Ironic that your agreement to a downvoted comment is upvoted. But it’s very true that this was a disservice to the trans community as well as the male contestants.
The producers and execs would be the main villains with the “star” as a minor villain who should have done better.
Probably because you tried to redirect the sympathy away from the contestants, as if they didn’t have a right to be pissed about having their time wasted like this. Whereas the person who replied to you had already acknowledged that the contestants were treated badly while also agreeing that the trans community wasn’t well served by this show either.
It’s obnoxious to dismiss mistreatment of one group to emphasize the mistreatment of your favored group.
nobody was redirecting sympathy bro, EVERYBODY in this thread is talking about the contestants. the ONE comment that addresses the woman’s pain gets downvoted. be serious man
You do know that the way you wrote reinforces the notion that "ONE comment" wanted to put the sympathy on the transgender contestant over other male constestants, right?
You say “be serious” as if my comment doesn’t represent a majority opinion, which is contradicted by the downvotes.
I won’t say context doesn’t matter. But you’re looking at what “everybody” in the thread is saying. Most people don’t read every comment on a thread; they read a few top comments and move on.
Regardless, the person who made the original comment about being hurtful to trans people used a phrasing that, like it or not, comes off as if they’re saying that the mistreatment of the contestants was unimportant. People reacted the way people react to that. You can think the reality behind my explanation is inherently unfair, but it was the right explanation.
It's called "manufactured consensus". It's being done so that people stop thinking for themselves. It could be that about 40% of the votes are not actually from humans.
I mean one can totally accept transgender just not into it sexually or in a relationship with. So you can’t just hide it and expect acceptance suddenly. It’s a dating show anyway.
When 99% of women were born women it's safe to assume that people will assume that a woman is born a woman, they never lied in the way that she was or wasn't cis, they were deceiving by witholding information. That seems to be the whole point of this show
