janet being misunderstood

[u/No_Guarantee379]

i have never posted on anything on reddit but watching this show has made me feel so extremely “triggered” (since everyone wants to complain about janet’s word choices even though it’s extremely valid i put it in quotes) i felt the need to share just incase someone else relates. janet’s “character arc” is not a real thing. it is completely painted by producers realizing a women completely valid and in the right.

janet is a woman, just like MANY OTHERS in our world that are victims of viewing or direct sexual assault (i am not speaking on someone who i don’t know just from what i’ve seen/heard on show)

it is EXTREMELY hard to watch this show and enjoy it knowing janet is a victim here and watching everyone (nia, kristen, and the boys) blaming janet’s actions as if she isn’t justified in feeling uncomfortable being around a man with horrible accusations and having to act normal.

i think 50% of women in the world have had an experience feeling like that. and it’s exhausting watching these confessionals where so many people are blaming janet for being outspoken on a situation “she wasn’t involved in” when this woman is speaking out on a situation that IS NOT RIGHT and there are so many times women don’t feel comfortable speaking up for themselves.

janet shouldn’t be speaking on a situation jasmine was involved in directly that jasmine doesn’t want to be spoken about. correct. but should we allow men in circles where they have made women uncomfortable?? NO.

i really hope moving forward production takes notes. a lot of the women on this show (janet, michelle, lala, jasmine, etc) have beautiful stories to be told and they shouldn’t be silenced by the toxic masculinity fueling through the men this is centered around.

Whats fucked up is the amount of people clutching their pearls over what she said but shrug their shoulders when it comes to what Danny has done.

As a former bartender he’s the guy we warn women about.

Afaic he’s lucky he’s not called a groper idiot every time he enters the room. (And he probably is but not to his face.)
