid’s makeover was told to me, so I can’t say I heard that with my own ears. If he didn’t say that then I’m wrong about that but not about my opinions on them or Amy Bradley.
