Comment posted on 20 June 2018
Yeah it's massively problematic and really irks me. While the body and identity politics are worth heeding - specifically that ITV have defended their position by saying that physical appearance is NOT a criterion on which contestants, which is incredibly difficult to believe - my issue with it is more overarching and something that Iain Stirling, the voice presenter, has addressed somewhat when he said Love Island is seen to 'dumb down' the nation. As opposed to dumbing down, I think it serves as an overwhelming indictment of the superficiality of modernity. It takes love and sex and places it on an economistic platform without regard for how the men and women - who are wildly segregated, be it by choice or not - take the experience differently. It is, however, heartening (if that's the right word) to see the viewing public rally against the more problematic (at the very least) behaviour. Prime of which is throwing camaraderie out of the window for self-serving sex and ill excuses for emotional infatuation. I have watched this season to fathom out the appeal and I've moved away from my previous allegation that it's as close as you can get to porn on primetime television and towards the view that its issues are, ironically, more complex. There's also the argument that bad television has value, something you can switch your mind off to watch, but I think the spectatorial appeal around Love Island is much more sordid than that.
