[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So ... is anybody else wondering if this is problematic? Exploitive?

Everyone finds the show heartwarming. And it is. But that is how people felt in the beginning of The Biggest Loser, too. And my goodness, that sure has aged poorly.

Adan being publicly pressured by Dani to "do the deed" comes to mind as problematic. Not ok at all. [/quote]

It's exploitive by certain families like Tanner, Abbey, and Connor. They are all doing it for exposure and hoping to get a social media following. Did you hear the latest drama between Kaelynn (a date) and Tanner's MOM?

But for the most part no, they are teaching the public about people on the spectrum and their quest to get a partner. It's filmed documentary style so it's meant to educate, which it does.[/quote]

What happened between Kaelynn and Tanner's mom?[/quote]

Kaelynn, on a podcast said that shows like LOTS allow the world to see “weirdos” like Tanner in a different light. She wasn’t calling him a weirdo but saying that that is how the world sees autistic people without shows like this. Nikki/Tanners Mom then attacks Kaelynn taking it far too literally and seriously, assuming she was actually just calling Tanner a weirdo. Kaelynn has got very upset that her words have been misconstrued and she’s trying to get in touch with Nikki to explain, but Nikki is refusing to respond to her messages AND disregarding that Kaelynn is also on the spectrum.

Tanner's mom should know better. That's kind of insane.[/quote]
