I mean its great in a way that turbonormies haven't found out about it yet. That 15k viewer count is a blessing in disguise.Fishtank going mainstream would only harm the show. I can only imagine what internet lefties would try and do if they discovered Sam Hyde the evil Neo-Nazi was hosting a show where he was tormenting a gay schizophrenic black man. In a way the media blackout around the show (seriously go look up on google "fishtank news article" you won't find shit aside from one article from Mauro's hoemtown from season 1) is a blessing.
I will say though that on this season I have seen far more "normie" like people commenting on the show and Jet is kind of trying to make that happen by getting people to use hashtags associated with big brother.
In regards to the schizonigger (the gay schizophrenic black man) I am totally divided. He hasn't been physical at all that I've seen and production has tried to make sure he gets sleep and mostly sends him on what seem like fairly harmless wild goose chases. People want "inclusivity" and "authenticity" yet I'm certain that no mainstream reality TV show would have someone like Burt on - it's like the midgets/dwarves in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Some people have a real problem with the idea of "exploiting" people with dwarfism but I guess they also don't want to make them visible to society or some bullshit like that.
I will say that I have learned quite a bit about schizophrenia by seeing Burt on this show and I don't think I would be alone in saying that I have quite some empathy for him - plus he is more than standing his own ground in this show. He's pretty awesome.
