Just bc you don’t know them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Their ability to make millions off just their looks and drama.
Zero talent.

Scott is the only one I liked watching. He has a unique combination of appearing above it all while giving a damaged vibe that appeals to a woman's mothering instincts.

Not sure I would use the word wholesome and attribute it to the Kardashians. Kim is about to divorce her 3rd husband. None of the others have married. 3 out of the 4 that have kids(Kourtney, rob and kylie) are not together with their baby daddy/momma. Khloe is getting back together with the baby daddy that cheated on her twice, once when she was pregnant.
They are able to handle being a single parent because they have the financial resources. That is not the case for many singe mom's. Is this really the role models you want?
I think they reflect middle America better than most of DCUM understands, including prioritizing having a family/familial relationships.
This.
They are fiercely close and supportive of each other. Family first.
A lot of episodes focus on family meals and family vacation…plus family drama.
Scott is a legit member of the family forever regardless of the fact he was never able to convince dum-dum boring Kourtney to marry him.
Khloe and Scott used to be hilarious.

Well, they made millions (Kylie a billion) without being able to sing, dance or act. The only one with actual talent was Bruce (Katelyn). I think people cannot look away. Even Chris Rock mocked them for just dating black guys.

What I don’t understand is all of the hate for these very successful women. I don’t see what they’ve done to deserve it.
People have mentioned that they are bad influences; they never asked to be anyone’s role model.
People have mentioned that they’ve altered their appearances with plastic surgery; so what!
People always mention that Kim got famous because of a sex tape; so what! She has taken that sex tape moment and elevated her entire family. #Bossmoves!
Worry about your own dang family and let others live their lives!
Looks like a Kartrashian found this thread!

so it’s ok to use a sex tape to gain fame, have so much plastic surgery you’re barely recognizable, then apply tons of filters to your photos/ videos and then hawk beauty products to young impressionable girls under the guise of girl power because they make money by exploiting themselves as sex objects?

I’ve managed never to watch the Kardashian show until covid, when my DD and I binged watched it together. I now see the charm of the show. The horseplay, the teasing, the sister spats, the adventures & hijinx, the beaten down Bruce, the controlling mom. So much drama. Lots of fun to watch.

Absolutely no idea either, OP. Vapid, artificial, gross.

I'll admit back in the day -- way back -- I followed them. It was cute little light trash entertainment. But I lost interest as they started hawking waist cinchers and tummy tea and having babies with any and everyone and especially when Kylie so dramatically changed her face and body before she was even 18. I think her parents failed her.

To see how much surgery one can get before reaching muppet status? To see if they set the Guinness world record for most plastic surgeries in one family? To see what happens when their butts or lips finally deflate permanently?
I know it’s mean, but I resent women who use tons of surgery, fillers, extensions and filters to promote a ridiculous standard of “beauty”. The amount of young adults going under the knife for terrible cosmetic procedures has skyrocketed.

Except none of them have currently maintained marriages
Just like MILLIONS of people around the world
