His boundaries were valid; however, it was how he went about it in a way that gave I don’t like you. Which was layer basically confirmed by Ace when he said he picked Amaya because earlier Chelly and him agreed to explore other islanders even though they knew they liked each other. He wasted her time and proceeded to have this “I hate my couple” attitude.
Um well no. I will always defend him from racism and the hate he’s getting right now bc he doesn’t deserve it, and especially not now but he was extremely weird to Amaya and people are allowed to find him weird for that during his time in the villa. Let’s be serious it was so disgusting
Amaya never even had a problem w his boundaries, she said she felt horrible that he was talking to her in that way and dismissing her even tho HE chose to couple up w her and got emotional. She already apologized for the crashout immediately and explained herself perfectly and took accountability. that’s all we want from the islanders anyways
You're saying I'm contradicting myself, but you're misunderstanding my point. A person can do something imperfect or unintentionally hurtful without being 'wrong' in a moral sense. 'Doing something wrong' suggests harmful intent or bad character, and I don't think that fits Amaya. She clearly wasn't listening in that moment, and she even owned up to that. That's growth. What I'm saying is: people mess up, interrupt, misread situations. It doesn't make them villains.
If she's open to learning from it, why keep labeling her as “wrong”? Not everything has to be about blame. My issue is with the way people are quick to label and shame instead of just letting people grow. And that goes for Ace too-I agree he was unfairly villainized. The real contradiction is pretending to support growth while still clinging to blame
Islanders say that re couplings are always intense and there’s a high afterwards, right after the re coupling it wasn’t about what he said to her but the tone in which he said it. And fine this could’ve been unintentional but he came off as he just didn’t want her to be her. He was well aware of how she operated before the re coupling and then proceeded to list things about her that he didn’t want. Then topping it all off his tone and then the sneaking off with Chelly.
And I never claimed she was a villain. We obviously have different definitions of the word “wrong” bc I see it as saying that the way she went about communicating with him was wrong, which is true. She barely let him get full sentences out and you can’t expect good communication when you’re not letting the other side get a word out. Did she have growth? Absolutely. But the way ppl attacked him was ridiculous when she was the main reason why they didn’t have good communication when coupled up
No one's denying that she could've handled that moment better. I literally said that. My point is just that labeling it as “wrong” in a moral, definitive way doesn't help anyone grow. You're focused on proving she was 'more at fault' when I'm saying: let's stop treating emotionally messy moments like they have to come with blame or a villain. People learn. They misstep. That doesn't make them inherently wrong.
Also his tone was always calm when he was speaking to her and he was very open to hearing how she felt about things. I just think she felt rejected because he just wasn’t fucking with her pace and that’s fine because that just means she wasn’t for him. He also did tell her about being open to exploring other connections and that she should still explore other people as well because he didn’t want to take away from her experience.
