The internet is clamoring for “Desi Bling” for the ultimate patriarchy
The show offers a glimpse into the lives of celebrity couples, and these glimpses into the world of the elite are being viciously trolled.“I have come to agree that Desi Bling men want their women to be submissive because women are so isolated that there is no support system that they stop. A perfect representation of the patriarchal system in India,” wrote one X netizen.“I feel Desi Bling is a propaganda show funded by society of misogynistic men and spineless women to further their horrible agenda, but I can’t prove it yet,” said another netizen.“Desi Bling men are really horrible, I think only one of them makes sense. Those women married really amazing rich men,” commented one user X, while another wrote: “Desi bling is testing my patience, why are some of these men talking to their wives/girls like that? #DesiBling”Another user called it “so disturbing.” He stated, “Men are traditionally toxic Indian men who are obsessed with money, clothes and partying. Some women are so embedded in this subservient culture that they accept men’s behavior. The girl Iryna married that man Dyuti a poor girl.Moreover, netizens are also comparing it to ‘Dubai Bling’ and say, “Desi Bling men are so bad mannered. I have seen Dubai reality show and I think most of their men act like this. They are not well trained at all.”Another wrote: “So Desi Bling men don’t like responsibilities. Arabs would never 😭 Please bring my Dubai Bling.”Here are some more reactions
