The creator of `Love Is Blind ” responds to the indignation of fans concerning the lack of diversity – is held by casting choices!
Chris Coelen Between once again to defend Love is blindBut this time, criticism does not concern controversial competitors – it is the lack of blatant diversity in season 8.
The blow Netflix Meeting experience, which has faced a backlash in the past for the casting of participants with disturbing stories, is now under fire for having presented its white casting to date. According to US WeeklyAbout 30% of the players in this season were people of color, a significant drop in past seasons, where almost half of the participants came from various horizons.
In response to criticism, Chris insists that the program’s casting process is not to check the boxes.
“If you somehow try to check a box, there were many people who were in the group who entered the pods who did not find their person and who we did not choose to [follow]”” Chris explain. In other words, he suggests that the racial makeup of the distribution was not intentional, just the result of the way things took place during the shooting.
He also defended the way the show favors convincing scenarios, declaring: “There are 32 stories, but many people each person. So, if each person starts to go out with 16 people, do the calculation, is that, I don’t know, nearly 1,000 stories? Something like that. And you cannot say that many of them.
According to ChrisTheir main objective is simply to create potential romantic matches – the bottom and the performance take a rear seat in compatibility. You are less concerned with that, to be honest, just try to have a group of people you hope to be somewhat compatible and see what is happening, “he said.
Fans, however, do not buy Chris Coelen explanation. Many have pointed out that the previous seasons have managed to present a diverse distribution without it feeling forced.
A spectator tweeted: “They had no problem launching various couples during past seasons, so why is it suddenly impossible now?” Just say that you wanted a completely white love story and go there.
Others have complained that the show is not lacking in diversity – there is a lack of entertainment. “It is by far the most boring season. No one is interesting, no one has chemistry, and it seems that producers have just chosen the most basic people possible, “wrote a fan.
Another added: “Season 8 gives nothing. The cast is dry, the scenarios are weak, and at this stage, I only look out for habit. »»
With growing criticism, it remains to be seen if Love is blind Will make changes to its casting approach in the coming seasons.
