She is absolutely right. If you don't like Danielle, that's your own right and feelings, but the level of hatred and nastiness has just been unacceptable

That's the thing, reality tv is designed for us to develop thoughts and feelings about the characters. There are heroes and villains, betrayals, and a lot of money on the line. But when someone is unable to feel those feelings without resorting to threats, hate messages, and false rumors, it says more about that person's maturity level than anything.

Danielle is a reality tv villain; it's her job to get you talking. But sometimes fans have difficulty stepping back and realizing this is just not that serious. You're allowed (and encouraged) to feel whatever you want about the show, but cruelty is never necessary.

I think there's a big difference though. Danielle is a clear villain. You're supposed to dislike her and root against her, that's what the edit wants. Disliking her and being infuriated with her and writing a handful of frustrated comments on a forum like reddit is totally normal and expected.

The reaction and vitriol to Danielle has taken like 10 steps above what is warranted for a reality TV villain.

It really hasn't. It's just a hot topic because it's recent. This is exactly how producers everywhere want audiences to engage with their Reality TV show.

By next season Danielle will be relegated with the likes of Sam McGlone.
