I’m sorry but the double standards between Martha and Raf is INSANE . LIKE??? I understand the boys coming in for the second season and (mostly I joined in the second season too) but the way y’all (not everyone but minority from what I’m seeing here) are treating raf is so weird????
(Honestly what I’m going to mention I haven’t seen ANYONE else mention which is so bizarre)
Guys. Martha literally had the same situation as raf, with the whole teacher being exposed as a p*do and making students uncomfortable. What did Martha react at first? She was shocked she didn’t know what to do, or even how to react. In fact she didn’t want to believe the person helping her or was SO NICE to her that he was a bad person.
How do we react to this when we Martha breaking down?
We see her break down from the one person who helped her the most (the teacher) see that side she didn’t want to see.
she realized herself, the whole world she saw it was bad. And she was being protected. She BROKE that fantasy of trying to see everyone else as nice people without malicious intentions.
And then what did we as time passed while she was on the island?
When she realized that she had to KILL the goat in order to survive ???
That because of the goat it symbolizes her past with how she’s seen the world, and with people???
Something I don’t like is how when raf is introduced and yet when the same situation is being applied with Seth how it was EXACTLY with Martha, everyone points fingers at raf because he “should’ve known better???” HUH????
LIKE having Raf EXACTLY like Martha on the same issue as him not knowing if he should trust people about it but when it’s a boy its different.
As someone who’s been sa’d and HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED as hell from sa, mol*st*d, etc This is most accurate on both parts.
Just because raf didn’t go in the same development as Martha in the same time because it was shortened (because it was both boys and girls this season) makes me go :/
because since he’s my fav he gets a lot of backlash for what???
Defending Seth because Seth sa’d someone and because raf wasn’t at least sure whether to belive Josh???? because Raf was the FIRST person on the island to be close with Seth?? WHAT???
It’s so fucking weird to me how everyone thinks maths was valid but raf????? No. Not raf.
I get some of y’all don’t like the boys I get it. I didn’t like them at first a little, now I’m a whole defender squad for them (EXCEPT SETH)
But the way raf reacted similarly to the way Martha reacted when they both found out that the person they had a relationship with did something EXTREMELY BAD???
It even makes me iffy too especially raf being a poc (like me and Hispanic) like???
But something like ??? Is when y’all understand Martha going through the EXACT same thing with the p*do teacher that (oh let him burn in hell cause he was ugly anyways)
BUTT when its EXACTLY raf being friends with Seth who sa’d him (and Seth was attractive at first BEFORE HE SA’D JOSH) like NO! Let’s point fingers BOTH at Seth AND Raf.
(Seth is completely understandable but raf????)
LIKE THE DOUBLE STANDARDS IN THIS FANDOM IS SO FUNNY
they’re both valid feeling for what they BOTH had to feel on someone they BOTH knew who sa’d/r worded people. not just Martha.
So stop hating on him because y’all don’t like the boys at all this season and there’s no other reason to hate him???
Raf only felt like he did was right or so what he thought was right and that was defending his friend???
It’s not his fault for not even knowing which side to even be on?? until later he ACCEPTED FULLY the fact that Seth was completely in the wrong for what he did. Even if they were friends. It was fucked up.
Im standing behind Raf because y’all are literally hating on my boy FOR NOTHING. (And okay if you want to hate on him for that reason be my guest completely valid. But you know what’s not valid??? Hating on raf because LITERALLY he defended Seth just like the way Martha did with her teacher and having raf more to blame because he’s someone who came later on in the series and he’s a boy like 🤨??)
And especially like him being MANIPULATED??? BY SETH??
So because raf wasn’t in the know of the SA because HE WASNT THERE. He ONLY HEARD IT. How did y’all expect him to act???? To not side with Seth because he was close with him??? THE SAME WAY WITH MARTHA siding with the teacher???
Is it fucked up raf thought before that Seth was the good guy and he’d never do anything wrong??
But y’all RAF WASNT THERE.
His feelings are JUST AS VALID AS MARTHA, WHEN SHE NOT ONLY FOUND OUT HER TEACHER WAS A P*DO.
Not justifiable, not excusable even. but valid that’s my whole point and stance on this.
And I also get that even if he WASNT there he should’ve believed Josh because they’re FRIENDS.
I know that. But from the beginning Seth and RAF MET came instant manipulation from Seth because he hid behind a mask until it was revealed.
It’s not raf’s fault EVEN for how he feels. You know why? Because even with a subject like sa is very touchy subject, people who have relationships like with SA Josh ( A SA VICTIM ) STATED even HE knew how raf would react and it’s VALID. from when it was all revealed that “he didn’t want to get in the way of that because he knows something like sa could ruin their friendship like this” and it did because raf realized JUST LIKE MARTHA later on how everyone in this world doesn’t come with good intentions and he was EXACTLY manipulative like Martha and her teacher.
So who’s to blame more raf or Martha? Or just completely raf though he went through the same thing?? Even though Martha is more “VALID” than him?
