Too Much Reality

I am all for the advancements in media in terms of freedom and diversity. However, watching someone at the gynecologist is something that may be taking it to far. Watching a fictional film allows people to separate real from pretend. Seeing someone having sex on TV isn’t too bad because we know it’s for the sake of the program. Watching a man hit his wife on Lifetime isn’t scary because we know they’re acting. We now can watch a reality show and actually see a gynecologist give an examination on a woman as the entire procedure takes place. Although I’m not offended or disturbed by seeing this take place, it just seems out of place. I understand that this specific scene relating to infertility allows for viewers going through the same to relate. This puts Khloe in a realer light to the audience and her fans. It could have been reduced to the simple screen shot of Khloe changing into a hospital gown, and then a conversation with the doctor. We do not have to watch the actual procedure in full length. To the contrary, this helps the genre of reality live up to its entirety. So many people complain about reality shows being fake, but there’s nothing fake about this ‘gyno’ visit.
