Love Island is partly responsible for Ayia Napa rape debacle!

SARAH VINE: The tawdry saga of a British rape accuser who partied
with 12 Israeli men in Ayia Napa reveals the ugly truth about the legacy of
Love Island


There’s no doubt in my mind that shows like Love Island, which finished on
Monday night, have their part to play in this lack of personal responsibility.


Its entire premise is to get semi-naked men and women to have sex with each
other for the entertainment of the viewing public. And when they do, the
morality of what’s going on is never called into question on the show.


Instead, the contestants are rewarded with prize money and lucrative
contracts, all predicated on their willingness to bare almost all in an ever-
decreasing spiral of self-abasement.


Depressingly, the live viewing figures for this week’s finale hit a record high of
3.6 million. That’s an awful lot of people swallowing the message that casual
hook-ups are a natural — even expected — part of a sun-kissed trip abroad.


I don’t deny I’ve watched Love Island with my daughter and found it diverting
enough. Some will say I’m being an old prude. But when the amoral code it
promotes lands a British teenager in a Cypriot courtroom after a liaison with a
group of men, surely no one can deny there’s something sick at the heart of
this hedonism.

Because, let’s face it, this sort of feral behaviour is becoming increasingly
common. Indeed, among certain groups of people in certain situations — on
holiday, under the influence of alcohol or drugs — it has become the norm.
As, too, has the practice of sharing exploits on social media.

No it's not?

as if LI is too blame for this :idc:

it's still your own choice what you do on holidays, very easy for a mediocre tabloid like dailyfail (who enjoy making articles related to LI) to shove this on a tv show, just because they need to protect that girl who happens to be british


here in my country there are worse shows than LI :fan: and still not everyone in our youth gets drunk and has sex on holidays, most who i knew on one dutch forum usually watch these sort of tv shows for light entertainment purpose only without thinking too much about it


pathetic ''attempt'' from dailyfail to bring down LI but this won't work

It's time for people to take responsibility for their own actions without looking for someone or something to blame.

yep and that goes for boys as well as girls, just being in that group of boys is enough to be tarred even if they had no involvement

TV imitating life, imitating TV imitating life.

As has been said, personal responsibility goes a long way.

Oh it is..bb was too. It's like trapping insects in a box to see if they'll mate :/

Disclaimer... I dont see any link between reality TV and young brits abroad either, 18-30 hols were a thing long before love island :/

Yikes, Love Island is trash but it can’t be blamed for things like this lmao, hysteria much

RileyH 31-07-2019 11:59 AM

Don't be so bloody stupid

Denver 31-07-2019 12:31 PM

Sarah Vine is partly responsible for people using the Daily Mail as toilet paper

Toy Soldier 31-07-2019 12:37 PM

Misleading title. You forgot to add "according to sensationalist tabloid hack".

Also I don't think the winners of this year's Love Island gave each other more than a peck on the lips and a cuddle :joker:. Really reaching.

I mean if they'd said Geordie Shore or Ex On The Beach even... But Love Island? :think: it's not exactly an orgy.
