Social media users have lots to say about the couple’s conversations. Human rights lawyer Kristen Zeta said she didn’t expect to witness such a deep conversation on Love Is Blind.

“Who would have thought the most nuanced conversation on American imperialism and militarism on tv today would be on Love is Blind,” she wrote on Threads.

Comments on Zeta’s post also continued the dialogue.

One person wrote, “I love that they showed this at length its an important conversation! Exactly why im not walking around thanking the troops for their service , personally.”

“Both brought up very valid points,” commented someone else. “I do think he was being hypocritical though because he lives and pays taxes in the same country that she was once fighting to protect.”

“I loved the nuance and perspective here, but this is where Ramses started to fade for me,” commented another person. “He couldn’t acknowledge that soldiers and their reasons for conscribing individually are too complex to just flatly label all of them oppressive and morally bankrupt, even if the machine they’re part of really is exactly that. And then after all his moral/ethical posturing, his aversion to toxic masculinity, etc., his fiancée says “I don’t want to go on birth control” and his entire facade just crumbles.”

Other comments on Twitter include:

Many people have opinions on Ramses and Marissa talking about being in the military, and their stance, but if anything, it’s an important conversation that many of the couples should be having. #LoveIsBlind

Ramses & Marissa are having some serious important conversation that I did not think would be uncensored. Interesting Netflix .

I LOVE the critiques and convos from Ramses of imperialism, military, and religion. I even value the space Marissa (even tho I don’t like her) is in to question her choices, decisions, etc., and be open to conversation as she develops.

Per Blavity’s Shadow and Act, the other couples on Season 7 of Love Is Blind discussed how their upbringings have impacted them. Ashley Adionser, who is engaged Tyler Francis at this point in the show, talked about how she remains confident in herself despite seeing how Black women are often scrutinized harshly on reality TV.

“I definitely would say that the phrase, ‘Don’t be the angry Black woman,’ did cross my mind once or twice,” she said on the show. “Not that I am that way, but we do tend to get the persona that if you do react out of irritation or anger. So, I did try to keep my emotions to a certain level at certain times. However, you do have to show up as you, and you’ve got to take up the space, and you’ve to take up the room no matter what or where you are. After a while, once I got pretty comfortable, that wasn’t really a factor.”

Tyler also talked about how he had to learn that it was OK to be vulnerable.

“I didn’t grow up being vulnerable,” he said. “It was, ‘Men don’t cry,’ ‘Toughen it up.’ But then, I was put into an environment where 15 other men are opening up and telling me it’s OK to open. It was new for me, and every woman I talked to would say, ‘Hey, it’s OK.’ [I opened] up and [found] out that, it’s OK to express your emotions…no one’s judging you…they’re not calling you less of a man for it. And our relationship, it did change to where it’s like you can communicate about anything. You can express your feelings as a man and a woman’s not going to bash you for it. It was very comforting. It felt safe.”

As Blavity’s Shadow and Act reported, Netflix promised that Season 7 would take viewers through an unexpected journey.

“This season, the singles form deep and immediate connections, setting the stage for an unexpected journey full of twists, turns, and shocking revelations that will test each relationship well after the participants leave the pods for the real world,” the show’s synopsis stated.
