“Aren’t you supposed to be escorting someone tonight?”
“Yeah, you..to your table.”
Like Daniel does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to nobody, was one of the biggest supporters of HC and getting it on air, serves content with the hangout podcasts and serves us with GREAT acting on the show and yet, he’s one of the ones that gets the most hate and you have people within the fandom (apparently black people from certain groups in the fandom) comparing him to literal RODENTS AND ANIMALS and saying all types of nasty and colorist comments towards him and barely ANYONE comes to his defense like wtf is that ? Like you have people saying “it’s FICTIONAL TV” when they were defending Michael today, but those same people are the ones that be doing this over stuff that Daniel’s character did, and this message also goes for Bre Z/Coop and Geffri/Simone as they also face the most hate and a lot of it be colorist hate as well and this whole issue within the fandom is just GROSS, especially for since these are black shows.
And then you have Liv, who from people who preach so much about mental health and act like they care so much about it, are the same people who uses her addiction against and makes such nasty comments about addiction as if that’s not a mental illness itself and do the same towards Layla and use her depression against her so you have people being hypocrites towards the both of them, and then with the DISGUSTING slut shaming of both women but don’t say anything about Jordan and how he’s the biggest whore on the show (and yeah it’s fictional, but you’re still speaking on women and slut shaming them and if you’re doing this towards fictional characters, then you probably do it in real life as well and it’s not right either way) and the misogynistic writing in the show doesn’t help with this issue either like just saying now: “defending” one character from slut shaming by bringing up another character, setting them up to be possibly shamed isn’t the move you think it is and is only adding to the present issue when you should be saying how neither girl should be shamed as a women can do whatever she wants with her own body and encouraging that message and you can do this without bringing up someone else.
With all of this, if I was Daniel, Sam or Greta or tbh anyone from the cast, I wouldn’t want to interact with the fandom either and wouldn’t wanna give out any content and no matter which certain groups of the fandom people wanna blame, it’s literally all sides of the fandom that be making this fandom as toxic as it is and all sides should do and be better.
while we’re talking about the writing, can we also point out the misogyny in the writing and how the writers constantly write from a masculine/misogynistic point of view cause I’m SO READY for that conversation.
why do they make it so that the WOMEN can’t have both their career and their relationship like why do they use their career as a way for unnecessary drama and strife and have the men be able to have it all ?? They’re forcing this drama with Olivia’s job when her job and Spencer’s job doesn’t even run in the same circles and they never said anything about her wanting to do sports journalism. They’re taking something that she loves and is passionate about and is ruining it for the sake of relationship drama and at the end, she may even resent it. Then, they tried to do it with Simone when she was focused on her tennis and had her miss her prom for tennis and her “punishment” was Jordan connecting with Layla ?? And then people was hating on Simone for that women shouldn’t have to sacrifice anything for their career or their relationship like why can’t you write in the women having both ?? Why not have the conflict be mutual cause football isn’t all dreams and unicorns like if they wanted to use careers to cause trouble, why not include Spencer’s as well like as more popular as he gotten, the worse it gets like with groupies and shady deals, etc. ?? Why only put it on one person and they lowkey did the same with Simone ?? Cause they did all of this with her tennis only for her to not make the top 6 and then only be in there cause Thea can’t do it. I don’t understand how NK, a woman, is okay with setting up the women like this and making it seem like they can’t have both their career and their relationship like why can’t they be career-driven and have the relationship they want like why does it always have to be a sacrifice while for the men, they’re able to have everything they want and be successful in it ?
then, they only bring up the “pass around” type comments when it has to deal with the girls. They have done it with Liv and then they have Layla bring it up, but say nothing about Jordan and he has the biggest body count on the show. It’s like they always bring the “shame” back to the girls in some type of way and it’s not right and it only sets up for the audience to slut shame them and none of them should be slut-shamed like the amount of slut shaming I’ve seen for both Liv and Layla is DISGUSTING and the show doesn’t help at all with that and I don’t understand why and I’m sure there’s other examples to point out.
bottom line is that they need to treat their women characters so much better than they do cause they deserve better and the constant setting them up has gotta stop like it’s ridiculous and the writers room can benefit from having more young women writers in the room cause I feel like you can tell that mostly men write this show.
