The men this season are pure trash. Like, more than other seasons. In other seasons we had some jokers and some genuine bromances. There were assholes but genuinely it didn’t feel like the girls were constantly being treated disrespectfully.
This lot are a bunch of snakes, each and every one. Dami couldn’t take a light hearted dig from Ekin Su and threw a little tantrum. Neither could Luca. he’s happy to join a pile on with Tasha.
Luca is just.. pure trash. A walking red flag, resident manipulator, gaslighted and bully. Followed closely at the heel by Jaques (no wonder they get on).
Davide is a walking ego,it’s cool for him to yell at Ekin Su but she’s too dramatic if she yells back. And he treated danica pretty horribly by leading her on.
then we have Jay who is blatantly playing games and trying to be strategic with who he pairs up with, presumably he’s forgotten the public get the final vote
Andrew is the best of a bad bunch, but was quick to talk about “karma” and gloat when Jay ditched Ekin Su.
the only one we have left is Charlie; who hopefully is at least semi decent.
not all men are like this. Lots of men are able to be respectful and compassionate and empathetic and friendly towards women. It’s fucking disgraceful Love Island producers are throwing this rabble in and don’t apparently, seem to have any issue with the plethora of red flags being normalised on the show.
it doesn’t help that the girls just don’t seem to be gelling at all. What happened with Ekin Su being ganged up on, was unpleasant viewing and wholly uncalled for. Paige, Indiyah, Tasha AND Gemma all seem to be willing to stick the knife in to their fellow females without much provocation. Ekin Su has actually treated them all pretty well, but they treat her like an outsider. Danica was left to be humiliated. Antigoni seems decent but again, she’s been in the villa for 24 hours.
the constant disrespect from the male islanders towards the females, has never been so obvious or blatant. It’s making it uncomfortable viewing for me and to be honest, for the first time in what, 8 years? I’m tempted to complain and stop watching.
im here to watch people have messy love lives and find a partner and maybe make a bit of an idiot of themselves. I’m here for lighthearted drama. I’m not here to routinely see women be disrespected and belittled by a group of man children.
