[@serenamcleish2343]

Mmmmm while the 'pirate' game does sound alarming, I don't think its as bad as we think it is since Jade knows about it as well and I feel like if Robbie had done something really bad Jade would have been angrier with him so he was probably just being kind of weird and Cat didn't like it but that's just my thoughts lol

[@thatoneperson8593]

That’s a valid argument. I might just be projecting onto the character, but maybe she downplayed it? Or maybe she begged Jade not to get mad or get him in trouble? I know that that’s what I’ve done when things like that happen to me. It feels less scary to just ignore the problem and not involve any authority figures or anything. But, once again, self-projection can be common with fictional characters that we relate to/liken ourselves to, so this might just be me projecting.

[@El-jf8fz]

I thought about the sexual component too but I honestly feel like it's more likely that he just played (literally played the game) too rough, and scared her. And I also think that while there are a lot of double antandres (cannot spell) the thing about "I don't want to see that thing again" was not sexual. Man probbakt has a dead beetle collection or something.

But remember, what if Cat told Jade what happened and she already severely injured him in the past. This can also explain why she's always disgusted and rude to him now. Someone made a good point about her downplaying it

[@beesknees2594]

I find it kinda odd how Robbie being genuinely creepy around his female cohorts is played up for laughs. Despite that, I found their interactions very cute. Robbie always seemed affectionate towards Cat specifically, and if he had more character development they'd be one of the best couples in the show.

[@eph_loves_80s74]

I can admit Robbie can come off a social awkward even though I love him, I don’t think he knows how to express or confess to females despite becoming more confident later on

[@t1redart1st61]

He's definitely creepy towards her, and I think they played it for laughs because of Dan Schneider, considering the truly disgusting and traumatizing things he did, he probably made it like that so we wouldn't notice the nastiness of it.

[@amirulzain]

I also feel like the oddly placed laugh tracks are deliberate. It's the show trying to be self-aware and saying "hey, this is written to be funny, and here's a laugh track. We know you are not laughing along, let's ask ourselves why?" I"ve always felt like Victorious is meant to be social satire of growing up and high school and by extension, celebrity culture and how it warps the way teenagers think and feel. Maybe I'm going to deep, but as someone who has a degree in film, I've always believed that creators can do whatever they want, and it is us, the audience, and the way we choose to react to a piece of work, that shows us who we truly are as people.

[@sungod1384]

It really sucks that a lot of shows try to teach little boys that that’s okay, and an acceptable way to get what you want.

[@julianbigelow2794]

Valerie Abena. That is true. Not only does it send the wrong message, there is kind of a double standard. When a man is relentless in pursuing a woman, it is portrayed as comically pathetic and even endearing. When a woman is relentless in pursuing a man, she is portrayed as not right in the head. That woman is usually hated by everyone. Since the woman, who relentlessly pursues a man is usually ugly, her actions are usually played for gross out humor. I call this trope the Abhorrent admirer.

I always thought it would have been nice if, at the end of the show, Trina discovered that she's not talented and had to learn to accept that and grow from that. I also thought it would have been nice to see certain characters get together. For example, I also like the idea of Jade and Andre and wish the show went somewhere with the Andre-has-a-crush-on-Jade plot. ;) It would have been cute if there was a scene where Andre sings the original version of "365 Days" (i.e. the version in which he sings "Jade" instead of "Baby") and Jade chimes in mid-song, singing Tori's parts.

However, when they made that deal, Sikowitz cited an exception for anything dangerous or illegal. I suppose one alternative explanation could be that they were afraid the thugs might hurt them (i.e. physically assault them).

First comment right here

[@xeoney]

If Robbie was less creepy and perverted, or if he worked on those to better himself, they would've been great together. Though, he's obviously done something to upset Cat enough for her to hate "playing pirates" with him, which creeps me out a lot. Taking that into consideration, I don't think they'd be a healthy couple if Robbie continued to act like that and upset Cat a lot.

