ArtThe minipolis-set of the flagship dating show of Netflix, the eighth season, Love is blindWas a fantastic to be sure. Most of the action came down in the pods, where two overlapping love triangles eventually spread, leaving four most interesting cast members indefinitely and thus mostly absent in the second half of the season. With a few exceptions (such as Dave and L Ure Rain split on failure to trust her gossip friends and family), romantic gateways and midwest homesings seemed relatively friction. But when the time came, only one of the couples engaged – Christmas enthusiasts Taylor and Daniel – “I do.” Only then did the Anticlimax, Sunday’s reunion, the truth behind “Minnesota Nice” finally came out.
It was a surprisingly event episode, in which the Furtive Post-Breakup was confirmed with a revelation from DMS to an update that whatever happened between Madison, Mason, Alex and Mag was a mess, which was probably about which multiple people. Lies. But beyond the harsh reading and hidden receipts (congratulations to Madison for hiding Whatever In that dress), the one who was stuck was the ideological division of which two women were demolished on the altar. Like everything in American life, Love is blind More and more politicized. So it is a bit meaningful that during the lead-up of the 2024 elections, the shot of the season in the purple state will not only reflect but also a biased division that often appears as a gender gap.
The subject came first in the postmortem of the engagement of Devin and Virginia. Although they seemed to be one of the most relevant couples of the season, his conversation about politics – his liberal, his Rup SERV Chit – was always stressed, while he dodge his efforts to draw his specific opinions. Riyunon confirmed that this is a crucial factor in his decision not to marry. “We were not in arrangements on some really important things,” he explained. “Davin told me a lot about his original values ​​- he didn’t want to talk on the camera.” And when she continued to respect her desire to hide her beliefs, her clarification of her own explanation paints a beautiful vivid negative-picture picture: “I support 100% LGBTQ community. I also believe that women should decide to choose whether they want an abortion. I also believe that different religions should be worth it. “Devin’s response was typically unclear.” For me, I can see some things in the past, “he said.
The disclosure for his breakup echoed a struggle that was more prominent throughout the season in Sara and Ben’s relationship. While religion was never a large part of his life, Sara gave to the church which offers a chance to the center of Ben’s world. But while researching her status and sermons, she finds the preaching of sexuality .Why who confirmed the “traditional” opinions – a topic that will hit the house for her, because her beloved sister is gay. Although Ben’s views on LGBTQ Rights, The Black Lives Matter Movement and other social issues “that community”, they looked at the best, he appeared to be indifferent. (“I did not vote in the last election,” he said it in the pods. “I just stayed away from him.”) By describing his choice after the abortion ceremony, Sara reflected: “Equality, religion, Vaccine? As such, I brought all these things because I think it’s all important conversations. What you mean, at least communicate. There was no Jej Ityy from his side. “
At the time of the re -meeting, Ben acknowledged that his lack – or his lack was a product of privilege, and in particular he never thought about his church status on sexual identity, because he “never had to know, because there was really no one in my life.” In response, Sara explained that she was not trying to give her a litmus test. “It’s not necessary that I was looking for a correct or wrong answer.” “I just wanted to have an open discussion. The problem is, it has never progressed out of the pods. “As a result of that impairment, she did not reach the altar that she knew who Ben was really.
As the residents of the state, in 2024, Kamla Harris favored Donald Trump Only 4% of the vote, Love is blind Season 8 Cast reflects a real split in Minnesota. It also does mirror Categorical Nationwide An area of ​​anchorThe Trump campaign worked to successfully expand by appealing to men under 40 – most women voted in Democratic and most men Republicans. All of the above, of course, have been killed in the media in the last four months. But the object of these disagreements is rarely placed in human view, especially for our millions of people who exist in the red or blue field more uniformly, the way this season was.
Pundits on both sides of the wing, surprisingly, have captured good and Virginia’s choices as cases of their respective world view. One Before New York Position Thing Fox News labeled that good “wuke” Laura English and Tommy Lahren’s pro -Ben Posts (Conservative White Woman Lahren: “Is there anything more annoying than a liberal white woman?”) Summarized the remedy of the Murdoch Empire. As you expect, feminist-minded blogs had a different reading. “Our complex (and broken) is one thing to underdooked or abandoned by the noise of a two-party system,” According to the site Batches. “But to actively avoid information on the biggest social issues (aka human rights), so that you are everything cool, as if it is a clean reminder of your dentist, it is a literal definition of privilege.” “This whole season is proof that women are constantly working,” A scary mom wrote blogger.
I will not pretend my sympathy, do not lie with the latter crowd, or the spread of right -handed Misogini directed in Sara and Virginia is appropriate for any response. But I also feel that there is something amazing about the political disconnects of couples who move beyond the object of a biased or partner’s belief. On the one hand, we will see two women who are aware of the trendy sister to Muslim relatives in the mention of Virginia, will adversely affect the people who care for them. On the other hand, there are two men who refuse to see political views as anything more than intangible ideas, who should be discussed in public or not on how they affect the real people – who, in other words, to accept the matter of politics. The thing is, if you think, for example, that homosexual marriage is wrong and accordingly votes (or abstaining from voting), you can become as gentle as you want to queer couples; You are still hurting them. U.S. Trump supporters are being forced to face the opposite effects of their voting policies, failure to create a connection between Ben and Devin’s politics and reality is a form of rejection that seems both deceitful and normal.
