Pretty much, yes. Whenever an article pops up on my MSN news feed about that program I go straight to the comments and the people commenting parrot off the same sort of talking points the program is against. I’m almost certain they’ve never actually watched it.

Go poke your head into r/mensrights or similar. Basically everyone complaining that the show is going to get them cancelled or that the show misrepresented them or similar. It’s pretty rare to see any comments suggesting the show is provoking introspection. Instead it is defend and attack.

Oh god, no. I’m not going back to Reddit, let alone a subreddit like that.
The lack of introspection doesn’t come as a surprise, that would also require self-awareness.
