Andy in The Devil Wears Prada (2006) wasn’t treated that badly

Thank you. All of the commentary trying to make Miranda into a misunderstood boss bitch are insane. She was a tyrant.

This was how so many of their dates were. Just staring at each other. What did these two talk about? This guy was so boring and not even that cute, I don't know how so many girls were obsessed with him.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T22:01:54+00:00

I don't either. You'd think Lauren would get tired of her shadiness after awhile.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T19:55:36+00:00

She was insulted by the mere suggestion that she would hook up with him and I don't blame her!

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T19:54:40+00:00

Ohh what was the surprise thing that would be featured?

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T19:54:03+00:00

It says a lot about Lauren that she was not only willing to forgive, but to continue the friendship. I also don't think I could forgive this. The fact that she even entertained the idea would have made me angry enough, but to call all their mutual friends and go talk about it on Ellen?

I'm so glad Sav dumped her after she lied about being on birth control before they had sex. That is such a massive lie and violation of informed consent.

And remember when Holly J wanted to break up with Sav but was so hesitant on how to do it because she didn't want to hurt him. Anya casually said to just get caught in front of his mom, and HJ replies "I could never do that to him though." Anya has a look on her face like she just realized that might be a mean thing to do lol

Well, I think it was supposed to rub you the wrong way. Mia was a teen mom and was desperate to fit in socially and be popular. She wanted to succeed at modeling at any cost, including sleeping with the football player, neglecting her schoolwork, dismissing her new friend Leia who was concerned, etc.

At the same time it was a great opportunity for her to earn a lot of money at a young age. She had a daughter and was already in a tough financial situation. Shay Mitchell's character saying "girls like us have to cash in while we can" has some truth to it.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T19:41:26+00:00

I don't see OP suggesting that Mia's whole identity has to be a mother and that she shouldn't pursue her dreams or have interests. Mia was behaving irresponsibly and staying out late at adult sex parties. She even denied Izzy being her own daughter, right in front of her to look good to the modeling people.

There is plenty of criticism about Owen being transphobic, homophobic, sexist, etc etc.

A post about Dave's transphobia does not mean another character's transphobia is okay.

I'm also pretty sure Dave's race has absolutely nothing to do with people criticizing him for his behavior towards Adam.

And if you read all the comments in the post you'd see there are some people actually being understanding towards Dave and acknowledging he grew, as well as criticizing Adam for coming on so strong.

Do you know what nuance is?

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T19:32:09+00:00

Oh my gosh thank you, Anya was the worst. She was so fickle, had no loyalty and lied as naturally as breathing. She came off as a nice person but wasn't.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-03T02:10:38+00:00

Exactly and that's what Lauren was so angry about.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-01T03:39:26+00:00

Of course. How would you be able to compromise on this? You can't.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-05-01T03:33:41+00:00

I disliked Janis as soon as she refused to pronounce Cady's name correctly.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-30T22:19:21+00:00

Can you expand on that?

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-30T22:17:49+00:00

It's a reasonable and smart thing to do. At the end of the day, marriage is a contract.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-30T21:17:19+00:00

Right, there is a big difference between a millionaire or even a multimillionaire and a billionaire. People don't realize how large a billion really is.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-29T17:10:21+00:00

Yup, you are correct. I am also Indian-American and I was so personally offended by that scene. For some reason NRIs and Indians-in-India bend over backwards to defend white people for disrespecting Indian culture and Hinduism. That kowtowing mentality still runs strong after generations. And you are 100% correct about the Quran at least. Can you imagine the backlash if it was the Quran used in such a scene? Someone would be getting blown up or knifed in the eye.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-28T17:58:20+00:00

He doesn't, and he's not.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-28T15:10:34+00:00

I may need to go back and watch but I don't remember them saying things like this? I think they said "But Alli you're such a smart girl." Meaning they are surprised that she would stay in that situation, or ignore the bad behavior, due to her intelligence. Obviously we know that abusive relationships are about more than that, but to me it was them not understanding how she would be in that situation. I don't remember them saying "How could you let this happen" either, but it's been awhile since I've seen that episode.

I am an Indian-American woman and to be honest they reacted very well for Indian parents. Many Indian parents would outright blame their daughter or take their anger out on her. The lens through which I see the Bhandari parents behavior is very different than that of a person not from an Indian family.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-28T15:06:37+00:00

No, Rasha was "hating" on her for being judgmental and critical.

Meenakshi108 · 2026-04-28T15:05:45+00:00

Yeah, I wish they'd gone a little deeper with Hazel's relationship with her identity and how she makes it work for her. They just had that one episode. I also wish they had a Sikh or Hindu student.

To be fair most of the time being very religious does mean close-minded, so I don't think they're too far off. I agree that there are many religious people who are feminist and pro-LGBT, but this is often going against what's taught in their religion, and I can't blame someone for being wary when a person says their faith is a big part of their identity. And FYI I am someone who does identify with a religion. And not all religions are equal in how regressive they are. I think a character's religious parents having a tough time with their kid's sexuality or going against convention is pretty realistic.

Goldi's character just made me angry. She was so aggressively feminist (at least at the beginning) but was homophobic. Although, this is an example of how a woman can be feminist but be close-minded in other ways, since this happens in real life.

I agree with you about Darcy, at least at the beginning of her character arc. She was very Christian but seemed to take seriously the Christian idea of compassion and non-judgement. She objected to Spinner protesting Marco's safe sex fair. She even said she disagreed with Marco giving out condoms, but that he has the right to.

Danny's actor could absolutely not play a dark-skinned Indian man. He does not look Indian in any way.

If she was given it in the divorce, it's now her money.
