Teen Wolf is unbelievably unrealistic which is maddening because its a show about WEREWOLVES

I’ve watched up to season 3 episode 6 of teen wolf, not necessarily expecting it to be amazing because yanno, 2000s tv wasn’t generally amazing, but oh my god it’s worse than I thought it would be

The only real qualm I have with the first season is just that it’s weirdly sexual. Like all the time. The title cards are literally what are supposed to be sophomores in high school shirtless, which doesn’t sit right with me. Aside from that, it’s a teen drama werewolf show, and teen dramas involving supernatural beings aren’t really the best in cinema. I will say throughout the whole first season the only person I ever really cared about was Stiles, probably because I have a soft spot for “left behind sidekick friend,” but also because he’s genuinely funny sometimes. Jackson was a close second only because I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s bi, and also jerks are fun characters. All in all super weird but what drama isn’t.

Season 2 is where I lose my mind just a little bit. There were some fun plotlines, and the teasing of Lydia possibly being the Kanima was actually off-putting, because I was really set on it being her. It is weird how everyone interacts in this season given that they’re still, oh I don’t know, SOPHOMORES IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS MUCH SEX. I mean seriously, it’s like this show was made for 20 year olds who’ve never seen a tv in their life. They’re like “Oh yeah they’re in high school haha the good ole days” and simultaneously “Look at these literal children having sex isn’t that so fun.” It made me very uncomfortable. My likeable characters increased by 1 because I also have a soft spot for trauma boys, and Isaac just gets it piled on. Regardless, this is not the season I have the main issue with.

And now we get to where I currently am, and the reason I even made this, because I’M SORRY, AN ALPHA PACK????? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??? They made these arbitrary rules about werewolf packs, showed off the abilities of the levels, showed the transfer of power, and then had the auDACITY to end season 2 with the words “An Alpha pack.” *insert the extreme mental break I had over hearing those two stupid, stupid words together*. I feel like how Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off probably felt before going into Ferris’ house, because I can’t deal with this crap. Not only did the show runners decide an alpha pack, which given the previous descriptions of packs from the resident expert Derek Hale shouldn’t even exist, was a good idea, they spat in my face with the words Demon Wolf.                                 I’ve never felt more insulted in my life. The delivery wasn’t even clever, it was an old guy yelling “I AM THE DEMON WOOOOLF”  I N T O  T H E  S K Y. Another thing about the alpha pack that bugs me is that weird twin dynamic they have where they both turn into one big werewolf, which I guess is creative, but also objectively bad and weird, although I’ll give them props for making one of them gay so Danny can have a love interest, which even supernatural couldn’t do until the last season. 

Above all, the biggest, definitely not most important, but most mind-rotting thing  watched in season 3, was this exchange:

Lydia is admiring all the freshmen or “fresh men” as she says it. Allison points out that they are “fresh boys” and are age 14. Lydia dismisses this saying some are more mature than others. Allison points out that they can be single and take the time to focus on themselves. Lydia says she doesn’t want a boyfriend she wants a distraction.

Let me remind you that the main cast are juniors in high school at this point in the show, and if you still see nothing incredibly weird about this exchange, let me also remind you that those “fresh men” are coming from middle school. They were just in 8th grade, and Lydia, who is at least 16 or 17 at this point, thinks they are worthy of a distraction. I’m not sure about anyone else, but when I was junior, you couldn’t PAY me to admire, nonetheless date a freshman. This entire exchange is the exact reason why I really can’t stand this show most of the time. It expects you to put aside all belief that this isn’t a normal high school, while also throwing weird perverted shit into their dialogue. And these are only the major things I remember. 

Anyways, I might keep doing this, I might not, but I do know it’ll be a cold day in hell when I attempt to keep watching Teen Wolf. Sorry Stiles and Isaac, but I need to maintain my sanity.

Charities/organisations to avoid:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

Put this everywhere.

Here’s to all my boys with love handles, stretch marks, ribs that show, who feel they are too big or too small, who feel “unmanly,” who have cellulite, who can’t grow facial hair, who can’t seem to gain weight or lose it, who feel “too short” or wish they looked like a male model. Y'all matter. Love you. 💕
