The Worst Kind Of Girl On TV

[@sweetnesstwilight]

How serena blamed the world when she homewrecked 3 times is crazy

[@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi]

Not as crazy as Blair blaming the people she bullied when they rightfully don’t put up with her cruelty and bullying 🤡🤡

[@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi]

And are you stupid enough to not understand the men are also to blame it wasn’t just Serena then again your probably a dumb Blair fan so of course your a misogynistic idiot who will only blame Serena even though the men are equally to blame 🤡🤡

[@mdsmalta]

@@SunshineBarbie-sv4bithe difference is that Blair takes responsibility and doesn’t pretend she’s nice and innocent.

[@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi]

@@mdsmalta no she doesn’t anytime someone treats her the way she treats everyone else she cries and acts like the victim she never took responsibility and only apologized if she got caught then right after she’d apologize she’d go right back to being her cruel awful self

[@anon35423]

Even though Serena did way more, Emily annoys me the most because of her "I'm so innocent, it just happened, it's not my fault" act with everyone on the show also seeming to back her up. Atleast for Serena her mom was disgusted with the married man scenario and everyone judged Serena for her first sleeping with Nate, Emily in Paris like all the characters just excuse it as "the French way" 🙄

[@lithium4246]

Especially cause it’s not the French way

[@gwenbar8144]

Exactly 😭 ​@@lithium4246

[@biancatripp8410]

I dunno. I feel like Cassie might be the worst, because not only did she sleep her best friend's ex, but it was her best friend's ABUSIVE ex. Granted Maddie defended Nate when he put his hands on her. But everyone knew it was really Nate. I could never forgive a friend for doing that to me, knowing how they've treated me in the past.

[@No-nt3vj]

Cassie was really bad for it especially like you said it was her best friends ABUSIVE ex, but Cassie is still a teen and for her based on her own trauma having attention from guys even those that are bad is what she craves so she definitely needs a reality check and therapy

[@lithium4246]

As much as I think what she did was despicable, I would argue that because he is abusive, she fell for it even more because abusive men are usually more manipulative, she felt like she knew him and then when they started doing something together that she knew him better than Maddie ever did, that’s a recurrent mindset of the next woman with abusive men it’s like ok that happened to you, but it won’t happen to me because I’m different very main character syndrome

[@palomasaudios2676]

Even worse, dating an abusive man turned Cassie into an abusive bully herself where she was willing to exact the same pain and misery towards others remorselessly. I feel like Maddy's beating and Lexi's play will worsen her anger even more.

[@loisperalta9732]

Yeah but the Euphoria show didn't gloss over it as much as they did with Serena. We're supposed to hate Cassie, and most of the audience did. We're not supposed to hate Serena, apparently.

​@@No-nt3vj she's about to graduate highschool, not 13/14

[@catendway4754]

The issue is that the shows always glorify the cheating and never show the consequences. ESPECIALLY if the cheater is the MC. And if they show show the consequences, they almost always lowkey get glorified too, in an “oh we are so hurt and now we can’t be together my star-crossed lover 😩” manner And if real life situations, like the Ariana-Ethan scandal, is anything to go by, IRL not-girl girls will still be defended and glorified too

[@uniraffesaur]

The number of times a romantic partner exists solely as an obstacle between the two romantic leads getting together 💀 And the other partner is always vilified for not being as perfect a match for the love interest as the main character regardless of if they’re actually a villain or not. And it’s always framed in a way that we’re meant to cheer when the two leads finally get together (often before the other partner has been left), and the other partner getting dumped for the main character is just like “🤷🏻‍♀️ sucks to suck, glad they’re out of the way”. And HOW OFTEN does this moment happen when the love interest and other partner are getting engaged or about to get married, and so the love interest calls off their engagement/wedding for the main character?? And we’re not supposed to feel for this other partner who was left just before their wedding for another person?? The Jim/Pam/Karen triangle is such a good example of this. People HATED Karen and treated her like the villain for coming between Jim and Pam, when really, Karen was literally just trying to have a healthy relationship with a man who was using her to run away from his feelings for a woman who rejected him. Karen did nothing wrong. Jim dragged her along and Pam was happy to wedge herself in there.

