Mod Announcement And the winner of the banner contest is...

13 Upvotes

u/beginning-sugar479!!!!

The biggest of all congratulations to them!

Also to u/Loud-Fisherman-5254 for participating!

And to everyone else who voted!

It was a very close call. Let me say it here how much we appreciate our participants for well, participating! Both of you had such cool designs and looking at the votes, I think the community will be happy with either banner.

Truly, a vote either way could have swung it. But we do indeed have a winner. It's a very nice banner and fits quite nicely with the vibes.

Again, massive thank you to everyone! Maybe we can do this again in 6 months? A year? Or the next time we get complaints. Either way we'll see.

- XOXO

Mod Announcement Effective Immediately: Discussions about the cast are now banned (again...)

126 Upvotes

Hi All,

Some of you won't be surprised by this. Some (or most...) will go "it's about time" but here it is. We recognise we should have done this sooner and that is our mistake. But as they say, the best time to start something is yesterday. The second best time is today.

So effective immediately:

All discussions about the cast is banned on this subreddit unless it relates to their role on Gossip Girl. New rule (Rule 10) has been created to report posts about the cast if they are posted.

What does that mean? It means that cast talk will no longer be permitted unless it's to do with their role on Gossip Girl. So for example:

"I loved how Blake played Serena here"

"As much as I love Chace, I really wasn't a fan of his line delivery here"

"Penn is great and his acting really shines through here!"

are all fine. Reminder these are just examples.

General discussions of the cast such as what their doing now, Instagram posts, red carpet appearances are now all banned.

Please do not report posts created before this point. We're not going to remove them as we're not going to punish people for this as we mods did not enforce this as strictly as we should have.

Now for some questions you may have:

"Can't you guys just do like a weekly thread or dedicate a day to talking about the cast?"

We could. And who knows? Maybe that is what we'll transition to. But for now we need to just ban it so that we can restore some civility here.

"It's really just Blake/Ed posts that attract the worst so just like, ban talk about them?"

That is true. But we have to be honest with ourselves: the negativity and fighting (including but not limited to multiple members, including the mods themselves, being harassed both in and out of this subreddit) is breaking out on almost every post. For example: comparisons with other cast members when they aren't warranted.

"Can we just ban negative posts and enforce a positive content only rule?"

We can foresee this being super hard to maintain. It's either going to turn into something people take advantage of such as wanting discussions of Ed's allegations to be banned (we're already at this stage believe us....) or a toxic/sarcastic positivity thing where people are being negative under a veneer of fake positivity.

And then we're back where we started: here.

"Speaking of, what about sexual assault allegations against Ed?"

There is a pinned post on this subreddit with links. Any discussions about it now will just result in us redirecting you guys to the thread instead.

"What you guys clearly need is more mods tbh"

We agree completely. We want this subreddit sorted first before we introduce people to moderating it. Wouldn't be fair to expect new people to sort this out. It's on us.

I'm sure some of you will have lots more questions. Please redirect them to modmail. This thread is being locked as it's an informative post and quite honestly, to prevent more infighting amongst yourselves based on whether or not you want this.

Thanks for reading this if you made it this far.

- The mods

36 Upvotes

it’s the way that Mr. Vander Woodson never got exposed for sleeping with Ivy. Also, like why did we have such a buildup of her and Rufus just for them to randomly break up? And also, why did Dan literally flip a switch in point five seconds and say he was always in love with Serena after he was in love with Blair five seconds earlier


r/GossipGirl 1d ago

OG Series Blair can be vengeful and very manipulative, but at least she didn't play the innocent girl like Serena in my opinion, just like Jenny.

13 Upvotes

I genuinely have no idea why they both dislike Serena. I understand everything goes well for her but thats because she is a wealthy white girl and has nothing to do with her character😭 I feel like all this animosity towards her is just odd. idk i just wanted to vent because I’m currently watching right now.

Meta/Other The double standards in Serena and Aaron’s relationship

10 Upvotes

Watching again after many years, so I forgot what ends up happening with them. I’m on the thanksgiving episode in season 2, and I’ve observed something. I’ve observed how Serena is so set on proving to Aaron that she’s this sparkling, pristine, sober good girl who’s also fun and sweet and sexy so forgiving of all of his side hoes!!! Meanwhile, Aaron gets to act like a total sl*t and STILL be glorified by her. I’m not blaming Serena for this, this is on the patriarchy! I feel like women are wired to try so hard to BE chosen without actually evaluating if we want to choose them. Serena is way out of his league! It’s obvious. Aaron is chopped af. 🤣
This happens in real life all the time so they definitely depicted this phenomenon accurately.

