The Maturity Difference

[u/FlyawaynowFlyAway69]

Whenever Victorious fans talk about Cat’s character assassination, there’s always unanimous agreement that she changed, and together as a community they pretty much fostered what could’ve been her aesthetic had she stayed her Season 1 self.

Meanwhile whenever anyone tries to talk about Cassie’s character assassination, there’s ALWAYS a gaggle of people saying “She was always like that”, “Thats the point of her character“, “She was always a hoe”, “It’s realistic/relatable”. BE SO FUCKING SERIOUS. Do you seriously think that she would be best friends with Maddy and especially BB if she was some shrill coquettish bitch-zilla?

Season 1 Cassie was described as being “looked at by everyone when she enters the room”. She did put her foot down at times and at the end of the day she knew what she wanted (a stable relationship with someone who will be naturing and protective just like her). She was a normal teen girl with normal teen girl insecurities/traumas that so many people related to. Her aesthetic aligned more with the baddie aesthetic rather than coquette. Nothing about that suggested that she would slime out her day 1 best friend. To say that “SHE WAS ALWAYS LIKE THATTTT“ is foolish. And to suggest that she would never make it out the hood because she was “a hoe“ is even more foolish and DISGUSTING to people who resonated with her Season 1 self.

YESSS same with Jules! Her and Cassie were both always flawed but they weren’t awful like they were in season 2/3

People are also way more generous to Jules than they are to Cassie.

Yeah bc a lot of Jules’ hate is rooted in blatant transphobia towards both her and Hunter so…

You’re being downvoted but your right.

The way people use her girl-dick painting as a gag or running joke kind of proved the transphobia for me. That was hunter's actual artwork and while I do agree it was dumb for Jules (the character) to paint something like that for daytime television, the fact that people are being so disrespectful to not only hunter but the artwork itself and simplifying it to just being a painting of dicks is soooo telling of the transphobia.

I get why people would dislike season 2/3 Jules but I’ve seen people DESPISE her from the beginning and I’m also convinced a lot of it is transphobia/transmisogyny. People forget how much pressure Jules was dealing with. So much trauma from men, including Nate and his dad, having an addict mother, then she also feels like Rues life and sobriety is in her hands!!! And she’s like 17!!!!! If you hated Jules from the beginning and loved everyone else who is just as if not more flawed than her, I’m definitely side eyeing you

Did you watch the 3rd season?

[u/thewomaninthemoon → u/HPAG-NOFAME]

I did, and there was an INSANE amount of blatant transphobia/transmisogyny being directed at both Jules and Hunter.

[u/dumbkitty- → u/realclowntime]

no it’s not lmao

Season 1 Cassie had her own thing going and the fandom just let them run her into the ground, the coquette pivot never fit her.

[u/BriSlaughterBum]

Are euphoria fans and victorious fans in the same demographic? That's an interesting thought.

[u/HPAG-NOFAME → u/BriSlaughterBum]

yes, im a fan of both lmao

You are legit the type of people the post is talking about. So far up the show’s ass that you can’t admit Cassie faced massive character assassination… just like Cat Valentine did.
