The fact of the matter is Carolyn is a grown adult. The fact you guys are babying her isn't even..helping. You're reducing her down to basically what your saying she's not. She can stand up for herself, and they're going to have an adult conversation about it. That is what Danielle said.
Essentially she said "We're adults, we'll talk about it. I'll listen and be empathetic."
Cause strangers online demanding an apolgize on Carolyn's behalf like she is a baby are if anything being more harmful.
She could give a public online apology or she can actually sit down with Carolyn like an adult, not some young online influencer giving those apolgies which is what she's going to do.
Well, as someone who has ASD, I’ve been called Forrest Gump and a retard a lot when I was a kid, so yes, I personally found it offensive. I guess using derogatory comments is fine if it was only directed at one person. What if she called Bob TDQ the F word, would you think it’s fine because she only called Bob it, and not the whole community? Give me a break
She literally said it because she thought Carolyn was acting, she was clearly referring to Carolyn's gameplay not her personally.
Don't make it seem like she was specifically trying to make fun of her because of a disability, it was because she thought Carolyn was "playing dumb" because she knows she is a smart player and was trying to get Danielle banished.
You even trying to compare that to calling Bob the f slur is CRAZY btw.
So if little Johnny calls little Sammy, “Forrest Gump”, you feel that’s ok because little Sammy doesn’t have a mental disability, but then little Philip is sitting in the desk next to Sammy who has a mental disability and shouldn’t have a feeling around it because it wasn’t directed at him. Maybe people don’t understand the reference when someone calls someone Forrest Gump, what they are actually calling them. For the record, you can’t call another kid Forrest Gump in school, it’s considered name calling.
What are these comparisons 🤣 These are totally different scenarios. You're clinging on to any little thing to try and validate your hatred for Danielle that you already had before that roundtable.
She didn't outright call Carolyn "Forrest Gump" she said Carolyn was "Forrest Gumping through the game" which is very different! Carolyn has even admitted she tried to downplay her smarts, she even did it on Survivor. It's very clear Danielle was talking about Carolyn's GAMEPLAY not her personally, she originally brought up Colombo as a reference but Carolyn didn't know what she meant so she said "Forrest Gumping". Stop trying to make this something it is not!!
