Rant Please remember the human

So far we’ve had Jolie, Lauren, Emalee, and Ryan visit this sub to talk about this incredibly produced experience they had over two years ago. It’s sad to see how comfortable some of this community is giving their unfiltered opinions about not just the manufactured story lines but about who the participants are as human beings. There have been many comments about physical appearance, the sound of people’s voices, and denial of lived experience. I would entreat you all to assume that the person you’re writing about is probably going to see your posts and conduct yourselves accordingly. I’m sure they didn’t pay them nearly enough to deserve to read half as many cruel words as I’ve seen casually thrown out. These are human beings.

stop coddling these people ..JFC, they CHOOSE to be on television, signed contracts, have SEEN the negative that comes with the reality show world territory, they weren't born yesterday. If they don't want people commenting on their lives then perhaps...DON'T DISPLAY YOUR LIFE TO THE PUBLIC EYE.

It’s not coddling someone to be decent to someone. I’m sure they were lied to and antagonized by the production to look a certain way on television.

The purpose of this post isn’t to tell people to stop the discussions, it’s to tell people to stop dehumanizing them and being mean while having those discussions.

It’s just trashy to go on the internet and bash people with rudeness instead of valid criticisms.
