These types of comments only dilute real claims of misogyny and make it harder for people to take them seriously.

Joker is so clearly lying about not playing league. I REALLY don’t play league and I couldn’t even pretend to know anything about it. All I know about it is that it’s a team game, and you can cast spells. That’s literally it. When he started going in about who he plays and stuff… nobody who doesn’t play league could possibly do that. He sounded like he was speaking a foreign language. Also, when he was listing his reasons for pushing the button, he repeated back to her who’s he played. 1) If he didn’t play league, why would it matter who she plays? 2) For someone who “couldn’t imagine playing league,” he sure remembered her characters name really easily.

@auliamate We are awesome! Thankfully, I found a woman who wants to be my partner in this crazy world who loves me just the way I am.

[@angelodusoleil]

You might just be taking the show too seriously. The players are just high schoolers, so I have to imagine finding love (especially on a KZbin dating show) isn’t a high priority for them. Even in general, most contestants are probably just here to have fun and get a check at the end, but it’s likely even more the case for teens.

[@anamariab.7305]

I love when cody is allowed to have fun! Whoever lets him do that, thank u.

I still don’t like it, it is unfair to me, Phil Shoemaker.

I always forget how much of a short king Cody actually is until he walks away from the desk

[@TheOneNOnlyNathanielB]

I'm 19 but I'll say this, the internet cooked these kids' perception of reality. Edit: Her face at 15:15 😭. The look of pure disappointment.

Cody not comprehending teens is hilarious (me too, buddy, me too)

[@littlesparrow303]

Same!! I was like dang no wonder people always saw teens as cringe. Honestly glad I never dated in middle or high school. Especially since I wasn’t the best version of myself & super shy at the time

I don't think you're an older gen z being two years out of high school. The gen z elders are 26-28 right now.

nah as a 21 year old, these are some weird ass conversations. trying way too hard to sound like a tiktok comment section. why can’t people just talk normally? lol

[@baconscoobysnacks3135]

You should be more worried about doing your job teaching the youth than having secret favorite wholesome students. Very weird thing to say btw, yea some kids are assholes and you don't have to put up with that, but favoritism? True sign of a teacher with a lack of understanding and fucked up priorities

[@krishp1104]

​@@baconscoobysnacks3135Bro she's a teacher not a robot. Ofc she's gonna think the kids who actually put effort into her class are favorites. I'm gen-z and I've taught before as well (granted it was in uni), but it has nothing to do with favoritism, you just care more about the students who put in effort

[@baconscoobysnacks3135]

@@krishp1104 no, that's shitty teacher behavior. If shes a mother is she allowed to have a favorite kid? Lmao. It's seriously not that hard to not do. Some kids are dickbags but they're children. If a child is being uninterested and lazy maybe self reflect on how you're teaching the subject instead of putting all the blame on the child. You are the teacher after all, an adult, you want them to learn from you but you're not willing to learn to teach them properly in a way that actually fits THEIR NEEDS. Because you're stuck in the cookie cutter teaching method which is why so many children fall through the cracks in the education system, such a shame. But it's ok, you have your "favorites"

[@PaDdYwHaCk-y6o]

As a 32 year old this brought me back so many years to puppy love moments. These Gen Z kids aren't as cringe as I thought they would be. pretty adorable actually.

[@jimmyjams962]

It's funny how Cody has so much guilt from roasting strangers on the internet that whenever he encounters something strange or offputting he does his best to channel his energy away from saying "that's cringe" to "that's actually hard af".

[@auliamate]

Or maybe Jayden was just saying some hard as hell one-liners?

That wasn't cringe at all, that was HARD and so real

[@vignotum132]

I’d say invest, the stock may be low at the moment but when he grows up more he could get jacked or something. Also, he might be playing a role. A lot of this is (reportedly) fake or cut in a weird way

[@justynak7644]

Yea I heard that reality shows are like the one that is called the bachelor or maybe it was the one about drug addicted kids but how do you know? My cousin once mentioned it to me and he lives in Europe. I did hear one participant from a dating show explaining that they were making it look bad and cutting stuff or editing and made her look bad so I guess it’s maybe at least not all genuine. I wonder if every participant has to do things like that. But the show love is blind seemed genuine and they even found their person on it so I think therefore it can’t be that fake … I mean can it?
