i don't really care but i think its sooo embarrassing when people react SO strongly against mostly harmless efforts to be more inclusive. like you look batshit insane if you're like THE LIBERALS HAVE STOLEN EVERYTHING FROM ME AND NOW THEY WANT TO TAKE JEFF PROBST SAYING COME ON IN GUYS TOO
I didn't watch yet, but honestly, "Come on in guys" has never bothered me, as well as people saying "hey guys" in person. To be honest, I'm more bothered by people saying gals, that makes me cringe.
I guess also its just annoying to see talks of covid, this conversation brought up twice, despite it allegedly being back to basics theres like 5 new twist in just the premiere...
Like its kinda just a shit first episode and Im annoyed as a whole.
As a woman, like Evvie, I have to wonder if it's just our tendency to be passive and try not to offend men. We know that men are sensitive. It's also why we shiver all summer in the A/C, wearing a cardigan, lest the men should suffer momentary warmth. Don't worry, Dave, I like my sweater in July.
Then today, my son was tagged out of a sports game by a girl. And I realized I wasn't going to say "I saw that kid tag you", because the word kid actually leans masculine, and it seemed important to specify it was a girl.
I'm fine with "Come on in!" Jeff had used it before plenty of times. What bothers me is that he made such a big deal, and now fans may hate Ricard for being the guy who killed "guys". Also I'm glad he just dropped the "guys" and didn't change it to "folx with an x" or anything else awkward and glaring.
