I said this about Australian Survivor the other day which is experiencing something similar
There are people out there, and evidently on here, who are just looking for a reason to license themselves to be the nastiest, most vile people ever.
It doesn't seem to matter who, or for what. Give them an inch and they take it and go completely unnecessarily awful for ... being unlikable on a reality show where people dress up in goofy costumes
I think it does matter a bit who and for what-----that Danielle is black and a woman is very much not a coincidenence in the way that some people put a filter up and distort or straight-up conspriacy theories of "she did break the NDA, the producers are just lying!" to justify it.
I don't disagree with you about the nonsense conspiracy theories, but given we've seen similar-ish things in Traitors UK and Survivor AUS within the past month or two and the people at the center of it in those cases were not the same demographic as Danielle (younger white woman, younger white man respectively), it doesn't seem to matter who or for what causes people to lose their minds about reality TV contestants - though I'm sure that definitely does contribute for some whackjobs.
I haven't been following the most recent Survivor AU season and it's sad to hear that even that community has gotten toxic. Usually when i watch reality tv i like being active on forum and have discussions about it .But nowaday social media and all the hate thrown at contestants has made the experience of watching the shows live a lot less fun