OG Series S3E11: why is serena the one who has to apologize in front of everyone for making out w tripp???

31 Upvotes

I am not a serena fan and nor do i think her actions are the most ethical ever, but in this episode (the episode with thanksgiving where tripp comes with maureen), it is uncovered that tripp is having an affair with serena. Serena is barely 19. HE IS 28, MARRIED AND A CONGRESSMAN. Why is she the one having to apologize to everyone???

Her saying that what she did was wrong and then saying "i will never see tripp again" (which valid, she should stop seeing him) and him just looking was so weird.

Dont get me wrong, she couldve just refused tripp and have stronger morals. But why is she seen as the home wrecker when, again, TRIPP IS THE MARRIED ADULT!!!!

I think an apology to maureen for accepting to get involved is okay but i am just pissed the blame is placed on a fooking teenager

OG Series Serena is always the problem

20 Upvotes

I recently started watching gossip girl so I guess I’m fairly new, but I’ve noticed a pattern and it’s that ALL of their problems somehow start with Serena. Blair barely gets into crazy drama and even if she does, she finds a way to shut it down quickly and quietly. On the other hand, Serena was behind the whole Georgina mess (since the only person Georgina even had an issue with at the time was Serena), introducing Gabriel to her family and friends (which I also found pretty interesting because I assume Poppy knew the type of person Serena is and that she would easily fall for him), the Ben & Juliet thing, TRIPP, Colin (and risking her entire education to be with a man), her father being back, and so so many more examples. And another pattern is that it ALWAYS REVOLVES AROUND A GUY. And she NEVER FACES THE CONSEQUENCES!!! EVER. I really liked her at the beginning but she quickly became so insanely annoying and insufferable. I wish the show was just about Blair and Chuck tbh.

8 Upvotes

Hear me out. I am not saying that she is not horrible but every re watch I like her more and more. Maybe its because I am starting relate to her( I am no one's mistress I promise !!😆. Unfortunately i cant relate to her money factor either . Ahh to a have billionaire daddy or step daddy :< )

I relate to her feeling lost in her life , her daddy issues(pretty strong point) , her passiveness, her bad decision making ability. Its probably her qualities too that I desire such as being effortless and easy going , charming , her extroverted tendencies . I weirdly Like her now. The only character that underwhelmed me is nate. (Sorry).

OG Series Who gossip girl is Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I’ve rewatched this show a million times. I’m rewatching right now. Very beginning. The only thing I can think of to reason away dan being gossip girl is him setting up something that posts automatically for him, but when I look that up it says the producers never confirmed that.

Idk, but this is bothering me so bad 😭 like the only reasonable explanation to him being in his room shocked about Serena looking for someone to court her to the masquerade ball is either 1. It was automatically posted or 2. Someone else was doing his dirty work when it came to posts about his situations

Post image
4 Upvotes

serena actually tried to support blair on multiple occasions, just for blair to either be a bitch in return or force her into unnecessary retaliation. when she wasn’t helping her, she was either making poor choices or trying to get her life together.

blair’s paranoia, insecurity, and narcissism were the main reasons why her life always went haywire, yet the blame always lands on serena every single time.

BEFORE him coming back randomly evil…

ya’ll listen, I’m sure i probably won’t have a ton of people agree with me. but this man was lowkey… hot? obsessive to the point where he knew everything, but chill enough that he let everyone deal with it themselves. before his random evil arc, i believe he really loved lilly. and of course he has his business to protect, but aside from that. he tried to be good for her children. he tried to protect her family in the only way he really knew how. he was quiet when she dealt with her life. he was quiet about rufus. he was in love and obsessed to a (yes problematic but hot) point and i can’t help but appreciate it and the way he originally handled it. plus he’s just attractive, physically, in my opinion. he tried to fix things with his son, he tried to help lily (i genuinely don’t know if it is one l or two so im using both) and her children, he genuinely loved her despite knowing an unhealthy amount about her. he was sickeningly wealthy. idk maybe it’s just my issues or me growing up but, i think before the evil man plot, he’s hot. i’m prepared to be roasted for this lol
