it blows my mind how intellectually lazy y’all are. you need to pull the race card every time bc you know you lack the critical thinking skills to make any other argument, & you’re too intellectually dishonest to engage with what other ppl are saying.
i can’t wait for everyone to just admit that the whole believing nic and olandria are a PR couple thing is just rooted in racism

You’re so right but also it’s definitely a factor amongst people who talk about Nicolandria so not really that crazy in this context

it’s not about “pulling the race card” it’s true. bc this whole pr narrative could be said about all the other love island couples from S7 as well, like even the winners broke up like a month after the show ended, but no one blinked an eye. iris jumped from tj to pepe to tj, no one said anything. taylor and clarke broke up too, nobody called them PR and they were together for same amt of time as nicolandria

i’m not going to deny that there are racist people in the world, but to act like most people who don’t believe in nicolandria are racist is just incredibly disingenuous and not true

Ive never seen a couple recieve more pr allegations since nicolandria. Now ppl say they rewnewing the contract lol. Idk y u expect fans of the couple to sit quiet while comments like that are said every time ppl are happy for simple things such as sitting close next to each other at a wedding

Idk why everytime pr allegations have to be said a whole ass year after their season ended. Why cant people who dislike nicolandria block and move on without getting a “gotcha” moment. I get ppl calling haters racist bc why is it so important to repeat yourself about ppl u dont know every month

there probably are other pr couples, but idk all of them. i have plenty of reasons why i think they’re a pr couple, and none of those reasons have anything to do with race. when production were the ones who put them together, ofc they’re gonna get pr allegations, esp when they themselves said they only feel a platonic connection toward each other. it’s really as simple as that. 1 + 1 = 2 💀

if their fans want to defend them that badly, then they’re free to do so. but let’s actually come up with substantive arguments instead of pulling the race card every 5 seconds. i also genuinely don’t understand why it’s supposedly okay for nicolandria fans to harass people for no reason, but the second someone responds to them, we’re suddenly supposed to stay quiet…? if they want to defend nicolandria, they have every right to do that, but other people also have every right to respond to them

you can’t say they’re allowed to have a voice while everyone else has to shut up just bc you disagree with them. that’s incredibly hypocritical. and this whole, ‘why is it so important to repeat yourself about people you don’t know every month?’ i could literally ask the same thing about nicolandria fans. their fanbase is one of the most parasocial groups of fans i’ve ever seen in my life lmao. if they’re allowed to be loud about their opinions, then so is everyone else

I’m agreeing with the people that aimlessly throw that out there but there are def people that are very loud about Nicolandria who are easily race obsessed and I’m sure both groups of “fans” often interact bc they both are the type to comment just to argue so idk

y’all pick and choose who to call fake and the logic never makes sense, and even during S8 they tried to have the “fake couple” discourse with bryce and trinity too early on too. so it’s not that crazy to say it’s rooted in racism, everytime they see a white man and black woman on this show pursue each other the immediate reaction is that it’s fake, like why is it so impossible to believe they like each other, but easy to believe with everyone else??

There is plenty of substantial arguments but do you want to listen? 1. Sure lets say they started off PR. But with minimal brand deals, seeing each other’s family, hanging out with each other’s close friends, him sleeping in her room at her birthday sleepover, multiple lives of them laughing and chatting with each other, yeah ive been a nicolandria fan since last year so I’ve seen how their relationship evolved

2. Lets talk about other recent couples of szn 7. Huda and louis is ghetto toxic ish, iris and tj have no substance besides him being her yes man, taylor tried trapping clarke at a farm and threatening to take her louis bags if she acted out. Now none of them have had the amount of pr allegations as nicola.

3. Lets talk about nicola’s issues shall we? He’s messy, she’s organized, ola talks about how that irritates her frequently. They dont see each other much. Well, when a traveling dj and an upcoming international model get together, that sounds normal no? But instead of trapping each other, they support each other’s careers and passions. Just seeing how successful they are proves their strength together and apart.

Yes, u can have your opinion, but in my opinion, your ish consists of proof from a year ago. People can change in a year. And all ive seen is 2 ppl who love and defend each other while the media outlets and fake friends try to tear them down.

“why is it so impossible to believe they like each other but easy to believe with everyone else?” maybe bc all of the other couples got together on their own without production interference. maybe it’s bc nic and olandria themselves said they only felt a platonic connection between them. maybe it’s the fact that if cierra never left, nicolandria would’ve never happened. like i said, there’s a plethora of reasons people question their relationship that have absolutely nothing to do with race.

a lot of y’all just want to chalk everything up to race bc you don’t want to acknowledge all of the other valid arguments people are making. it’s easier to pull the race card than to actually use critical thinking and engage with what people are saying. and let’s not rewrite history just to defend nicolandria lol. people had plenty to say about iris, taylor, and clarke too, so this idea that only nicolandria was targeted is just not true.

and if we really want to have a conversation about race, a lot of the nicolandria fans who were accusing everyone else of being racist were ironically reinforcing some pretty uncomfortable racial stereotypes themselves. there’s so much i have to say, but it won’t all fit in the comments, so here are my thoughts…

You can say that about a lot of things in life. “If x didn’t happen, then y would never happened.” Nothing is ever guaranteed in life and people have the right to change their minds about how they feel about someone. So what if they said it was platonic at first, that could easily change into romantic especially after all those kisses and challenges. And staying with someone and trying to make it work for a year when they’ve both have their own motion doesn’t give PR.

Race and skin tone also play a big role in what society deems as attractive and who “goes together.” Race is inevitability going to be a topic of discussion when people are going so hard against them, especially when other couples didn’t get that same treatment. That season was weird altogether but the heat they get is crazy when they lasted the longest.
