I think Love Island removing people for saying slurs in the past is dumb. It's created a toxic culture where fans immediately dig up everything they can find on the cast. It also takes away accountability from casting to find these things first.

girl wtf are you talking about? why would you allow someone who has said racial slurs in the most recent past they’ll be allowed on a live television show? Where the lowkey the main for the contestants is to get brand deals afterwards. ?? what are you talking about?

Keep in mind this is the same fanbase that has a history of sharing old sex tapes of the contestants which is highly unethical. They even removed some guy for doing gay porn which I thought was weird. I don't like how the show rewards that kind of behavior. I feel like once casting clears these people through their background checks, they should just have to live with whatever they missed. We also need to have an honest conversation about the fact that most people have said a slur in their life.

Well I was into more fair competition reality shows well before I ever got to Love Island so that probably impacts my perspective. But I'd say let them stay on the show, let the viewers vote them off if they want to, and let them get no brand deals after.

Also you seem to be under the impression that any show would do this which is not the case