[@eph_loves_80s74]

He has a hard time communicating with females properly.

I love how gracefully she picked up the chair before violently throwing and destroying it.

[@g.b569]

Arianna and Matt Bennett do have great chemistry and it’s nice that their real life friendship continued after the show since she had him in her One Last Time and Thank U Next music videos

[@jeannarox]

It deeply disturbs me how Cats voice progressively became more infantilized as the series went on. In the beginning of the first season she sounds normal but for the rest... it bad

[@elipeeli]

i would love to change the script where it's less creepy and Robbie is simply a white knight

[@AuggsieBoggs]

The show's infantilisation of cat paired with robbie's predatory comments and innapropriateness leaves me with a really gross feeling... Their dynamic is far more reminiscent of a child and their abuser than two teenagers romantically interested in eachother. Most of my observations have been covered in the comments, but i would like to draw attention specifically to the fact that cat's refusal of her feelings for him could (with the 'pirate' thing's hints at sexual assault) be because part of her feels like that means she must have liked what he did to her- and thus, she can't have feelings for him because that would invalidate her trauma. It is a very common response in survivors of sexual assault or abuse to develop feelings, especially in one where the assaulter in question is so affectionate and their age. They justify the event and trick themselves into believing it was something they should be happy about, convincing themselves that they are the ungrateful ones. Robbie's behaviour and overt favouritsm of cat, as much as it may be genuine from his point of view, is a method of grooming and attempting to coerse her into positive feelings of him. Showering people in gifts and compliments is often a response to guilt from the assaulter. They justify it to themselves as well, telling themselves theyre making up for it, or that their victim actually wanted it and is just shy. It is extemely unhealthy, and honestly speaks volumes about dan schnider if we didnt already know, since he doubtlessly pulls from his own experiences for robbie. Robbie doesnt *care* if cat is uncomfortable. Or that she flat out rejects him so often. If anything, it wouldnt surprise me if he believes she belongs to him in some way when you consider how he has responded to romantic encounters previously. The idea of the only girl he has sexually advanced with, would create the kind of obsession we see he has with cat throughout the show. Which...explains even more in regards to smaller details, like how he brought cat to meet his grandmother in a way that he would most likely believe is very romantic and generous of him. He is honestly a disgusting character, and if it weren't unintentional, i would commend the accuracy to real life sexually abusive situations. Unfortunately, the most accurate reflections of the darker side of humanity often come from perpetrators themselves.

[@LeslieFlemons]

There's this one channel that talked about Robbie specifically saying that he and Rex are the same person, which might make sense, but at the same time, it doesn't seem possible. The two are so different from each other. When they're alone, it feels like Robbie is talking to a real person. But, even though Robbie always seems like an innocent guy, he could be a real monster on the inside. Maybe Rex is that monster.

[@j-money1354]

Lmfao that's crazy.. scared of Rex now 😂😂😂

[@SunWarrior155]

Cat and Robbie both have their own issues to deal with. Putting those two together would be unhealthy for either one of them, for Cat in particular. A romantic relationship between them would be toxic...

[@aja6724]

Just want to put my 2 cents In here: I believe that Rex was entirely behind the whole pirate thing. I know Robbie controls Rex, but I think Rex is just how Robbie communicates things he can’t implement elsewhere. If anything happened with pirates and Cat, I believe it started with Robbie being Rex. With that being said, I also don’t think the pirate thing was anything major. If it was, I doubt Jade, beck, or Andre would let Robbie near Cat again. I’m guessing Cat just didn’t like how Robbie played pirates, simple as that.

[@angel-ve6mt]

i’m hoping it’s that otherwise my childhood is gonna be a lot darker than i remember

[@kassandraconk1763]

While I agree with most of this, I don't think the pirate thing was anything sexual, Jade knew about it and she's very protective of Cat, if it would've been anything bad she wouldn't have let it pass...

