Panfilo posted:They don't even have to be that unsuitable. Through the magic of editing and copious amounts of complementary alcohol you can get nearly anyone to come off as a whiny twat on television. Or, in the reverse: one of the contestants on Season 6 of Drag Race came across as a completely unstable nut...until the season ended and it was revealed that production did not allow her to have access to medical weed during the several weeks of filming. When she made a guest appearance on a future season, she poked some fun at it: "Well, THIS time I'm medicated!"

What got me is that the show will provide the contestants with alcohol (I believe a limited amount nowadays), but wasn't letting someone have access to medical weed. Allow both or neither.  (I believe the situation has since changed, as contestants in recent seasons have openly admitted to being baked as hell on edibles all season.)Then again, there's the whole "state vs federal" thing, so who knows how tied production's hands were.  Silly Newbie posted:I doubt that even cracks the top 50 of "lovely things done to American reality show contestants". Legally, morally, or ethically. Oh YEAH. Y'all need to look up some of the America's Next Top Model poo poo. Tyra Banks/production were loving MONSTERS to those girls (beyond the expected "Lol you're too fat" modeling poo poo). Not sure if this is a definitive summary, but here's two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd7YOKrr1KA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX8uGlRrC3Y OwlFancier posted:Reality television is pure, distilled human cruelty. I don't honestly know how anybody watches it. I agree. I just  RPDR because I love queer art and anything giving a platform to the LGBT+ community, but...the show clearly still has no qualms with milking the contestants' previous traumas or current anxieties for footage, and that just don't sit right with me.Dragula isn't perfect, but it's far less cruel to its contestants than American (the international spinoffs are a bit better in this regard) Drag Race is. Y'all should check it out if you're into horror and/or queer stuff! Read After Burning has a new favorite as of 03:52 on Jun 23, 2022 |

Reality TV i have learned about in the past few months: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHi_UusXdWM LOST RESORT: people sent to an island with a few "therapists" to heal from their personal traumas where the chief therapist is also a Jan 6 truther, tons of cultural appropriation of indigenous cultures, a Christian minister who learns that having a child may kill her should "maybe just have a bit more faith", a "sex healer" who spends most of her time trying to bone the himbo healer, everyone is only given fruits and water resulting in one of them accidentally ingesting antifreeze she thought were lollipops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J07arw7QBhM I WANNA MARRY HARRY: young women compete to marry Prince Harry who is an impersonator, the women are all american and were kept in a media bubble so they couldn't tell it wasn't him, constant "subtle" clues like him having a helicopter with security profile, whispers in the corridor that "the queen is mad about him being on this show" to gaslight the contestants into thinking they were really marrying royalty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaryoWAewIw BLACK.WHITE.: Emmy award-winning show where two families change "race" and live each others' lives where the award is for "non-prosthetic makeup" and oh boy, the white family has some interesting things to say about being "black", and also the makeup looks like just overexposed tanning bed symptoms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E23H-nnNkM KID NATION: children are put at a ranch for a fun time where they learn to fend for themselves everyone is traumatized and the producers desperately want a Lord of the Flies situation to occur and pushes it constantly, which the kids do not comply with. No lessons are learnt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKFgn6tNU6w OPPOSITE WORLDS: people are put into two teams of "future" and "past" houses and compete against each other every week in a bout of brawn vs brain somehow future wins all the time because they get better food and comfort??? a mystery

There was also Room Raiders where they would "kidnap" three people (with cameras already in the house but they're toooooootally shocked they're being kidnapped) and let a prospective date snoop in their rooms, then at the end has to decide which of the three was most dateable before meeting them.

Veotax posted:Unless they're writing about trans people, then they'll gleefully post an article about how trans women are rapists with the only source being an anti-trans hate group and include quotes from a cis lesbian rapist who has called for literal genocide against trans people and include no quotes from actual trans women for balance in the article. Uh, while I don't disagree with what you said - it's all very true and the BBC is utter scum... The original quote wasn't in their favour, either.

Am I mistaken, or does it appear that the skull actually healed around the spike? Was this person somehow still living after being impaled? Not unheard of, but just makes it even crazier. I am sure nearly 2000 years of decay has fused the spike to the skull but it would be incredible.

OwlFancier posted:Reality television is pure, distilled human cruelty. I don't honestly know how anybody watches it. Taking cruelty to a whole other plane I was completely unaware of. quote:Producer Stephanie Foo speaks to Nasubi, a Japanese comedian who, in the 90s, just wanted a little bit of fame. So he was thrilled when he won an opportunity to have his own segment on a Japanese reality TV show. Until he found out the premise: he had to sit in an empty apartment with no food, clothes or contact with the outside world, enter sweepstakes from magazines… and hope that he won enough sustenance to survive.

 This poor girl what a difficult situat- hold on I'm getting word that this article is supposed to be sympathetic to Diego. I also love the passages describing Diego's love interests. One girl: "her pale celestial skin was dotted with constellations of freckles". Another: "he invited a girl from another town with cupid-bow lips to prom. 'We had fun afterwards,' Diego said."

And even if everyone involved is a minor it's still sharing a private, intimate photo without consent, and that's the reason he's being shunned. Instead of complaining about it maybe he should internalize the lesson and care about consent more in the future and he won't lose his next social group. Being drunk isn't an excuse.

Nucleic Acids posted:Jerome Powell is advocating the same thing, more or less. They want to engineer a recession because workers have it too good. Did I miss something the Fed put out about this? Closest thing I can find is some press conference where he said that labor demand was too high relative to supply and that wages needed to continue to rise.
