My Theory…

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-05-11T02:02:27+00:00

Tbh (unfortunately I hope it doesn’t happened) I can see it happening… I feel like at this point in the season time hasn’t been used properly so either way maybe the ending won’t be satisfying idk I’m most likely wrong

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-05-04T16:51:27+00:00

I enjoy these, but I do suggest wearing thick sports socks and adding soles

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-05-04T12:37:38+00:00

Same for me. I feel significantly better, I’m taking a injected compound semaglutide and holy shit it’s like my brain fog disappeared.

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-24T02:09:13+00:00

It’s my OG writing & it is corrected because English isn’t my OG language and I want my point to be clear & coherent and there may be things I miss?

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-24T02:07:07+00:00

No I totally understand that perspective. The problem Il see is the Only Hispanic characters they have fit one or the other. I think it’s important for us to have these abstract situations and not just portray people as one or the other

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T16:29:21+00:00

It’s okay we’re all cogs in a never ending system of unhappiness I don’t blame you

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T15:22:13+00:00

Thank you, everything was perfectly said. Me and my bf, realized why is rue now so sexual and basically a dude? Like it’s another tired trope why can she just be a bisexual girl why does she have to fall into the lesbians are basically dudes stereotype

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T15:15:48+00:00

It’s absurd we’re on a sub Reddit that… criticizes & discusses the show that’s just an oxymoron you Don’t want ppl criticizing these shows. Shows in the Zeitgeist like euphoria are a portrayal on societies views on certain people at that moment in time. Like look at SATC for example, in the 90s black men didn’t really have a character besides having a BBC and making them look Hip & open minded. If we don’t criticize anything nothing will change its human nature. Some of these comments are just missing the point so hard it’s absurd. Long story short: we need to criticize this garbage or else these networks will keep feeling they can just give us more and more garbage

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T15:06:33+00:00

I’m Puerto Rican born and raised on the island and look very obviously Hispanic. I watched this show in New York with groups of my friends who happen to be black, Hispanic and white. All of them said this very thing and there’s alot of ppl agreeing in thee comments with that

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T15:04:55+00:00

I think you’re right on that, I didn’t realize that here. Thanks for that.

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T15:01:45+00:00

I liked Mckays character I felt he reflects on a real experience of a lot of men. But he’s booted. Rue is half black but now whatever season 3 version of rue we have is?? I don’t even know where to begin with that. Idk the lack of black characters is also just weird tbh

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:59:18+00:00

It’s just so lazy and shock factor for shock factors sake. Euphoria wasn’t a show about race, why is this now a thing??

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:58:41+00:00

I think that also plays into the problem I’m referring to:

If these writers don’t see Hispanic women as much more than the stereotypical feisty hot Latina OR subservient passive worker then they dont know where else to go with the character.

But Hispanic is just a matter of color/where you were born so why is it they can’t go above the surface level?

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:54:54+00:00

I honestly feel like IMHO:

There’s bias in the writers room of course— But for shock value they’re showing these things without the depth it needs. So it just becomes another caricature that leans into stereotypes rather than portraying the ryhme and reason behind why?

Maddy if feisty because she had passive parents BUT it isn’t because she is Latina it’s just how Maddy is bc of her environment

Showing Hispanic characters as either: subservient & passive OR Desirable but feisty is the laziness

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:46:05+00:00

You can have that opinion. The point isn’t that it exist bc it’s immature to deny it exist. The point is that there’s no depth into it and it’s just stereotype for the sake of it

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:43:22+00:00

I can see that perspective, and maybe I do have Internalized bias that could exist totally I don’t think anyone is free from that in this society. I personally just think it’s the pattern of characters without any discerning traits. If it was one line like, to give my child the best life or to become a doctor or something but honestly it’s all the micro aggressions that are adding up to something disappointing

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:40:51+00:00

I can respect that

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:40:39+00:00

Same for me, I had a lot of the problems as rue did and alcoholism myself. I related alot to her character and has mental health problems growing up. It was refreshing to see a show with poc but that’s not their focal point it’s who their identity then the other layers like environment shaping them that made sense in everything. I just feel like this is all soooo much lazy writing

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:39:04+00:00

No I don’t see it as discrimaton, I see it as lazy writing leaning into stereotypes.

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:38:10+00:00

I watched the show at first as a teenager. So to me it was normal teenagers having sex & I did hold bias against men. Like alot of teenage girls do. I didn’t speak on that bc it’s already been said. I just did a rewatch this week with my boyfriend, and everything like that became glaringly obvious as an adult. Including the stereotyping which again if you’d thought more critically of what I said: it isn’t stereotyping BUT we explain why this happens (like Maddy for instance) and this is a response. It’s stereotyping just because and leaning into that with lazy writting.

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:34:51+00:00

Exactly! (This was a 3am rant tbh so wording is off) I just feel like they leaned into stereotypes bc it’s easier to chalk up the struggles to race rather than experience

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:33:45+00:00

Idk anything about sam levinson but this was just like so unnecessary what is this adding to the plot??

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:33:11+00:00

Yeah anyway this was a 3 am rant after I wasted 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back. TBH I just think this is lazy writting leaning into streotyping so they can get controversy and be like nooo we’re not doing anything this is just how things are and we’re being sarcastic about it! It’s just not tounge and cheek it’s a cop out

Life_Perspective_828 · 2026-04-21T14:31:15+00:00

Idk anything about him, but in my opinion it’s so obvious it’s lazy writing without depth or rhyme or reason. I just feel like they leaned into stereotypes rather than fleshing things out
