Evidence?

I've seen people wanting housemates they like to win.

Not someone because they're a woman. Which poster is this?

What kind of warped mind do you have Mock?
Isn't it actually more warped to force someone to change their opinion because it's against the majority? Is it seen as more socially acceptable to be a Sheep like what wins BB year after year and Kimberly this year?

You think people complained because they want Helen to change her opinion?

They complained because she was offensive.

Stop thinking of people as religious extremists.

Helen can be atheist or whatever she wants, she can dislike Christianity all she wants. But when that turns into verbal abuse there's a problem.

If this was about being anti-Christian (which it isn't, Helen said it in the heat of the moment) then people can put those views across without being so crass and vulgar. That was the issue.

Like I'm naming names, and they like they are going to say on the Forum that they want bleep to win because they're a woman? It sounds so ridiculous in my post and I have a woman as my favourite in this series lol.

And people are excusing Housemates like Kimberly for being boring but will attack Marlon for being boring, how does that work?

Mock you are coming across extremely paranoid and crazy.

As you said though she was in an argument when she said it, most people aren't very articulate when they're in a blasing row like that as we saw with Danielle as well yet Helen got more abuse because she's more common and is a prostitute which is really unfair.

And before you say evidence some things you can just tell by how a poster posts their dislike for Helen.

Yes, but when people complain it's about the TV show airing offensive content.

It's not about ringing in to take sides with Helen or Danielle.

Also, the topic of this convo was the ofcom complaints, not the forum posters.

Lol your really twisting it now, these members are all over the Big Brother boards, but they're not gonna say that they're voting for a Housemate to win because they're a woman, could you imagine how many people would be offended by the comment?

I'm not twisting it.

You say all these people on the forum are supporting people purely because they want a female winner but they won't admit it on the forum.

Are you hearing voices?

Well the posters are the only way I can tell who's got fans to some extent so it's how I know if the fans are being fair or not.

And I just got what you meant and you would be surprised at how many people supported the Ofcom complainers.

..I haven't watched any of the balm-gate stuff yet but I certainly think I would describe Pauline as a psychological bully..it's not just that she targets people and tries to turn others against them because that's quite often done..it's more that she tries to justify things to them by trying to persuade them that it's all their fault/that if they were 'better' people then these things wouldn't happen to them..a purposeful dumbing down of self-esteem in someone is something I feel is bullying...Helen..?..I've not seen anything that could be described as bullying yet..

I can sympathise with Jale, but i can't support her. I just don't find her entertaining. And no, i don't think it's bullying.

Yes it is definitely bullying. She is being targetted. But, Jale is a strong person and will come through it fine. I think Helen will hang herself (metaphorically) before the end of the series i.e I think she will lose the right to a free pass to the final.

Only after last night with the lipstick thing and Helen berating Jale in front of everybody.

Still don't think the bullying is as bad as it has been in other series though.

True. I still think of poor Freddie and what he had to endure.
