that's a beautiful thing to do

everywhere i look people are cheering her being used and discarded by him and the rest of the men on this show. all of the dog whistles used to describe her and why she deserves this treatment, despite show!cameron not even really being the book!cameron character. show!cameron is vulnerable and is clearly looking for those genuine connections and attachments. she's strong and driven and she's capable of cutting down if necessary. but, she's not really cold or cruel like her counterpart is.

and the racism she receives from these people, so they can cheer on his constant emotional cheating, is not even vaguely subtle.

it's not awesome that she's just been deceived this whole relationship. that she is asked, without any prompting, to move into a man's home, while he actively spends his time thinking about someone else. that he sleeps next to her, and sleeps with her, and plays this part to her face, while he has a drawer next to their bed full of mementos from another women. there were other ways to help her that didn't include pretending to want to be with her.

it's not romantic towards taggie that he puts cameron down (who does nothing to deserve it) to uplift taggie's "purity" and her "motherly nature." that he scoffs at cameron's lack of ability to present as a mother figure, despite her actively trying with his children, while he just stands there and watches them reem her. god forbid she makes them breakfast, what a monster. it's not romantic watching him immediately start flirting with with taggie, while cameron is left to just sit and watch it happen, because he fully does not care enough about her to at least not do so in front of her face.
