I would hardly think it is fair to label these people as "freaks" :|

I didn't label them as freaks, my point was that these people(excluding albinos & blind people) are extremes of society. These people aren't the types you see everyday in the street(unless they're your neighbours) I think big brother should include a variety of characters(normal and crazy alike), every series there has always included an OTT gay man, it's leading people to stereotype all gay people as being camp, frilly girly girls.

Nevermind

Uhhh cross-dressing isn't that unusual you know.

Also, this has to be the most ridiculous statement in the entire world:
"it's leading people to stereotype all gay people as being camp, frilly girly girls."

If ANYONE uses BB as some sort of 'life guide to people' then they are idiots.

Also, who are you to say that, where is your evidence that its leading people to stereotype?? Hmm, hmm? EH?!

I know cross-dressing isn't unusual, one of my best friends is a cross dresser.
Believe it or not we live in a very superficial world, the majority of the population judge people regarding on what the see, hence stereotype. They are unfortunately some very stupid people out there who stereotype all gay people are camp men & generalise cross dressers as gay, a stereotype in which my friend isn't very happy about.
My evidence? That unfortunately lies next door with my extremely homophobic, ignorant, narrow-minded neightbours who are the biggest stereotypers out there, and unless you're willing to come to Manchester I'm afraid I can't prove solid evidence.

Im a cross dresser and I dont live in a superficial world

A) I didn't say people don't stereotype, I said BB doesn't create stereotypes.

B) Wow, your neighbours! God, wow.

I actually find what you said very offensive about the "freak show", so I think we should just leave this here, or the mods will just delete the thread.

Everything creates stereotypes these days, the biggest creater of stereotypes? The media.

Yes my neighbours, spawned from the firey depths of hell. They're very old so they've not quite stepped into the 21st century yet.

Sorry for offending by the way, not intentional but that's just my opinion of big brother. You seem like a fan so it's pointless to aruge over such matters.

LMAO, oooh a nice bit of agism there, you must have been watching BB lately

hehe

ROFL nice bit of irony for you there.
But yeah I've lived next door for them long enough to know, they're the type that look down their nose at you if you wear a skirt shorter than your ankles.
not saying all old people are like that though

They make skirts longer than your ankles

ya

Blimy!

I thought knee length was long
