Love Island ♥️🌴21 - what’s Michael gonna do?!

[Wrongdissection]

New thread!

I can't believe anyone said to you 'you are racist because you don't like Yewande'!

That's disingenuous, as is your list of banned topics...

"The list of things we can no longer talk about on this thread is endless... and we aren't allowed to say we dislike Maura as people think it's slut shaming.
No, fine to dislike Maura - people don't like her being called dog rough, easy etc

We weren't allowed to say we didn't like Yewande without being called racist.
No, not the case at all - people took a lot of time to explain unconcious bias at the time, look it up - you can agree or not (and maybe people weren't talking about you!?) but don't misrepresent the argument. Also people had comments deleted for outright racism.

Can't talk about anything related to the travelling culture even though this is a huge part of Tommy's life.
No, some people didn't manage discussion about travellers respectfully at all. Best not to shoe horn it in on a lighthearted thread.

Can't say Curtis might be gay...."- well, I said why I don't think it's respectful just before.

So I think I read your comment properly - just think you're misrepresenting people's concerns about some of the comments on these threads!

@oilyskinproblems

"You’re supposed to go on love Island for love and he’s had so many chances now but doesn’t seem to have any real interest in anyone. He almost seems to be avoiding getting too close to anyone."

So he has to be gay? Not just happen not to fancy these people?

Stop speculating on something personal, that you know nothing about!

First look makes tonight look dull viewing I'm not invested enough with Belle and Anton to be that bothered. I liked her but disliked the massive TOWIE rant! I think Curtis will pick Maura, they haven't shown him and Francesca enough for me to think he will pick her. Still don't like Curtis and Maura together but I think I'm in the minority haha

Ah Amy looked so good ok after sun last night! The shorter hair suits her, contemplating it myself now

I'm not saying that there haven't been horrible comments. I have seen some shockers on these threads. But every time one of those topics gets brought up an argument starts and people are instantly offended even if the comment is not meant to be offensive.

"people are instantly offended even if the comment is not meant to be offensive."

I've not seen much 'instant offence', at all.

But if something is offensive, then 'it is what it is' (!)

• even if it isn't meant to be offensive, it can still be harmful and needs challenging.

(When the racist comments got deleted, that was from a few posters doubling down when they were told about their comments).

@butmaybe maybe it's because you are the one offended by everything? Just a thought

I think the way they have shown them looks like Curtis is way more onto Maura, he doesn't look like he fancies Francesca at all. He is more suggestive with Maura although that could be editing. He has picked her for challenges then there was a very short clip of them dancing very closely.

Thought Belle came across dreadfully last night.

@cherylberyls

Erm, maybe you could try thinking a bit harder!

Nope, not 'offended by everything' - just amazed at what some people seem to think it's ok to say.

But, thanks for the weak attempt to dismiss any discussion...

I'm still not convinced Curtis fancies either of them 😂 he always looks so awkward and uncomfortable

The only reason I'm still watching is the sunk cost fallacy - I've invested so much time already that I can't give up now!

But it's getting so staged and none of the romances seem real.

@ItIsWhatItIsInnit your not allowed to talk about how staged or fake or shit this years love island is either ... add it to Geri's list😂😂

Laylabella - I thought he looked fairly comfortable snogging her & dancing with her in the challenges, also dancing at the 'club. I don't think he wants a long term thing with her though so maybe that's why he's holding back.

@cherylberyls

can you see a difference between some people getting fed up with people moaning about the production of a TV show and 'Geri's list' (i.e. real concerns that impact people)?

If you can, I'm not sure what you'd find so funny?

@butmaybe stop trying to start an argument with everyone... it's boring

@cherylberyls

Not trying to start an argument, just challenging something that you've said - you're better at insulting than engaging though. I find your attitude more than boring - and I'll continue to exercise my right of reply - cheers!

Butmaybe - is not going to stop speculating but I am going to stop responding to you as I think you’re spoiling for a fight! Have tried to be polite but it’s best left there.

@Oilyskinproblems - genuinely not wanting a fight - I would love to just read the threads and not see any disrespect.

It's easy to dismiss it as me being argumentative though, I guess.

Still think it's wrong to speculate about something so personal (especially given all the hate and forced outing etc gay people have faced.)

Happy to challenge anyone respectfully who think it's ok!

I thought Amy looked really fragile on aftersun. Curtis's brother went out of his way to give her a compliment even though Lucie was sitting right next to him. Normally they are diplomatic and share the compliments among all the girls present.

Tbh I find Amy uncomfortable viewing. I'm glad she's out of the limelight.

Do you think Curtis's nervous laugh when Mayra is talking to him is just nerves or because he's going to choose Francesca. If he chooses Francesca, do you think it's too late for Maura and Chris / Maura and Otis?

The sun are reporting that a new girl goes in tonight so it must be Joanna who has left.

New girl is coming in who looks like a lot of the boys 'type on paper'.

Ooh I think she’ll give Maura a run for her money.

She looks like Maura 2.0

but maybe I appreciate your voice of sanity reason
