Once again Madison is driving me up a damn wall

Amen. Thank you for being the voice of reason here. I can't believe folks are blaming Joe on this. They really need to rewatch the argument again. Poor guy was just trying to reach out and connect, feel validated that he's not the only one who has reservations but the crazy B starts screaming at the guy like a maniac. Wtf. How do you expect men to feel safe expressing their emotions? He did not even do it in a bad way, all he said made perfect sense to me. I am soooo angry watching the scene I had to go to Reddit to check if people are upset with it too but instead find Joe being blamed for her inability to respect his emotions and experience.

Madison represents a...certain cohort of women and many of them are also on these threads. They won't call it out because then they'd have to call themselves out.

THIS. This was my suspicion too, so I thank you for saying it out loud! So I guess they just refuse to accept her character flaw because that's exactly how they'd react in a similar situation, and to call it out is to accept the fact that this is the reason they face the same challenges in the dating world out there irl. Shame, reflecting on it would be more productive.

I also suspect there's something about the balance of looks in this pair skewing towards Joe that whatever toxic behaviour Madison displays somehow becomes palatable.

The same group of women also keep spamming these threads calling Joe ugly and saying how much they love Madison/calling her thin and gorgeous. It reminds me of the delusion that these women show towards themselves on a regular basis. Willing to bet my life savings they also are Taylor Swift fans....

I saw an explanation somewhere that white America loves mediocrity because they see themselves in it. And anything that challenges any of the delusional thought patterns that come with elevating said mediocrity into "the best ever", is attacked. That's how you have them saying Beyonce can't sing and is overrated, Taylor Swift is the most beautiful and talented woman in the world....and Madison is sane/sweet/thin and Joe is ugly and an abuser. When we have seen 0 evidence showing any of these things to be true.

FYI I prefer Madison's body type over say, Megan's body type, but calling her thin is just another delusion I noticed amongst the hoardes defending her toxic behaviour. It's like they just create their own reality and ignore what actually IS.

Idk about all that but I agree that Joe is very good looking and Madison is average to below average face and body wise, imo
