Someone just called out Big Ed for trying to change 90 Day Fiance MVP Rose way too much in the guise of some kind of help. Well, by now, you’re no stranger towards the hate Ed has collected shortly after he came to the Philippines to meet his online girlfriend Rosemarie in person. But this time, a fan has accused Ed of practicing ‘White Saviorism’ against Rose. Let’s take a look at what the fan exactly implied in detail.
How Ed Falls Under Teh Category of ‘White Saviorism’ Practitioners
Basically, ‘White Saviorism’ refers to Americans or people from western countries going to third-world countries to ‘help.’ But in return, they don’t provide the other party any kind of aid. Tp make matters worse, they end up humiliating the other person even passively. Sounds familiar? Most fans can totally relate the meaning of this phare to Rose and Ed’s situation.
Most fans claim that as the current season of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days progressed, Ed took a turn for the worse in terms of general behavior towards his girlfriend. Since the day he got there, he had been complaining about Rose’s surroundings. Moreover, he even tried to impose the American beauty standards on her.
As we all clearly remember, Ed wouldn’t let go unless he made Rose shave her legs only to appear more attractive to him. He also embarrassed her by gifting her a toothbrush and a mouthwash. Even though she told him that she had an ulcer in her stomach, he didn’t pay much heed to it. Fans took offense to the fact that since he had more money and was American, he was exercising control over Rose.
90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days; Ed Keeping Rose In The Dark For Not Wanting Children
For a long time, Ed kept Rose in the dark and didn’t come clean with her on the baby thing. It turns out that he kept the fact that he didn’t want kids to himself. A Redditor pointed out that many Americans go to impoverished countries and act like they are doing them a favor by paining schools and feeding orphans. According to the user, it only makes them feel good but doesn’t help the communities as much as they think.
The Redditor also pointed out that the Americans feel like the people they are helping should feel grateful and justified for anything they have to offer. According to the 90 Day Fiance fan, they treat people like objects only to add to their social media, in the process, forgetting about human decency.
The Redditor made the analogy to Ed who thought that by giving Rose something, he could have an upper hand.