[@CiaLaVirago]

Referring to the IRL Ariana/Ethan scandal, i disagree: they have both received a lot of backlash. The reason why there's still people defending them (especially Ariana) it's because on one hand they're not random people, they're celebrities with a fanbase, mostly made up of very young people. On the other hand, Ariana Grande has recently completely rebranded her image as the epitome of delicate, vulnerable femininity that's just a victim of the media. This rebrand was incredibly effective, because now, instead of appearing as a shameless sex kitten, she is this tragic princess in the throes of the whims of love, who couldn't help but to feel the way she felt for Ethan. So yeah, she's being excused a lot, but that's because she's an exception, not the rule.

These writers were unhinged. The fact that her “happy ending” was marrying the guy that s*x trafficked off her body to his uncle in exchange for a hotel license is-😧 Serena however faced no immediate downfall. The worst “consequence” she ever faced was having all her friends be mad at her at the same time and then being falsely placed in rehab for a day.

[@girlyvidsbyali1475]

Not just the girls are to blame but the guys. If a man truly loves you he would push her away and expose her to you. Not cheat on you with her. The man is just as much as the rat as the girl is. In all honesty the man is to blame since it’s all being done because of him.

[@melobski4]

I absolutely agree either way this and I’d also say this video focuses on the girls because the betrayal of a girl friend hurts deeper, at least for me and for most of us around the comment section

[@SunshineBarbie-sv4bi]

Especially with Serena and Nate because Nate knew Serena was drunk and took advantage of that and trashy sexist misogynistic Blair forgave Nate even though he was also involved and equally to blame but tried to destroy Serena I don’t blame her for being mad at Serena but Nate was also involved so she should have gave him the same energy

Woman was a frickin mess.

Same! And they still defend my ex friend, make excuses for them, as it’s much easier to ignore a friend’s unethical actions than take action themselves. Reflects so badly on everyone.

[@bienkies9152]

Serena was why I couldn't watch the show further than the third season. She's a ridiculous character. She was a terrible person with no consequence who was over-glorified and rewarded for her bad behavior. It completely overshadowed any enjoyment I had while watching the show.

[@sreegitabose]

serena was horrible for sleeping with her bestfriend's bf once but cassie was genuinely horrible for sleeping with her bestfriend's ab*ser and still act all high and mighty. at least serena felt guilty about it, ntm she was drunk and she did it once. cassie kept doing it. daddy issues isnt an excuse for this behaviour

[@mariaempting9573]

Something that always annoyed me, in Heartbreak High the best friend of the main character not only sleeps with her crush but later with her boyfriend. And at the end the main character forgives her and they stay friends. And the best friend never really faces consequences for it. If I was her I would NEVER trust her again.

[@violeticious9197]

Check out that hilarious show “Crazy X-girlfriend”. There the MC goes for someone’s boyfriend, because she believes they are meant to be. It’s a great musical and mental health show.

[@j.ray555]

This literally made me wonder about entire generation of girls. It is standard Girl Code that any man they like is off limits! If she's a good friend even if she never gets the guy you don't touch that guy. It's also girl code when you go to a party or a club together you leave together. You do not let your friends pass out in a room by themselves and if they're drunk you take them home so somebody won't take advantage of them. It's a matter of safety and respect and it seems like at least on TV they don't want girls looking out for each other in order to make us weak😢

[@VolcanicAsh2001]

My old best friend, got with my ex literally like 2 weeks after we broke up and had a foursome with her And 2 grown men in their 30s, we were literally seniors in high school. And it's crazy too, one because My ex abused me and two because that's the first time, either of them have done something like that.And also, that's the first time that my ex best friend had ever tried anything with a girl. Let me just say I definitely get maddie

[@cipaternet]

I think you'd be surprised how many women aren't bothered about stealing men, but I appreciate your optimism regarding it :3

[@CiaLaVirago]

You can't "steal" a man. He goes willingly, and if he does, god riddance, because it means he never cared and respected you in the first place.

[@KatStawp]

I highly recommend watching Fleabag... because we truly loved her even tho she did what she did.

