@tainatism Yeah I also just think it’s gross how people ignore the assault in general… one of my fav s1 moments is when Travis is trying to tell Natalie that he didn’t want it but can’t get it out and I never really see people discuss it :/
Okay I don’t agree w the og tweet AT ALL(and agree that Travis’ race is part of why he is ignored in discussions just like tai)but this feels fairly disingenuous to say when Lottie and Travis are the same age so what does him being a minor have to do w her being predatory…
travis was also a minor when lottie and the other girls sexually assaulted him, and the reason why that gets lost in the comvo regarding doomcoming is very much tied brown kids not being seen as kids even in their victimhood.
@tainatism Yeah… if the show wanted to establish him as younger they should have made it more explicit esp given the actors age lol… but I wouldn’t put it past them to just overlook that low key
@tainatism they hadn’t cast Travis yet And since he’s one of the oldest on the cast I wouldn’t be surprised if they also aged him up in the show… but I think this is DEF an interesting interpretation and I love it… hopefully they confirm more in s4!
@tainatism Oh! Nice I didn’t even catch that - tbh I still wouldn’t take that as 100% canon (sorry if it seems I’m moving the goal posts 😭) j cause it’s clear they didn’t have a perfectly set age+ lots of stuff in this script is diff to what’s on screen+
@tainatism Yeah after talking I can 100% see you were just trying to bring up a discussion about Travis’ treatment in fandom - ig I’m just too used to twt bad faith takes lol
@tainatism Again not defending them 😭 cause their take was weird - just felt like yours was sort of twisting what they said to be worse than it already was
@tainatism Oh dw I didn’t feel like you were attacking them - more so that the argument was flawed … but maybe that’s my black and white autistic thinking idk 😭
@tainatism I actually think that’s p interesting! If the show had delved into that more intentionally I think it would be v interesting given all the power dynamics at play w gender in the wilderness
@tainatism If that’s even true (actors aren’t always the best sources sometimes writers have diff ideas) then wouldn’t that make him 1 year younger than Lottie ?

@tainatism I mean sure! I agree there’s an adultafiction of brown boys irl and in media but the show also never makes this clear at all so how are people supposed to know ?
@tainatism Also if that’s true than Nat would also be predatory in that way which doesn’t seem to be what the show is going for (she’s predatory towards him in a different way to be clear)
