‘Squid Game: The Challenge’: Internet blames Player 065 Dylan Scanlon's ‘misogyny’ for Aurora Victoria’s elimination

Player 065 was accused of playing up the microaggressions against Player 399 to get his way

LONON, UNITED KINGDOM: 'Squid Game: The Challenge' fans are in an uproar over Player 065, branding him as the "real villain" of the show and accused him of being misogynistic.

In the latest episodes that aired on November 29, a tense game of Marbles unfolded, resulting in the elimination of half the remaining players.

Player 399, Aurora Victoria, proposed a strategy game, but Player 065, Dylan Scanlon, insisted on a throwing game, adamantly rejecting any compromise or consideration of her perspective.

The controversy escalated as Player 065 displayed a dismissive and misogynistic attitude towards Player 399. He refused to acknowledge her reasoning, making condescending remarks like "You're a woman, you should be good at throwing" and accused her of acting like a child.

The Internet found this behavior extremely misogynistic and highlighted how he played up the microaggressions against Player 399 to get his way.

Fans blame Player 065 not only for the contentious elimination but also for the inability to reach a common ground, resulting in the removal of both players from the game.

The incident has sparked heated discussions about gender dynamics and sportsmanship within the context of the show.

"Player 065 is a loser and stubborn. Should have been gone with the shapes,"

"did y’all catch that microaggression player 065@DylanScanlon_

The two contestants spent a significant amount of time engaged in arguments, unable to reach a common decision.

When they eventually resorted to playing rock-paper-scissors, the outcome was a tie. Consequently, both participants were eliminated from the game.

Their failure to find common ground and the prolonged argument ultimately led to their eviction.

Who are the top 3 finalists of ‘Squid Game The Challenge’?

Mai, Phill, and Sam emerged as the top three finalists after successfully navigating the Circle of Trust challenge.

In this crucial phase, the trio demonstrated trustworthiness and strategic prowess, securing their positions for the final showdown.

As the competition intensified, Mai faced a delicate situation. To maintain trust with both Phill and Sam, she opted to deceive them about the identity of the contestant she had sent home.

This calculated move was driven by her desire to avoid sowing seeds of distrust between her and the other finalists as they approached the finale.

Is ‘Squid Game The Challenge’ scripted?

Executive producers Stephen Lambert, Stephen Yemoh, John Hay, and Toni Ireland have shed light on the delicate balance between reality and staged scenes in 'Squid Game: The Challenge'.

In an open discussion with The Hollywood Reporter (THR), Lambert addresses the audience's anticipation for the show to emulate scripted dramas.

He justifies the incorporation of "fake" scenes as a deliberate choice to amplify the immersive experience for contestants.

The Challenge, being a reality show featuring ordinary individuals, stands as a non-lethal and considerably milder counterpart to the OG 'Squid Game' show that inspired it.

Instead of real blood, the production uses black ink, and talking-head interviews are utilized in lieu of scripted dialogue.

This intentional blend seeks to deliver a captivating and dramatic experience while ensuring the safety and well-being of the participants.
