It's making me really uncomfortable

Analyse and Holly didn't say that solely because of his skin color. They said it was because he had a gf at home, and that Sam would never do what Ovi was doing (obviously we don't know what they're talking about because feeds weren't on)
the rest idk about but if true is bad.

"- Jack calling ovi "Brown Flame," which is a degratory joke towards his skin color"

What's derogatory about that? Not only did he used "brown" as an adjective to describe himself in his bio, but he's also called himself brown several times.

Electric it doesn't matter tbh because I feel like Ovi never crossed a line with anything. He is just a very friendly person. They were being VERY dramatic. They are bullying him. Analyse literally said "if you aren't hot you cannot touch me." Majority of the houseguests have talked shit about him and been very demeaning and rude because of what? He hasn't done anything mean or malicous to anyone. It's very digusting imo Electric

Loopspeare obv its deragtory in the situation that he used it in. He first said "blue flame" then said "brown flame" and laughed. He was taking the piss out of Ovi and how he represents himself as a miniority. That's very deragatory and malicious in my opinion.

Was he using "blue flame" as an insult? I don't see how that can be an insult, but I'd need to see context. Regardless, the laughter could simply be the use of verbal art there. Although relations between a regular colour and skin colour are polysemous, they're different enough to be "different" in our minds, and so I can understand how one could perceive that as clever and laugh.

Either way, you shouldn't assume bad intent, deshonBANNEDISBACK.

I am assuming what I am going off of on feeds and Jack has been very disgusting and mean-spirited to Ovi. He literally thinks he's hot shit and is a bully in my opinion. Some of the remarks he makes are very unnecessary and not funny. It's typical high school jock behavior and I will not condone, so sorry if you disagree Loopspeare

Jacks one isnt ok ig, but 'bad energy' is fine.

- Christie repeatedly calling Ovi a creature
Nothing wrong abt that

- Analyse and Holly targeting Ovi because hes "touchy feely?" only because of his skin color;
They're not close with him. It is weird.

- Houseguests completely outcasting the minorities David/Kemi/Ovi/
Their own fault.

Comparing a person of color to a CREATURE is not racist? Sloth_Roman

Only Chinese, Japanese, and Korean POC’s get respect in America it’s sad.

I don’t see how any of this has to do with race except maybe the brown flame thing. You’re allowed to not want to be touched by a guy. You’re allowed to get bad vibes from someone. You’re allowed to not get on with someone. You’re allowed to call someone a “creature.” It’s not racist just because that person is something other than white.
Sent by Fetish,Jun 27, 2019
I didn’t see the feeds so there might be more that actually happened and I don’t have enough context but I don’t get it purely from what you described
Sent by Fetish,Jun 27, 2019
the choice of words such as swagger, brown flame (although some would find that clever, it’s still distasteful), and creature are pretty awful. however, bad energy isn’t that bad honestly. The dude can literally cry on command, and clearly wasn’t vibing with everyone. To top it off, he left due to a twist, that’s bad energy you don’t want associated with you.
Although I find it mean to say you don’t want someone near you or to touch you, the girls have every right to say they don’t want to be touched by someone who is currently dating someone. If the roles were reversed and Ovi was in power and Analyse was the loner, he’d be seen as preying on her vulnerable state of outcast. I don’t think Ovi is a bad guy, I like him, but these girls have voices for a reason.
Once again with the outcasting, I do think it’s more or less circumstantial and a coincidence. Kemi even admits she has trouble being empathetic and nice, and like I said preseason, her issue will be getting people to realize her deadpan humor is her personality, not a sign of apathy.

i do think the houseguest should be better with their choice of words, but I don’t think anyone is being remotely malicious other than maybe Jack?

LMAO at all the people defending this. BB is painfully RACIST and gets worse every season. The fact that 3/4 people Jackson picked on day 1 were minorities speaks volumes about this

The white people defending racism doesn’t shock me on this blog LOL
Sent by EyooMarcus,Jun 27, 2019
They got out David for ZERO REASON.
Kemi has done nothing out of the ordinary, yet finds herself ostracized and painted as a villain who needs to go.
Ovi has had name calling and false predatory comments behind his back.

I’m so tired of big brother I’m losing interest every year

all of those arguments are a fucking stretch, except for Jack calling David "Swaggy" that's pretty blatant
