I think :matt: called it when he predicted a return to the early 2000s era of really nasty reality shows. We didn't go 100% The Running Man, but damn we got fukken close before the rise of Prestige TV took over for a bit, and this is the perfect chance to charge straight back to the precipice and leap off of it.
I expect the return of reality tv's prominence to have a very similar toxic and defensive fandom as prestige tv. This show where precariously exploited poor people are exploited isn't condoning it, actually it's raising awareness and can be seen as a leftist critique/satire of exploitation. It doesn't matter that it's hog feed that is feeding hogs, you're a scold if you don't like it, touch grass :morshupls:
