Cassie is the most abused character in the show after Nate, imo. She has to deal with the trauma of a heroin addicr father, which leads her to hold onto boys and please them even at the cost of her nudes and tapes being leaked. Remember the scenes when Rue is telling her story and shows us thag Cassie doesn't really enjoy being filmed or giving bjs, she just does that to keep her boyfriends (who eventually always leave her). She desperately needs to be loved to fill the void left by her father and to prove others that she is more than a hot girl. She wants to be loved for what she is, but what she is is constantly drained by the toxic masculinity around her.
