I d say not because there aren t many in Ann s generation as bigoted as her.

[Brillopad]

Is age an excuse for controlling ignorance.

[Underscore]

No.

Who cares she’s more interesting than anyone else in there

Correct, but that doesn't negate any serious discussion about her views. She can be both a great housemate and a terrible person, the two are always mutually exclusive no matter who it is

That's on season for you

[Marsh.]

It's a reason certainly, but it doesn't make it any less bigoted.

She's entitled to it, but let's not excuse it.

Sums up what I think tbh.

It's hard to train a persons way of thinking when they have grown up in a generation that finds certain things unacceptable.
Ann has tolerated it to some extent...her eye rolling says it all though. Maybe it's not an excuse...but as much as we expect Ann to accept it and understand it..shouldnt we give her the same understanding and accept that it's very much a generation thing?

I don't think anyone hasn't accepted they're her opinions and are formed via a different life experience, as are everyones. However, that doesn't give her the immunity from having her opinions and views questioned and examined by others. Particularly as, as a politician, her views are very much public.

It's not only her entitled to her views.

I would say, you don't know what you are talking about.

How many more bashing Ann threads are you going to start.

There's an obsession

[T*]

she's a terrible human being and age is no excuse, it's not hard.

[Jase.]

I don't get how she's a good housemate either. Outside of a few amusing moments all she's done is judge and roll her eyes

I mean yeah relative to every other season she’s been very boring

But this is cbb21 we’re talking about

Literally nothing happens

You really start to appreciate the finer things, she’d fall into insignificance in a house with any more than 1other good housemate

She's been the only one since India left to cause any sort of conflict this series

That's literally why she's a good housemate though. The eye rolling, the prudishness and the self-censorship some of the housemates have felt around her are all AWFUL traits that I find annoying in a person, but in a pretty drab series she's been one of the only causes of tension because of it.

People who are difficult to live with usually make the best housemates

[Tom4784]

All people are allowed to have their views, other people are allowed to critique those views or anyone's views.

Ann is entitled to her homophobic views, everyone else is entitled to comment on their views. Age or generation is not a shield from criticism.

[Yaki da]

She doesn't have "bigoted beliefs" nor does she act like a bigot. She simply has different opinions to the currently fashionable views on certain issues. It's those of you who cannot deal with the fact that a person disagrees with you who are bigots.

Well said, I've tried saying it over and over.

People don't get the irony of insisting that everyone hate someone because of their views and lifestyle.

Just like racists "simply have a different opinion".

Your statement has the depth of a puddle.

Another word like "Homophobe" that has no objective meaning and is used to suppress dissenting views on certain issues.

Whereas yours was full of profound insights.

It has a meaning. You know it does.
It hasn't been used to suppress any views.

The only suppressing that has happened has been you and certain other people trying to suppress people's right to comment on and criticise Ann's discrimination.

Mine doesn't simply ignore the argument everyone else is making and pretend it doesn't exist. Yours does.
