“Love Is Blind” Gets Dragged for Casting Carbon Copies: The Internet’s Hilarious Take
So, the latest season of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” is making waves, but not for the reasons you might think. Viewers are cracking up (and rolling their eyes) at the casting choices, specifically regarding what some are calling a case of “same face syndrome.” Social media is ablaze with jokes and memes poking fun at how it seems the production team may have just rebranded identical-looking guys in different fonts this season.
Twitter and TikTok are flooded with reactions like, “Why do they all have the same face structure and hair color? Their hairstyles aren’t even that distinct!” Another person confessed they couldn’t tell three cast members apart in the first two episodes. It’s 2023, people! Viewers are clamoring for some variety and representation. One particularly viral tweet bluntly stated, “If ANYTHING shows the importance for DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), it should be this new season of #LoveIsBlind.” The consensus seems to be that there’s a need for a greater mix of faces in reality TV, and this season is just not cutting it.
Interestingly, the discourse highlights a broader issue in entertainment, where diversity in casting is still a work in progress. Popular shows have faced backlash over similar concerns, compelling industry leaders to rethink representation. Variety reported that audiences are increasingly vocal about their expectations for diversity, especially on platforms like Netflix, which has made its mission known to include more authentic storytelling.
Meanwhile, TikTok users are even expressing curiosity over whether “Love Is Blind” needs to hire a new casting director. It remains clear that while love may be blind, audience perception isn’t, leading to this uproarious showdown between viewers and producers. Will the team step up their game and deliver more variety in future seasons? Only time will tell, but for now, at least we can all enjoy a good laugh while promoting the importance of diversity in entertainment.
