Jaron Seth Bloshinsky / Jazz Jennings / I Am Jazz - Puberty Blockers: Not Even Once

Nobody wants to watch a depressed teen eating his feelings and coping badly with not having a penis. People will be bored very quickly.

You know what could boost the ratings? If he either decides to detransition or kills himself.
if jazz becomes super morbidly obese people will watch, just like they do for all the other fat people themed shows. I guess it is a matter of how fat jazz gets, and how quickly it happens, vs the season schedules. They might do the thing where the show is cancelled but update specials take place periodically, I believe that TLC did that with the duggars.

If he kills himself there's nothing to have a show about any more.

They can have a crossover with My 600 Pound Life. My 600 Pound No Cock Life. He can eat himself to death when he realizes his insane parents had him castrated and he'll never have a sex life.
 
Obesity in and of itself is not particularly interesting and it teeters into the zone of tragic when the subject is deformed or mutilated in some way, and is living largely in the defensive. On average Americans are overweight as it is, so something outrageous has to happen, in order for the audience to microwave their second bag of Orville Reddenbachers buttery popcorn, and stay tuned.

As far as lulzy obesity, it is when the subject goes on the offensive.
 
Jazz becoming obese will only further cause his physical appearance to reach male eunuch status. I've seen so many images of castratos that look like weird bald egg people. Why none of the idiots responsible for Jazz didn't do a basic google search on this is beyond me. I hope someone as shallow and looks-obsessed as Jeanette is prepared for the fact that she is responsible for physically deforming her own child.
 
One prominent feature of Castratos was their disproportionally long arms and legs. Like, freakish spider arms and legs. Men also age differently from women, often losing their baby fat and angling out their features during their 20s, so if Jazz thinks their looks are going to improve as they get older, they may be disappointed. It's very telling that the most successful transsexual (in terms of convincingly transforming) to ever live was Bond Girl Caroline Cossey, who had a variant of Klinefelter's Syndrome with three X Chromosomes (one more than the average womans).
 
The answer lies solely in viewer ratings, and metrics that determine who is watching the show, and where, and for how long. Demographics can be determined by the concentration of viewers in particular areas.

So if suburban America changes the channel 15 minutes in, show needs to take a different direction, or the network will quickly pull the trigger.
Reality shows are very cheap to produce compared to scripted content.

Also I get the impression, that the producers seem to be surreptitiously catering to the more critical viewers ( a viewer is a viewer). While I'm sure they're being completely supportive of Jazz they're showing plenty of footage which a sceptical( ie sane) person would find worrying.
 
As Tatty mentioned above, if Jazz necks himself the producers will have some extra fabric to cut. They can follow the family and "fans" in their mourning and the subsequent activism that may come from it. Imagine 40 minutes of long, insincere monologues about how great Jazz was and how much of a martyr he was and how cruel and transphobic society is, which is why we need a change overnight and whogivesafuck.
 
If Jazz killed himself, it would be fascinating to see the reaction of the family. Obviously, they’d be mourning, but I would also look out for:

- His mother fake-crying for the camera if real tears weren’t on cue at the moment
- His mother talking over everyone else in a desperate need to control the narrative bc she knows this is her fault
- Which family members are even willing to be on camera and which said “enough”
- Any signs of relief, especially from his sister, even if it’s too taboo to admit
- His dad either snapping, or becoming a complete husk & rolling away like a tumbleweed
- Speaking of rolling away: divorce
 
I don't think we should drool over media entertainment in the event Jazz kills himself. As much as I'd like to see Greg and Jeanette suffer for how much they've psychologically fucked up their kid, I don't want Jazz to die nor do I want his suffering being exploited to the world. The death of any child, even a stunted young adult like Jazz, is tragic and this should not be excluded. Jazz is just a poor kid that didn't deserve this lot in life.
Do I think Jazz will kill himself? There's a huge chance he will. But I dearly don't want to see it happen nor do I enjoy the idea of Jazz's death being circulated via shitty reality television.
 
I definitely don't want that to happen either, but if it happens, they will exploit it and there is not much we can do about it.

SJWs and woke people have a very morbid desire of seeing things like this. Like the Handmaid's Tale. They are happy watching a show that says how everything is bad for women so they can have their fears validated and then go out and do their ridiculous cosplays. Of course they would watch a tv show about Jazz' death, same reason.

She may have had a Y chromosome but she had three Xes which is 150% as many as an actual woman.

Please. Practically this entire thread is pro-Jazz-getting-the-fuck-away-from-this-bullshit. I don’t think anyone here is “drooling” over the possibility of this kids suicide. My commentary is meant as a condemnation of his shitty family and the unethical tools at TLC, and how his death would surely only be further exploitation fodder.

ETA: Since we are in a kiwifarms thread about a toxic family and their insufferable quiltbag kid on a reality TV show, I’m going to go ahead and wonder what may come of it if that’s okay:

Which will be the biggest manufactured nothingburger of the season:
- Amir...just, Amir
- The drag show “disaster”
- Fussing over college

And what will be the worst thing happening that will be weirdly glossed over as though it’s fine:
- The apparent eating disorder
- The lack of romantic/sexual anything
- The general inability to cope with life

I seriously don’t understand how anyone can actually watch this all unfold as presented by TLC. :(

He ain't gonna die, as long as he has a purpose and a niche in this world. As long as the show is running, Jazz has a purpose, and he is young enough to hope and dream his way thru life's crappiness like the rest of us did at 19. Barring natural causes, of course.

What if he has a raging temper tantrum and hurls himself off a high structure? Could happen. But he would have to be alone in order to do so. Suicide in general takes planning and access to a means. Do the Bloshinskys have a thick rope or a loaded firearm on hand? A bottle of fentanyl? Box cutters and loose blades?

If the family unit spends their time in a protected enclave, begrudgingly discussing a failed vagina, I would venture to guess that even obtaining a firearm would be out of their and Jazz's orbit. Sort of like having a pet goat and a chicken in the back yard. Yes it is possible, but that isn't their lifestyle.

Who knows? I am just speculating. All of this becomes more of a posibility if Jazz becomes bored and idle and begins to despair. If s/he effectively becomes abandoned and develops a social network of her own, which might include unsavory elements, all kinds of things can happen.

I am skeptical that this person would pop themself while the show is running. It also doesn't follow the typical pattern, which is to end it all after a chain of defeat and bad luck and no hope.

More and more trans suicide stories in recent years involve kids who had nothing but acceptance and love from everyone around them. In some ways, I think it drives them to despair when these traumatized, messed-up kids announce to family and friends that they hate their body so much and want to be a whole new person, and the response of everyone around them is "sure, sounds good, that other guy is DEAD now, you're someone totally new to us."

It'd be like if a wife said to her husband, "I'm worried I'm getting fat, I need to change my body" and he said, "I completely support your assessment of where your body is and needs to be, I'm here for you, I'll pay $25,000 for all the liposuction and other procedures you'd need to look the way you know you're supposed to look."

I don't think most women would feel reassured by that. I think they'd feel dismal and wish he'd either said something kind (even if insincere), or given a solution that was way less drastic like a diet or exercise. Sometimes the thing someone asks for, especially when it's a kid or teenager with poor communication skills, isn't at all what they actually want.

Someone like Jazz might have needed someone to tell him at the right time that his body really is him, that it's something to cherish and work with as it is, even if you pine for things that might have been a bit different. Function over form, all that. Or to be told that having feelings like you hate your body means maybe you could use some therapy to help you understand the changes you're going through.
