In this thread, I will discuss the problematic way the Degrassi fandom discusses Spinner’s role in Jimmy getting shot and how it’s an unconscious form of the expectation white people have that black friends are to be perfect beings that exist to be proof on how they’re not racist
i feel like marisol had a tendency to almost take others' hardships on as her own and try to fix them (katie's od, mo's diabetes, etc.), and i really wish that would've been explored more. i would've liked to see her have a storyline where she has to accept that she can't (1/2)
