Agreed. The intention behind people doing this is a bit shady but you can't ignore language like that. Vicious hate fueled little boy.

Nobody has to make him seem like anything, he does that well enough all by himself.

It shouldn't be challenged because it's irrelevant to anything he has yet done in the house

If you searched the background of all these people I'm sure there's something you would deem 'inappropriate' or 'offensive'. I don't see why people are interested tbh.

He's literally not even had chance to do/say anything yet for that though, it stems from the fact people are mad he got voted in over the others because he's hot

How is someone being blatantly homophobic and spouting hate speak irrelevant? What if he used racially motivated language, would we be ignoring that also?

It's actually quite pertinent before we go a whole series applauding him for being a nice guy when he's covering up such stupidity (at best) or bigotry (at worst).

andybigbro 06-06-2017 11:55 AM

He is such an idiot. He needs to grow the **** up.

He's still so young and needs brought down a peg or two.

SteveG2688 06-06-2017 11:55 AM

As a gay man i do find this extremely offensive. I didn't like him anyway and i certainly dont like him now! Should be booted out and replaced with one of the others! I recon one of the other 3 that didn't make it in would do his job better as he wont listen to the public anyway, hes an arrogant little s***.

If he'd said this stuff in the house I would agree with you, but this is one word he tweeted to somebody that may just be a lack of awareness

Well if we were a few weeks into the series maybe I could get behind this thought process, but there's literally no proof of this being a legit thing and not just stupidity

Yeah sorry I don't subscribe to this "What you do outside is irrelevant" way of thinking if we're talking about recent things, you don't become a whole different person the moment you walk through those doors. If he's tweeting hateful crap like that, I think that's probably pretty representative of what he's like as a person.

I wouldn't go hunting down housemates' social media but if I become aware of things like this, I'll form an opinion on it and I make no apologies for that.

Likewise, I take positive outside-world things into consideration too. It all contributes to forming an opinion on them as people (which I think is important since people could very well modify their behavior in the house to come across a certain way).

And no, I don't dislike him because he was voted in, that wasn't his doing. That's just a weak way of absolving him of any responsibility and putting all the blame for any negative feedback on everyone else instead of him.

I see your point and I understand why it's taken into consideration even though for me personally it doesn't sway my opinion either way. Mostly because we don't really know the context of these tweets people send, or the relationship between the people within the conversations. Sure it's not okay to use the word '******' and some people will be offended by it or assume he's homophobic, but until I actually see this in his real life actions, I'm not going to see him as a solidified homophobe because sometimes people use words without realizing how it effects others.

No this isn't a defence post saying he's not homophobic or whatever, I'm just unbothered by some random tweet from a year ago

Amy Jade 06-06-2017 12:30 PM

Horrible. I hate that word so much.

He came across badly and he exhiled Chanelle so he can piss off!
