A new sequence of the reality One of television's most regrettable and toxic moments has gone extremely viral again. Most headlines talk about "shocking," "tense," and "difficult moments." But the scene is much more than that. In Temptation IslandOn the show, where participating couples play a game of provoking infidelity and jealousy, a meeting was arranged between a woman named Almudena and a man named Darío. Upon discovering their respective infidelities, which are part of the show's dynamic, the program summoned them to the "mirror challenge": a beach encounter where they could only communicate through gestures, with a huge transparent methacrylate screen between them. They were forbidden from touching or speaking. The program placed the man in front of the screen, while the woman was sent running along the beach in desperation. The woman had an unprecedented meltdown, screaming, swearing, and hitting the screen. She threw a coconut, which bounced and flew towards the presenter. The woman knelt down to beg for forgiveness, bellowing uncontrollably. She lost control, whether for emotional reasons or simply out of obedience to the show. The scene is sold as "reality," whether induced or fabricated. What viewers witnessed was humiliation and a scene filled with aggression and hatred. The man also raised his fist and banged on the screen. The screen seemed to contain a physical assault. The presenter, Sandra Barneda, with terrible arrogance and condescension, scolded her, warning her not to use words and only gestures. When she ended the spectacle, the girl was devastated and in a state of chilling hysteria, crawling on the sand. Barneda, beyond telling her to breathe, pretended to calm her with phrases likeYou have to trust that, whatever happens, it will all work out for the best." either "If this has happened, is there anything that can be done about it?"And he gave him orders:"Are you going to be strong?"All this accompanied by romantic music and a sunset.
It takes cynicism to normalize and even condone scenes that promote emotional humiliation, aggression, and symbolic violence. While institutions and society work towards feminism, empowerment, and healthy relationships, they perpetuate dramas that foster toxicity in relationships. The thousands of teenagers and young people who follow this garbage, or who encounter it on social media, view irrationality, verbal attacks, intimidation, and psychological abuse as normal and logical. It's a denigration of people, even if they entered the competition voluntarily."Whatever happens, it all comes together for good."Especially from his own pocket."