[@0-springytears-0]

Knowing jade, She would probably torment Robbie until death if he did touch cat inappropriately.

I have a video idea for you! You briefly mentioned in your seddie video the relationship between freddie and his mom and how it shaped his personality, but perhaps you could do a further analysis on her. Do you think ms benson is too overprotective/a helicopter parent, is she acting as a normal concerned mother who means well or is she bordering toxic behavior by trying to control so much of his life.

I feel like Jori and Cabbie are the most complicated ships from the show but Jori is less problematic in a way. I was a big Cabbie fan untill I watched hariyanna's hook opinion vid about Robbie and I realised how creepy he really is so I have mixed feelings about the ship now. If it wasn't for that pirates thing I would be 100% for this ship. I found the I think you are swell scene and when he told Cat that any guy would be lucky to go out with her relatable to myself and my experience with feelings so ye. That scenes were adorable but is a complicated relationship in more than one way.

[@gameplayezssoiinnychgier300]

Can we talk about Cat's Inconsistent feats of strength? Like one minute she's about to break a chair pretty easily just by chucking it at a wall. Then the next she's unable to take a Teddy bear from a 10 year old. And then she's able to take down the flower bomber

[@thatoneperson8593]

I hope that you’re right, but even so, it is still kind of a red flag that both she and Jade have made it abundantly clear that she doesn’t like to play pirates with him because it’s upsetting, and yet he still carries on offering to play pirates again, even going so far as to get and eyepatch for it. I don’t know, though, it just is kind of off-putting that he wouldn’t respect her enough to not do something that upsets her so much, you know?

I think he had most character development. He was so weird when it came to love, sometimes the interactions felt more like assault. But it seems like he changed and now isn’t that bad although he still isn’t perfect when it comes to love, but I think it’s because he doesn’t really have a proper example, since his parents are hardly mentioned and his mom refuses to even live with him

[@sethyy]

The fact that she said "No i don't wanna see put that away" this is so dirty

[@FrozenUSA]

I would like to say that Robbie matured over the course of the series and his feelings for Cat were definitely real. No one writes a song like “I Think You’re Swell” without having serious feelings for someone. I think that it’s really Cat that can’t bring herself to admit her feelings to Robbie. I agree with the other person who posted below that her brother may have a lot to do with how Cat approaches relationships with other people. Based on what Car tells us about her brother, he has serious mental issues and is eventually taken by her parents to an inpatient treatment facility in another state. This would have been a good place for Cat to start on her journey to moving past whatever abuse she suffered by her brother. She seems to have a need for others to like her no matter what the cost as shown in “The Blonde Squad” when she kept up the facade of being a blonde even after finding out the guy she liked didn’t like people who pretend to be something they aren’t. Even after Robbie pours his heart out to her by singing his song she is still desperate for the other guy to like her and muses about maybe dying her hair blonde. This is after it is very clear the guy doesn’t want anything to do with her. I think that if Cat and Robbie did start dating, they would need to have a serious conversation about boundaries. I think Robbie likes Cat so much he would take the relationship at whatever pace felt right for Cat. She would have to tell him many more details about her relationship with her brother and how that factors into how she is thinking about dating him. Robbie is a patient guy, sometimes to a fault. He knows Cat is worth waiting for. Cat would definitely need some serious therapy to help her deal with her family life and perhaps by working through those issues, it would help her come to terms with her feelings for Robbie. She’s in a very conflicted place by the end of the series. As stated in this video, Cat isn’t sure she’s ready to date Robbie but doesn’t want him dating anyone else either. However, she does admit to Robbie at the school dance that she was unnecessarily jealous of the fact that he brought another date. She also said she should have just said yes when he asked her to be his date. I would want to see at least one more episode of Victorious for many reasons, but in terms of the content of this video, I would want Cat and Robbie to finally have a serious conversation about the feelings they have for each other and finally agree to start dating.

Honestly I like to think Robbie is just a larper who goes to hardcore when he plays a pirate lmao
