Colton underwood- american football player

This thread is really disappointing. I think we can all acknowledge his troubling past and still empathize with his heartfelt coming out story to Robin Roberts. He talked about being borderline suicidal and having an identity crisis throughout the years, and he even apologized about his behavior. Yeah I understand the bitterness about his rise to fame and good looks/masculinity but damn people have a heart. This shit is vile
Except he didn’t apologize for his behavior. He barely mentioned it other than to make excuses for it.
 
He is sort cute in a generic Grindr DL guy kind of way but the more I read about him the more messed up he seems. I hope he gets help for that but I don't need to contribute to his wallet. A Netflix show? I'm over him. :D

If there's ever nudes, I'll still look because it's who I am. :joy:

Seriously fuck off. This is way bigger than that and you're making yourself look a fool.

I don’t think he is going to be the “gay man” that society is going to want. I don’t think there will be lots of rainbows and pride posts. It’s sad because many will be rude and hateful to him for not being like that. I actually think it is super cool of him to be his own kind of person.

It's a farce that he tries to hide it. I remember him going on the View and being the laughingstock of the segment. He was blindingly gay, he has the same mannerisms and voice that I have, so even straight people could see his gayness from afar. Joy Behar spotted it right away. She's a New Yorker, we can see these things. All things considered, it's a good thing that he came out. But he doesn't deserve a Netflix series.
 
You’re just the traditionally masculine guy who prowls gay gossip forums...
I am very much an out gay man who is married to another man. When I was younger I found I didn’t fit a lot of the gay stereotypes which made it difficult to figure out where and how I fit in. I think that’s my whole point. It doesn’t mean “traditionally masculine” is better than any other stereotype!
 
Emotional violence is still violence. Don’t make a wordy threat in the hopes of freaking me out. Won’t work here.

“Emotion violence” is not violence in any understanding of the word. This is just an attempt by whiny weak people to silence anyone they don’t like. If you don’t like what someone says, ignore them.

How to Identify and Cope With Emotional Abuse

“Emotional abuse is a way to control another person by using emotions to criticize, embarrass, shame, blame, or otherwise manipulate another person. In general, a relationship is emotionally abusive when there is a consistent pattern of abusive words and bullying behaviors that wear down a person's self-esteem and undermine their mental health.”
 
my 2¢ for what its worth... let the guy live out his truth. there are circumstances that maybe he hadn't realized. good for him to embark on his own journey. I wish him the best, and it's not easy for anyone to just "come out" especially as a public figure. I consider this a very brave guy and whatever is in the past, is in the past. his truth can begin whenever he wants.

I’m not gonna hold this guy over the fire forever. It’s ultimately not worth it. He’s just a reality show contestant. And there are far worse folks. While most deserve to move on. But people really need to come up with better rebuttals than “I think he’s hot” or “why post here if you’re gonna criticize him” or “let his past be his past” or “I like him because he’s ‘masculine” (even though he looks like and has the same mannerisms as most InstaGays). Instead of actually truly confronting the myriad of criticisms he’s receiving. The same people saying shit like that are often the very ones talking about “shallow ‘gays”. There’s actually nuanced and difficult conversation going on. But of course, y’all can’t fully indulge that because you’d have to confront your own biases and f-ed up shit. And I’m sure many of y’all are the same folks who caped up for Aaron Schlock and his tired ass “oh well, sorry not sorry” coming out.

You’ll find little sympathy on this forum for articulating this position but I fully understand what you mean. There are many kinds of personal hell, and having the “privilege” of more easily passing as straight is no less a personal hell than any other. It’s a complete and total mindf^ck and leads to just as much self-loathing, hopelessness, desperation, and suicidal thoughts.
 
I honestly don’t know who the anti-Colton posters are arguing with on here. I haven’t read one comment from anyone saying how great of a guy Colton is. The non-negative comments are those of congratulations and well wishes.

It feels like the outrage over the attention a reality star is getting for coming out is attached to the greater dislike of the rise of reality stars in general. I wonder if this is what it was like when people thought actors were all opportunistic scum of the earth?
 
I'm really not familiar enough with him or really any of the Bachelor "stars" to say he's scum. I'm just going from his GMA interview and the stories I read yesterday. It all just seems very insincere and manufactured for publicity.

I could be completely off base but I don't see him being a champion of closeted kids any more than I saw Caitlyn as an advocate for trans rights but since I am neither of those things then my opinion hardly matters.
I meant to say the things him and Caitlyn Jenner have done are scummy. Sorry, i didnt make that clearer.

I agree with you on your second point and I'm neither also. I can't take someone seriously when there's an ulterior motive such as shows and magazine covers lined up.
