I never said he should be corrupted - there's a difference between being an innocent, pure of heart person and having people treat you like a toddler. There are plenty of idealistic, innocent and kind people in the world, and they are all perfectly capable of functioning as and being treated like mature, capable adults. That is what adults deserve to be respected as. It wasn't so much a criticism of Ben as it was of everybody around him.
I find it very disturbing the way people treat Ben like a toddler and talk down to him as if he is incapable of functioning as an adult in the real world. It is incredibly restrictive to have everybody look down on him like a child and it's preventing him from reaching his full potential. He couldn't even cook his own vegetarian meals before he entered the house. Typical twitter comments like "Awww, Ben is so cute! How could anybody nominate him? *squeeee* ^_^" are just bizarre and disrespectful. He is a grown man, somebody to be respected and treated as an independent adult, not coddled and adored as if he were a baby. People treat him like he is incapable of handling adult emotions or situations, but I think that people treating him as such is the only thing standing in his way of doing so. I know that Ben wants what any person wants from life - love, happiness and success - but it makes it a lot harder to achieve that if everybody around you thinks you're mentally and emotionally incapable. People need to give him that chance.
