I think the circle is a great conceit for a show because it really shows that there are a lot of men out there who believe that things would be Much easier for them if they were able to present themselves as "hot blonde woman" and it's very satisfying for them to quickly discover, oh they are all ganging up on Hot Blonde Woman, oh everyone in the chat is making enemies and tearing down this girl, oh I have Immediately become a target
And I do think that this belief that they will have a easier time becoming popular if they look like Woman Character is coming from how we see women doing better in dating apps and social media. But these specific guys seem unable to register that women can perform better in these spaces because they know how to Present themselves. They know how to build the profile, construct the narrative and talk about themselves (a symptom of growing up being constantly critiqued and looked at).
So like is Hot Blonde Woman character more likely to do better on social media, yes perhaps, but it's because they've become very good at creating this identity and know what audience they're targeting, it is not as these men discover much to their chagrin, because they are just inherently hot and it falls into their lap
#this is coming From a genderfluid person (me) so I hope the broad gender terms aren't too generalised#sorry if they are#Don't want this to be a 'men do this and women do this' post#but yeah saying there is a certain demographic of men who are unable to accept that becoming Popular is a time consuming skill#and if a woman has a following it's cause they played the game well#and anyone who had the upbringing of a girl hearing someone say 'oh I'll have a woman character for this game that will-#-make everyone like me' is aware of how Hilarious that statement is😭#the circle#tv shows#reality tv
