11:40 not to mention, Tristan started to date Miles, who is his BEST FRIEND’S EX! Like, he had ZERO loyalty! 😒

They really said our black girl limit is 2

His arc is one of the best in the entire series, but I do wish the show did more with him leading to his inevitable death. I think had he be introduced and credited as an actual new main cast member of the show during Season 3 it would of hit more. Personally, I would of preferred his home life being shown more. Giving him reason to prefer being at school vs. at home. Rather it be constant neglect or abuse or a combination would of gave more understanding to his anger issues. Then instead of him leaving the school & return, having him stay throughout would of added on to all the things that lead to his boiling point.

The way that they made their best friends shadows kills me

Emma's latest crusade supposedly against violence only leads to more violence. And most of the people bullying him are just jumping on the bandwagon. They neither know nor care about Terri.

So no Liberty or Shay?

He’s a villian the only person he tried to hurt with his fists was the girl he supposedly loved the most terri. And when he came back he was showing the same obsessive signs with Emma his new crush. And here is the craziest part when he showed up with a gun his first target was paige and Emma was a target. He was a coward who only was bold enough to hurt women. Even when he shot Jimmy he couldn’t even look he had to turn away

Everytime I hear Jane’s name I think about that damn "House Arrest" Song😭

He was not a good person he had mental issues however ......Raditch should have never allowed Rick back into degrassi

I have a feeling that rick was Autistic

Omg yess I love Glee but they def had some issues

1. i have to disagree with toby ever taking his relationship with liberty seriously. they were grieving and that’s his dead best friends true love aka her dead baby daddy, that’s some tubi shi cmon toby 😭 2. agree that claire could’ve ended up with either guy and been in hell. she should’ve slapped eli after that “really claire” moment. stayed single, been besties with drew, and went on to not be tied down by her toxic high school sweetheart. sis couldn’t stay away

before even starting the video, i think degrassi is amazing at showing all of their characters as victims and villains at some point in their arc. even tho i didn’t watch it until i was like 16, it helped shed light simply on the complexity of human nature. especially when it’s teenagers! such a valuable lesson

i have a lot of sympathy for esme. she shows traits of what i think is maybe bpd. i just finished watching next class for the like 5th time and i was really upset at the end because i felt like it further stigmatized mental illness in a way. when they showed all the social media posts of the characters' happy endings going off to college, etc., but they did not include one for esme, i literally started sobbing for her. i was also upset about how awful all the other characters talked about her and the only sympathetic thing said about her in the end was maya saying esme needs the kind of help that i did. i feel like that's just how people treat mentally ill people in crisis irl tho. like instead of seeing someone clearly needing help or acceptance, people tend to demonize those people. they immediately write them off as inherently bad.

Shane, let me tell you something a kiss is different than sex so whoa whoa wow I think that he should have every right to be mad. I don’t like that he called her that word but I don’t think that she should’ve done what she did a kiss as well, not as worse than a sex, sex is way worse worse than anything that you can do to somebody that is too far. I love them and I always will but as far that’s way too far.

Never really thought about Chante till now and your right

Liberty was hot she glowed up for her and for terri❤❤❤ liberty was also 11 and a freshman

They tried to explain this issue with liberty but she still became a bit of a glorified extra.The degrassi producers also tried to explain racism with lucy and blt,but they ended up getting less sceen time to.Degrassi still handles tough issues like racism better than American shows.

Great deep dive video.i was just thinking about this issue when watching the reality show southern charm which features mostly white blonde females who look exactly the same.i work occasionally as an extra in Atlanta tv and film.i actually feel bad that black females get treated like glorified extras.cant feel good,if you have trained so hard to be a working actor,then get upgraded to cast ,only to get one line in an episode.ive seen extras randomly given.a few lines hopefully this issue will improve since the strike and with networks like abc adding workshops for minorities that supposedly help them find opportunities in Hollywood.

I would say he was both a victim and a villain. He became a villain because of what the other people did to him but I agree with the others that you know you shouldn’t miss treat your girlfriend and all that other stuff you know that’s wrong him shooting up the school was wrong.