[@arbyswitch5580]

I actually couldn't keep going after the end of season 1 reveal, it was honestly so jarring but I legit felt like I had just been misled and betrayed by a friend I thought I could trust. The most severe emotional response I've ever had to an unreliable narrator (I'm pretty autistic, I really felt like my trust has been taken advantage of, added context I was only 22 years old and had just experienced the 2016 presidential election cycle so i was not entirely in a good place mentally) and it actually kind of changed the way I consume fiction ngl 😂

[@KatStawp]

@@arbyswitch5580 Oh hun, I'm so sorry you felt that way. Really! However, Fleagbag has of course a very mature and psychological approach on betrayal. I highly recommend watching season 2. It's first of all MUCH BETTER than season 1, and second you can clearly see how she tries to do better (not only with her sexuality, but also with her sister and other people around her). The first season is obviously about denying and grieving, while the second one is about healing. You might like it :)

[@arbyswitch5580]

[@diannholland]

Thinking about it. This is such a soap opera trope. But I wonder if one of the reasons that this type of "story" telling is rooted in the: "I wish I could make So and So fall for me." OR "I wish I could get all the guys like So and So." Or "Why doesn't So and So see that he would be better off with ME?" Soaps have been doing this for over 70 years. Sadly.

[@sarahm6403]

I mean, I think that, when it actually happens in real life, it is a way more complicated scenario than what it is shown on TV and guys are to blame too ! Sadly, between girls, it can have a lot of competitions, especially at a young age when they lack a lot of confidence. I am not saying that these behaviors are forgivable but understanable and that society is tough on women. It leads them to compete against themselves and sometimes it goes on them arguing over the same guy because of jalousy and lack of self esteem.

[@heyplaguedoctor]

[@serahne]

I would recommend watching Fleabag. The main character could fall into this category with what she did, but I still think her journey is deeply human and beautiful. I do also feel some kind of sympathie for Cassie. What she did is absolutely shitty, but Cassie is in dire need of therapy, she pretty much uses Nate to hurt herself and SHE NEEDS HELP. I'm definitely on Maddie's side, but I do feel terrible for Cassie. Blake and Emily are absolutely disgusting and the fact that they face barely any consequence for being like this is annoyiiiing. Though in Gossip Girl, the pitch is literally 'rich people being awful'.

[@arbyswitch5580]

Theres honestly part of me that feels as tho it is unfair to include a character written by Sam Levison on this list due to rhe fact that he is creatively bereft...if somehow someone else was writing Euphoria, Cassie would have a legitimate character arc (that could literally still include being babygirl)

[@veronicasmemories]

I can assure you that is not common with me or my friends. The comments though have me worried. Why are there people who have had this happen to them irl, that's awful!

[@katelyn2306]

I think the office actually kind of does this well with Michael. He’s the “other woman” and he’s fed all these stories about how the girl he’s seeing’s husband is just terrible so he feels justified in his actions, but then he meets the guy and actually realizes maybe he was in the wrong. It’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head though, and with a guy so it’s a different situation

[@ashleyelisabeth4]

I agree, making the main character not a girl's girl sends the wrong message and I don't even understand where or how this trend started. One of my least favorites of this trend is Gilmore Girls because Rory was briefly reprimanded for it and then everyone acted like nothing happened

My ex bestie, who I'd just flown across counry to visit me, thought she'd try to take what I had. When I asked her why she said, "I guess I'm just selfish. You have every right to be angry." Worst betrayal I've experienced. Apparently she liked that my husband is a great dad, felt jealous because her baby daddy is a deadbeat, and thought maybe she could get my husband to leave and be her son's new daddy. I'm thankful I have a loyal significant other that was willing to show me as soon as there was stink ass behavior.

i generally agree with you but i feel like in films and tv shows lots of characters do insane things (like even murder) where the audience still roots for them and is supposed to (vampire diaries, prison break, game of thrones, la casa de papel). it does make a character more interesting i guess (while it also really depends on what kinda show you're watching...) but i also don't like seeing the "not-girls girl character" being glorified so i'm 50/50 on this topic yk

[@CiaLaVirago]

Murder is illegal. Cheating is vile. There's the difference. There's instances in which murder can be justified (self defence, etc) but there's not, and will never be a justification for cheating. It's not something that you do because you had no choice or your hand was forced. It's something you do because you're a bad person. That's all.
