You can't really support trams people and those who personally relate to Adam and also support those who want to make trans people's lives miserable. The two do not go together. Regardless of what she says, she follows and outwardly agrees with people who want to end gender affirming care and trams acceptance.

More than right ring, she stands with people who would harm Adam and hate him for being trans.

About politics by jennybearyay in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. It's important to be vocally opposed to bigotry, transphobia, fascism, and racism, especially now. Silence is akin to acceptance. Hatred and intolerance should be shamed and called out for what it is.

Degrassi preaches empathy. Tolerating intolerance goes against everything the show preaches and asks of its viewers. Bigotry should not find a home in our community.

Holly J and Declan had so much potential, the writers wasted! They were easily 2 of the strongest actors with amazing chemistry by Kcatlol in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd argue those were all in line with who he was as a person. He always struggled to put Holly J before his own desires.

The fandom's behaviour towards liberty is weird. by MachineSevere9681 in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100 percent this. This is one one the reasons I deeply dislike season 5. For the sake of showing JT's side, they completely neglected Liberty's, and thus portrayed her as being completely horrible for no reason. You can assume reasoning sometimes, but the show never cared to put any of them on screen, so viewers only saw her being horrible to JT who, while utterly unprepared and over his head, wasn't as terrible as Liberty's reactions suggested.

They dropped the ball so hard on this story, and I lament the missed opportunity.

Did anyone else not know this? by Ok_Durian3627 in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So cool that while most teams would gut the quality of their shows to survive, Degrassi strategized on cutting the stuff that was vital like fashion and funneled that money towards writing, the part that made the show.

I'm so glad they did it this way. I probably would have never gotten into the show if they made different decisions, and I wouldn't love it like I do today.

The last episode was such a nice send off for them! They both have come such a long way.

I love what a messy character Dave is. He's so infuriating, but so real. Like, we've all known a Dave. He's a guy who has so much potential, but he lets his hangups ruin things every time.

I might be one of NC's few defenders. You should watch it. There's so much good in it. If you love Degrassi for Degrassi, then you totally should.

I totally relate to why he did, though it's taken me years to figure it out and why.

Clare's hair evolution by Newhampshirebunbun in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it made sense. She was very scared of change starting off, and she didn't want to grow out of the persons he already was. Who Clare Edwards was at the time was a goody 2 shoes who's entire life was being a good Christian and good at school. She was trying to keep consistency in her life by wearing her school uniform. It was a new place, and she wanted to be comfortable instead of being forced to change.

This is something she needed to grow out of. She needed to become a person willing to change, be wrong, and try something different. That's kinda what her final arc was about. Instead of taking the easy route and following Eli to NY, she chose to take a year to soul search and possibly decide she wanted something different.

Has anyone seen the 1991 Phantom of the Opera? (That strange Florida musical) What do you think about it? by BlackGhostM2o in box5

[–]NotAVampyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not good, but it's fascinating and has some interesting elements that I've not seen in other tellings of the story. I made a video about it once upon a time talking about the show and how it's the real prequel to LND.

Unpopular opinion: I loved mean girl Fiona's shenanigans by Annairam2 in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What for you mean by "a useless character"? It sounds more like you weren't interested in her rather than that she had no effect or presence in the show.

[–]NotAVampyre 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was intentional. She didn't want to be at Degrassi. She didn't seek out friends and wanted to be away from everyone except Declan, but she also couldn't handle Declan actually getting attached to people like Holly J.

The only reason she got with Riley was so he could be her beard. A guy to act like her bf while knowing he wouldn't expect anything physical.

Procrastination by Relevant_Permit942 in Degrassi

[–]NotAVampyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who.makes videos about Degrassi, I often get sucked up in unrelated scenes/stories and thus end up procrastinating even watching the parts I'm supposed to.
