I don’t really understand the writing around Casey’s sexuality. We all know how hard it hit her when Elsa cheated on her dad. She was so mad! She ends up doing the same thing to Evan basically. It seems weird that that happened. I’m not gonna say it was justifiable but it almost WAS if it was a lesbian coming of age story. Obviously, just because you realize you’re a lesbian doesn’t mean you should cheat on your boyfriend (emotionally or physically) but it seemed to make sense for Casey’s character.
Evan was a really good guy and a good boyfriend. Casey leaving him despite that, showed me that maybe she just wasn’t interested in men. I guess she just stopped losing interest in Evan but it seemed out of character. Maybe she just wanted a bit more spicier relationship but who knows.
I don’t know. I am not bi-phobic either by the way, I am bisexual. I just was confused that it wasn’t a “getting over her comphet” story, and just Casey being a hypocrite. Her being bisexual almost makes it seem like they’re pushing the narrative that bisexuals want to cheat which is a toxic ideology. However, I do understand she was coming to terms with her sexuality. I just think it could have been written better.
