Did she make it up about one of the other Housemates? I didn't watch this series so I'm curious?

It's all tit for tat really (pardon the pun), if you're offended by someone (housemate, member, viewer etc.) your initial response is to offend them back, think that's what most of the thread is getting at

I'd forgotten about the Jack stuff actually, I've just read through a load of old threads and it continued in that vein. I pointed out in a couple of them that he was constantly in a position where he couldn't win support on this forum - on launch night he was derided as someone who was gonna play up the 'bubbly' persona and not really do much and still win. And then, when he was the complete opposite (and hysterical with it, btw) he was still hated. I maintain a lot of that was due to his appearance.

There's absolutely double standards and inconsistency on this forum, the same people who were criticising Lateysha's hate were calling Jason a 'thug' and a 'beast' and those who criticised that were calling Lateysha a 'whale'. I just find it all so pathetic, and furthermore it is just childish, why can't we just discuss housemate's characters...that is the point of the show?

I still use cat ladies on other forums/social media tbh, I respect that it's banned on here so I won't use it on here again but it won't stop me from using it elsewhere or IRL

I don't see the harm in it but if it is offending people on here then I do get why it's better to ban the use of the word.

Jack was a good Housemate I'll agree with you on that Jack.

I noticed he was getting better responses on here when people realised that Chloe had took the role that people was worried that Jack was gonna take, but he was never gonna be a Forum favourite because he was overweight, and the general public are never nice about the Jack's of the show anyway so he was lucky to bag 4th place.

I can swear to you I thought it meant the women on facebook with animals as their dp who attack women for their looks and praise the men.

That would still be an insult though wouldn't it? As it's intended to "drag" these women in a negative way for them being nasty or whatever.

Beso · 02-07-2017, 07:28 AM

The trick is to get on everyones nerves enough that they then put you on ignore..do this to everyone and its like you have the forum to yourself.

This whole forum is a god damn hypocritical mess tbh, we get told repeatedly that we need to be tougher but the people saying that only want us to get tough on people they don't happen to like, if THEY just so happen to get infracted for the same thing then we're being biased or we're ignoring something or some other bull**** reason. People only want us to take a hard stance when it benefits them.

Chero · 02-07-2017, 08:02 AM

I thought cat ladies meant women who acted catty, which is like a character trait, right? Though honestly, I never really noticed it used. I guess that I decide if a thread is likely to be something I'm interested in by the headline, so I must have accidentally missed the ones where everyone was trolling.

But it did remind me of several years ago, when I had live feeds for the US show, and they had these chat rooms. And there were some chat rooms that would ban you if you didn't like this woman Janelle. For some reason, I just never cared for her, but I mean, I had to be careful if and where I said it!

That said, I try not to take Big Brother forums/chats, etc, too seriously. I mean, c'mon, it's a game show!

Also

@ Vicky for all the explanations

But because its directed at a male its fine

A lot who are complaining about appearance insults this year actually posted in that thread..and joined in with the taunting about 'fat and virgin'

Looking back on it now I can't believe we didn't ban people for their attitudes in there actually. I often get shocked at just how horrible members can be when I look at old threads.

Edit. Raph in that thread

Spoiler:

Wow !! bloody hypocrites !!

I have barely been on facebook this season but I am guessing from the need to insult the people who are on there, most of them favour 'the clique' over the 'outsiders'? And this is the need for the insults?

So we just have 7 pages over people whining at being called cat ladies while we have trolls getting away with murder all this series. Good to know.

y.winter · 02-07-2017, 08:37 AM

The baiting against cats should stop.

This thread isn't just about people slyly being attacked using "cat ladies" its also about the double standards on here and the fact some people get away with what others get a ban for, and its time it was all brought into the open and thrashed out ,then stopped, there should be no rule for one and one for another, ALL members should be treat equally

Let the cats live!!
