Over thanksgiving break I came across an article that
outlines these tweets from a guy named Elan Gale about his Thanksgiving plane
ride. He goes on a back and forth
fight with this woman named “Diane” and he documents the whole thing via
twitter. I read it and I thought
it was funny. Diane was being rude
and obnoxious about the flight being delayed and not being able to spend
Thanksgiving with her family. He
spends his entire flight being snippy with her and being kind of rude. After that I found out the whole thing
was fake and I came across this article.
He is a reality tv producer who made it up for
entertainment. This article
pointed out something I was not thinking about while I was laughing, “what’s
reality TV but endless humiliation of women so distorted by editing as to be
basically fictitious versions of themselves.” I think this has defiantly impacted how I view reality TV.
I definitely agree with you! These producers edit things so much to the point where all the human aspects of people are not shown and instead these people are fake terrible versions of themselves.
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely right! Reality tv is all about the humiliation of women. I never even realized that.