To me personally I am a huge Degrassi fan I love Degrassi what Rick did to Terrie was awful but people bullying him because of what he did wasn’t right Toby , Emma and Jimmy all trying to be his friend was just nice to see that maybe he isn’t all bad I would say he’s both

Link to Cheyenne Lin’s video that I mentioned as being the inspiration behind me wanting to discuss Rick’s arc within the show: th-cam.com/video/utm3DNrlbV4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sYsBNvKnb4pvdL-j A great watch, highly recommend

the fact that Chantay was on the show for 7 seasons and was rarely ever prominent is crazy.

I loved Hazel and Chantay. But never knew their backstory or even parents. They were typical "best friend carriers". I also noticed whenever the boys were closeted gay or trying to make their girls jealous they would date Marisol or Chantay or when none of the white girls wanted Jimmy, Moe 😅 (Hazel & Marisol).

I love Liberty and Drake they are great characters

Technically none of the cast was white they were Canadian

Following based on this video and I’m not even half through it yet lol, I grew up watching degrassi idk how old you are but I’m 26 and even first seeing drake after Degrassi for the first time, the first thing I said was “isn’t that jimmy from Degrassi” lol but will be watching your other videos now

I always felt like Ashley was biracial to me just passing.

Its weird because Lucy from Degrassi Jr. High/High was SO developed and had solid roles in multiple plot points in the 80s/90s… but then the 2000s happens and they are like…black people WHO? 😂😂😂

I hate how women of color were treated on this show. The black women were extras who had a line or two, the number of asian women in the degrassi black hole is ridiculous, and we didn't really get any other women of color until Next Class (even then, you had one of the few women of color written as the "crazy" girl).

it seems like Shay was Keisha’s replacement in Next Class. It’s like they couldn’t have 2 black girls on the show

One of the better characters of this show was Trinity . Ps i dont even know Kesha or heard of her.

I hate mia, she is such a brat😮😊

They would either make the black characters a token, follower or a complete dork with terrible storylines.

In all honesty, I preferred Cartoon Network at the time. When I was on Disney, I wanted to see Dave the Barbarian (my name is Dave). For me, Proud Family was just something that was on. I watched it, but I never got into it. As an adult, I tend to prefer shows that were meant to entertain over shows that were meant to teach lessons or morals. Those that are supposed to teach (preach), in my opinion, typically handle their topics in a rushed or shallow manner that can potentially do more harm than good. Like in the episode about bullying where Penny's answer to dealing with the gross sisters was to work for them. Or how one or two episodes prior, Trudy let them into the house and guilted Penny into accepting them. I was bullied by some of the girls in my class, so I didn't appreciate either episode. I actually just got into South Park, and I think they handle race better than Proud Family ever could. The Big Fix in season 25 taught that you should get to know someone before you try to "Help" them. Stan tried to "Help" Tolkien, and the guy was heavily embarrassed. At least that's how I interpret the episode. As for, say, the Juneteenth episode of Louder and Prouder, it felt like the creators were trying to catch up with political fads from 2020. All in all, I think they suck at what they do.

cool vid!

White privilege? Shawn was also white. He was just poor while Peter was a rich kid.

About the Gross Sisters. They're way underrated and just like with LaCienega people focus on the negative and knit pick reasons to be offended so they can have something to complain about and their voices be heard. The Gross Sisters are bullies but they actually break stereotypes about female characters being soft and girly and chasing after boys and what not. Two the Gross Sisters were shown to have moved up out of the hood and decided to pursue a career in music. I know what they say about black people using rap to get out of the hood, but the Gross Sisters waited until they got out of the hood to start rapping. Also after they met Lou Rawls in the original series, he was the one who suggested they should pursue a career in music after they showed they were really talented singers but declined because they felt there were too many CROOKS in the music business. Also the Gross Sisters (or at least Nubia) are actually quite intelligent. they Gross Sisters are business savvy. They formed their own record company and have advanced accounting knowledge for their age. Also they work hard everyday because their parents are tough on them and they instill the importance of having a work ethic which works against another stereotype that black people are lazy. They also know not to cross certain lines as well.

Some of the artists/animators of Louder & Prouder that I discovered and mentioned in the video: •Phillip Light (Instagram @philliplight - instagram.com/philliplight?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= ) •Umaimah (Instagram @coloured_braids - instagram.com/coloured_braids?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= ) •Eastwood Wong (Instagram @eastwoodwong - instagram.com/eastwoodwong?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= ) Also the link to my video “Our Problematic Fave: The Proud Family” = th-cam.com/video/HPbNv6f1GrY/w-d-xo.html

Penny's friends are still fake and worse than before in this revival.
