Love Island Twitter has become a cesspool as the show's gotten bigger each year. Even when producers try to cast more diverse types, you have Fiat 500 being racist or body-shaming for clout. Leanne was being compared to a monkey as soon as her promo pics were released and people have been body-shaming Shaughna's legs the entire series.

The thing with Love Island is that social media plays a big part in its success compared to other reality shows. From the nightly twitter commentary to contestant post-show fame being mainly concentrated on Instagram so they're exposed to all the negativity.

It's why the show was better in its early series before it blew up and everyone started watching and tweeting about it.

I think the rot has set in for the show anyway. Suicide controversies aside, having two series a year will oversaturate the brand and this current winter series hasn't been that good, it's also the first where ratings have fallen. It's become a victim of its success like BB did.

But why is LI attracting such a vicious Social Media base? BB fans could be bad on there, but never to the point of Housemates killing themselves.
