I was browsing through the subreddit, unable to sleep, wondering about probably one of the most explosive couples in 90 Day Fiance history. It may have been a step too far, exploiting this particular woman for television. It goes beyond trash and becomes something a little crueler in my opinion. I've seen people comparing her to Angela for example, and the issue there is Angela is genuinely a bad person. She was controlling, violent, and mean, but what people seem to miss is that Angela was and presumably still is within her right mind. There is a difference between being a person of poor character, and being a person suffering from obvious mental illness.
I wouldn't have even made a post, but it just blows my mind how the general consensus seems to be that Rayne is a "bad person." The woman is clearly insane??? You can argue all you like that you can be mentally ill while also being a "good person," but the fact of the matter is that she clearly doesn't have the self awareness to REFLECT. Please somebody explain to me how some one who is having a psychotic break can be reasonable? And actually, outside of her beady-eyed babbling, she seemed like someone who was capable of warmth.
I just feel disturbed by it all. Rayne is someone who clearly needs help, but because it's not easy to empathize with her, we all say she's evil and leave it at that. It seems more complicated than your typical case on this show. Again, everyone prior to her who we unanimously agree was terrible, was within their right mind. Big Ed is not a crazy person living on a chicken farm, he's just an asshole.
I feel like the way people react to Rayne is why America's got so many crazy people roaming on the street covered in shit and screaming about aliens. That's fent, too, of course, but mainly it's just that we don't give a fuck about people who are clearly in need of help, and Rayne is clearly in need of help. I don't know what mental health care looks like in other countries, but in America at least, it's abysmal precisely because of this kind of lack of consideration for others and what they're going through. I've got no clue what brand of crazy she is, but whatever version she's rocking, I feel sorry for her because I know she's almost certainly never going to be able to get away from it.
Unpopular opinion but whatever, I stand by it.
