Reality TV has been criticized for its lack of diversity in race, gender expression, sexuality and body type. 'Love Trip: Paris,' by contrast, offers contestants a chance to find love in a structure that embraces the spectrum of gender and sexuality.

"Love Trip: Paris" offers viewers a new take on reality TV.Freeform's new "Love Trip: Paris" does what many other reality dating shows don't.

The four contestants meet and date potential suitors of all genders and sexualities, choosing just a lucky few to take on dates. Seeing queer representation and romance on television in an authentic way is something she said she wishes she could have seen on screen as a young woman. Renner, a nonbinary lesbian, told ABC News that showrunners reached out to her initially to explain the show's diversity goals, with which she was immediately on board. "I was like, 'Yes!' Like, I have been waiting for this moment to see something like this on television," she said.

Reality TV has also been critiqued for failing to create space for people of marginalized groups to thrive. "Love Trip: Paris" executive producer Susan House said that this was one of the showrunners' main priorities.

Criticized by...who exactly? That's right, nobody. Nobody in their right mind watches reality TV for the social justice aspect.

Gross! Sorry

There's nothing 'real' about reality TV! It's all scripted!

pass

No it hasn’t

Nearly every television show today have perverts implanted in them to lower the morals America was built on. They are practically shoving that agenda down the throats of people that are indulged in t.v. It doesn’t take a fact checker to show this article is a flat out lie.

I really dont think the phrase 'lack of diversity' can ever be used again with any real meaning. There isnt a tv show on today that doesnt have a gay person,(usually portrayed as the smartest character), and I havent seen a commercial w/o an interracial couple in years.

Barriers?...nope...given into pressure?...yes! The oppressed once given a voice will eventually force program directors to include them in their programing when their voice is loud enough to pull advertising dollars! Plain & simple. No matter who fought to give them that voice!

Nobody wants your sick LGBT Grooming propaganda!

Everything is about sex and sexual perversion.

Hollywood learn the hard way that people will not pay to see woke ideology in movies, what makes you think they wanna see that on TV? You have to promote what your audience wants, not what social justice says should be.

May break barriers but it sure won't break ratings. StopDividingUs

Said nobody ever

That's not Love... It's sexual perversion.

Lmao, I know of no one that talks about that

More boring TV content.

go woke go broke is real. you can't fight reality forever.

It should be created as a Queer channel to broadcast all this kind of content. It is clearly a niche of at least 5% of the world's population. It is about time to give them their own voices and have special media nly targeted at them! If it will be profitable? Only time ..

Just what audiences are hungering for!

And nobody cares so nobody watches 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not woke enough!

No, we the people have never criticized the lack of diversity in race, gender expression, sexuality and body type. This narrative is being pushed by the MSM 'journalists'

lol how many people watch this show that i’ve never heard of?

I don't like syfy or fantasy movies/shows.

Reality TV has been criticized cuz it sucks, fake and just terrible and no one cares

Let’s be up front with the content of todays shows. Used to be a g rating was safe to show to the family. Nowadays the sexual diversity smut appears without warning. Awful.

Oh jeez… jam this crap down our throats ! Fine to be trans, queer , gay hetero… don’t need to know your sexuality preference … really.

Stop everything ! 3% of population is under represented... 🤦 They sure take on 80% of stupid news tho.

'Reality' tv is everything but reflecting reality. The forced diversity is absurd. What is the target percentage of additional queers (their self-definition) that would satisfy the woke-offs?

Let’s watch some fatties find love

No one wants to see trans, queers or obese people! It’s about pretty people making fools of themselves so already difficult to watch! Put deviants into mix and you get no viewers!

Degeneration.

You know why no one watches your network right?

Thank god

Less than 1% of America cares about this.

And they'll get a small audience

Stop shoving this stuff down our throats

Unless of course we're talking about professional sports where the media cheers on increasingly less diversity for some weird reason.

Literally no one ever said this.

Oh good... said 3% of the population.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Another flop in the making 😂

It's not been criticized for that. Actually many movies and shows have become huge flops for promoting it. And this will be another flop.

You can't be serious. When will this kind of stuff end? So tired of seeing it.
