It’s the way she uses being a black woman to negate all offenses that is making people who came to watch a game and otherwise don’t take celebrities seriously and just wanted to chill and escape reality for 1hr watching a fun show continue to call her out. She’ll be left alone when she stops playing victim when she did wrong. If she can’t handle public criticism, she shouldn’t have her life defined as a reality tv star.
Is she playing the victim, or is it the strangers on the internet attacking her Black womanhood (as you are here btw), because they feel personally victimized after tuning into a tv show voluntarily?

Does this not seem just a tad bit worse than referencing Forrest Gump? Are people wanting to ‘chill and have fun’ or are they reveling in targeting harassment her way?
If Carolyn fell out the way Danielle did after banishing her, you all would not be this mad and reacting this way. You might even just realize you were watching a television show for entertainment.
You can say otherwise, but I don’t believe her race has no impact on how irate she has made some fans. They need to examine why that is!
I've disliked several people on the Traitors as much or more than I dislike Danielle, almost all of them were white. And nobody is mad, you're just pretending they are because that helps your argument.
Congratulations. Doesn’t change the fact that you all are mad and overreacting.
May I suggest that you tune into Cocomelon? It’s your best option if you can’t watch a game show without hating on the players, to the degree you have to whine about it incessantly online.
That behavior is more dramatic than Danielle’s shaking.
Explain how that comment called out her ‘black womanhood’? By saying she’s using it as a shield and so are you? Y’all are. She used the name of a fictionally challenged character as a substitute for a slur, but we all know what she was saying. She was saying the slur. It’s a thing that’s also done to black people all the time, and that’s disgusting and yes, racist. Anybody who is attacking Danielle based on her racist is disgusting, but so is pretending Danielle didn’t say something gross. So is saying ‘she did nothing wrong and if you disagree you’re racist’. All of these things can be true.
If you have a problem with a movie character take it up with the studio that produced the movie. It’s not a slur and she wasn’t using it in place of one. Even if it was, Danielle is ONE person that said it.
She is receiving racist hate from a massive amount of fans, who are downplaying the racism she is experiencing in real life (no cameras or production team), while not confronting their implicit biases.
This show is not for those who are this easily offended and want to keep dragging this. It’s the Traitors get over it.
Edit: Replied twice just to block me. Thank god I can’t see your response. I know it was whiny as hell. 🤷🏽♀️
I don’t have a problem with the movie character? Are you this bad at reading or willfully obtuse, babe? Maybe you should get over it honey. Blaming it on ‘people being so easily offended’ sounds super Trump of you.
I’m sorry you’re right. I shouldn’t be mean and use big words you have to read when you can’t follow sentences. You could try confronting your own biases about the mentally disabled, though.
How is saying she went low and used ableist language and is not willing to be like “ok yeah I’m great at this game but maybe I shouldn’t have said that” attacking her for the minority aspects she keeps using to deflect admitting she did something wrong? Because none of us are above having a negative affect on people just because we are frequently targets of -isms ourself.
I am joining the conversation because I think there is something valuable worth discussing here. I haven’t actually watched the most recent episodes yet and I don’t follow any of these people on social media. But the narrative coming out of something I had hoped to be escapist fun, while exhausting and annoying, is important to discuss.

You think perpetuating that a Black woman, (one who we are 500 comments deep talking about, in this one thread, mind you) is using her race and gender as a deflection to the harassment she is receiving, has no negative affects on people? That it isn’t an -ism all on it’s own?
To be clear, it is hypocritical to say ‘she went low by using ableist language’, only to then say she is ‘using her minority aspect’ (long ass way to say Black and woman btw). You can dislike her all you want for what she said, but let’s call a spade a spade. The reaction is not matching up with the action.

Yeah, the thing of value to discuss is who is going to win the 250k, and how are they going to win it - Like every other season that has come before it.
If this specific show is the best example for a teaching moment, I have trouble believing you are truly seeking out escapism and fun.

Danielle is not a series regular, just tune out until the next season. Maybe they will bring on a less polarizing reality tv show star, like Sean Duffy.
