You really have to love the tell-all clear the air interview that only emphasizes everything we saw on the show
Robbin posted these in the NFY Facebook group and then deleted them apparently. https://www.reddit.com/r/nathanfory...urce=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
is the twitter discourse just people saying he's mean and degrading? The real problem is the people on the internet who think that someone's participation in the show is an open invitation/consent to dig into everything they've every posted on the internet
FBoy Island is also a fun and self-aware reality show. This season there was a contestant named Mikey D who brought up the fact that his name is just Michael and he was encouraged to have a persona for the show.
For me it's one of those cases where I only see people disagreeing with the idea that he's manipulative. Never actually see any of the actual criticism that sparks the response I feel like some people often take some complete rando's unhinged nonsense and, instead of just making fun of it and leaving it be, get it in their heads that there actually is some big discourse about it.
Like all discourse 1 person said he's a manipulative jerk and 100 people say he isn't actually creating the discourse
i mean, that's what a lot of trending stuff on twitter is. you find a lot of stuff saying "it's crazy that this is even an argument!" and then when you find the original tweet that everyone is going crazy about it's almost always one dude with like 150 followers on a tweet with like three original engagements. people just find something in the discover tab, rant about it, and never even see that the original thing wasn't really that big of a deal to begin with
Yeah I mean the issue isn't with the take itself but A) that the person who made it hasn't seen the show lol and B) these people are aware of the cameras, getting paid, and signing a release. It's really not any deeper than that
Long story short, yes I know people who don’t like this show or Nathan For You because it feels “icky,” but I uh… don’t really care haha
People are forgetting that Nathan being manipulative is the point of the show. The premise is manipulating a positive outcome for a stranger, he's manipulating everything to such a blatant degree. We can talk about the ethics of that but yeah, this has been happening since the existence of reality TV and these people all agreed to it.
He's even discussing himself as a villain in the first episode, its a discourse that originated in the show and one I'm guessing he wants to be having.
I don't even know how to find "twitter discourse" if I wanted to, I haven't looked at twitter in years
