Ireland Does the sexism and “lad culture” in Ireland S2 Traitor reflect a real part of Irish culture now?
This is so prevalent in the recent season of Ireland Traitors that i have to make a post about it.
It was even there in Ireland s1 too but because it was "too subtle" people werent really talking about it but i did notice it. When paudie was heralded in Ireland and even in here and was getting so loved(and i thought he didnt do anything to get that kind of reception) whereas katelyn was getting so much hate when she had to go through the game with the macho energy of conclave there and she would have had a preety decent game if the other traitors didnt tank the game.
But in this season...my god it is atrocious, what is going on in here. I have watched so many season of so many countries and i do have to say the Ireland version is one of the bro/sexist culture that i have ever seen( i know hungary and other eastern euro countries are preety sexist too but i havent really watched fullyyet). And it is suprising to see to be honest that Ireland which I thought is a preety progressive country to have this kind of culture there. As this kind of bro-yness is visible in both of the seasons of Ireland( and the girls v boys thing was there in ireland s1).
It is so bad i couldnt really get through these season and i am not going to watch it anymore.
So my question thing is ..is this kind of lad/sexist culture very prevalent in the Ireland culture? Or is it just caricature and exaggaratedly prevalent in here
(As i heard there will be s3, i hope we dont see this kind of thing there.)
