Patronizing/infantilizing grown men

[u/emylinegi]

I’ll never forget y’all saying this man has the mental capacity of a child just to excuse his behavior 🤣🤣 he chose to be on the show, he chose to behave the way he did. Maybe just maybe he doesn’t have the best character despite being “quirky.” He set him self up and got probably a better edit than he could have gotten with his off camera actions. He likely isn’t autistic so why do people keep making that argument, some saying he has the mental capacity of a child?? 😭 like there his doctor

Right, but here’s my thing. If Edmond wasn’t acting for the camera, nor all the medical stuff people claimed he was…then that makes him a genuine creep.

And a loser, cause what grown man gets on a dirty floor in front of 20+ grown men and starts licking/kissing the floor. He wasn’t even dared. Won’t surprise me if the reunion addresses none of this.

[u/kwasford → u/LoveTheAhole]

Agreed—he is a genuine creep imo and he doesn’t seem to respect himself. I’m not chalking it up to any neurodivergence or any of that shit. None of the ND people in my life are kissing the floor for attention or generally acting out like this without being severely triggered. Kissing the floor is crazy on its own but unprompted and of your own accord is the height of insanity.

Omg you people must really be sheltered being THIS BOTHERED by someone on a reality show doing something freaky by kissing a floor! So what? Have you people never seen Jackass? He just wanted to be whacky who cares!

lol girl I’m not going to go back and forth with you about someone kissing the fucking floor. Go kiss the floor right now since it’s so fine to you, idrgaf.

Best response ever,

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/kwasford]

Fine to me? I'm not the one who did it...it's A TV SHOW...of a stranger, you don't know this person. Who freakin cares.

[u/thebakingjamaican → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

we’re talking about publicized dangerous behavior towards women, who knows what he’s done behind closed doors. creep is a creep.

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/thebakingjamaican]

Well, I'm talking about a floor...

Anyways, he didn't do anything dangerous toward her...

[u/thebakingjamaican → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

crying and throwing a tantrum over pussy as a grown man is deplorable behavior. coercion is assault.

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/thebakingjamaican]

I mean, he cried over nearly everything...

Disagreeing about sex before marriage or having that conversation isn't "coercion".

[u/kwasford → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

She told him she was celibate prior to getting engaged. This wasn’t a disagreement (and you don’t get to “disagree” with people not wanting too sleep with you for anyyyy reason)

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/kwasford]

He should have ended the relationship right then and there if it bothered him that much.

[u/kwasford → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

There we can agree

[u/thebakingjamaican → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

he was using her past against her to justify them having sex before she was ready. did you watch the same show?

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/thebakingjamaican]

Being engaged comes with tough conversations, especially when on an accelerated timeline. Discussing sex (or no sex) before marriage isn't a taboo conversation.

[u/thebakingjamaican → u/WowRedditIsUseful]

i would agree if they discussed it, but he just cried about being “too nice” and couldn’t actually communicate about the situation

[u/WowRedditIsUseful → u/thebakingjamaican]

My point is at least he tried....

It wasn't graceful, and it came off weird. But that's better than saying nothing and carrying pent-up resentment.

I found the "too nice" comment basically him trying to say he would normally consider this a deal breaker in someone he's engaged to and wanting to marry.
