Has anyone in the UK seen the show 'Undateables'? I haven't, but from what I've seen I 'm still leaning toward the POV that it's voyeuristic and portraying the misinformed public opinion that disabled people are less than in the world of romance. One thing I do see is that it is in the spot light and people are now talking about it. That means that the general public is having to think about the generally accepted stereotype that people with disabilities are somehow not meant for love, relationships, and sex. We can and we are, and do do those things. People most often hate, or repel what they don't understand. I am hoping this show can help everyday people empathize with disabled people in the way that they see they're not so different after all. It won't seem so odd anymore, thus removing some stigma. Getting a discussion going, exchanging opinions and getting people really thinking can all be good things. Humiliating vulnerable people that just want love is a where I'd see the show possibly being negative.
What's your opinion of the program?
