Love Is Blind Embraces the Manosphere
Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind’ reality show increasingly features men with conservative and toxic views, mirroring manosphere ideology.
Netflix: The reality TV show ‘Love Is Blind’ features couples who talk through pods before meeting face-to-face.
When the first season started in 2020, many people liked it because it seemed different from other dating shows. Now in its 10th season, some viewers say the men on the show are becoming more problematic. Several men have made rude comments about women’s bodies. Some also struggle with anger and jealousy.
One man, Chris Fusco, even says he is similar to Andrew Tate, who is known for having bad views about women. Another man, Alex Henderson, likes Donald Trump and works with digital money called cryptocurrency. These men often try to control their girlfriends and don’t like it when women are successful.
For example, in the most recent season, Matt gets angry and upset when his girlfriend gets a new job. Another man, John, tells his girlfriend she needs to spend more time exercising even though she is busy being a doctor. Many of the men also think women should quit their jobs and move to different states, even if it means giving up their careers. These behaviors show ideas from a group called the “manosphere” which has bad views about women.
