The Real Reason Suddenly Amish Faced Backlash Before Its Premiere

The Amish community does not allow modern equipment. They do not use electricity and have no access to technology or modern comforts such as AC or cars. After the show trailer was announced, fans deemed it fake and exploitative. Suddenly, Amish seems like a refurbished show of Amish life. According to the show, the real reason why Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Amish community welcomes “English” people is because their population is dwindling.

Non-Amish people are termed “English” in the Amish community. The Amish community welcomes English people, hoping they will integrate into Amish life. These individuals, with their own hopes of transformation, join the community. Only time will tell if they are disciplined enough for the Amish life.
