Drucks comment under the newest clip:

To say I'm disappointed is an massive understatement. To say Mailin and Zoe decided against reporting Ben is the most lazy and harmful excuse ever. Victims of SA can and should always have the choice to report or not BUT Mailin and Zoe aren't real people, their are characters in a show that's broadcasted to many other teens that might go through such a situation. They are supposed to show "the right" thing to do and the right thing to do is to go to the police. A lot of victims are scared to do it and will never press charges upon their abusers, this season should've shown that it's okay to do, that victims should speak up and be heard. But no, all Druck did was let an abuser get away without ANY consequences. He clearly didn't mean the apology and deleting a picture won't solve the problem (he sent it to others that clearly didn't see anything wrong with it, he could easily get the picture back). They paint this situation as a "win" for the girls but it's so so obviously not.

I already thought this "revenge" was going to be bad but this is even worse than I thought. Fuck the Druck writers, honestly, this is bullshit.

#that was fucking terrible #and this makes it worse?! #also they never seriously disciussed it as an option #it was just obvious that wasn’t gonna happen #and that picture is already going around it makes no difference that this one guy deleted it #holy shit this is so bad #druck

This Druck season isn't bad because Mailin is a straight, white, cisgender, allosexual, neurotypical wealthy girl.

It's bad because the writing is atrocious.

We're just used as a fandom to justifying badly written seasons because they focus on minority characters (esp if they're light-skinned boys/amab people who love boys). Case in point: Druck s7, which also fumbled every topic it presented.

Eva Mohn's season in Skam focused on a straight, white, cisgender, allosexual, neurotypical wealthy girl, but it can't even be spoken about in the same sentence as Mailin's season, because Eva's season actually is impeccably written, acted and directed. This season is bad because it's bad, and if it was good but still focused on an Eva type, some people would've still complained that it wasn't gay, for sure, but the season would still be good.

And this season was written badly from the very first clip, it's not like we needed to be 9 weeks into the season to tell that the writing was bad. Already in week 1 characters were behaving inexplicably, out of character compared to previous seasons, or behaving randomly to justify jumping to the next plot point. Like the cashqueens talking about sex for the first two clips and then never again.

I‘m sorry, Finn, but you participated in the sex?! (Even though presumably you should know better than whatever happened in that scene since you‘ve had sex before otherwise I am so sorry, Zoe, if that’s what he always does) Also, you dumped Mailin after some dickhead shared her nude pictures!

the writing style of the hunger games is addictive and that’s a huge part of the appeal of the novels that didn’t get translated to the screen. i always think about the stephanie meyer (lol) quote on the hunger games book where she says “i couldn’t put this book down i had to take it out to dinner and keep reading it” and i mean, so true bestie stephanie, but here’s why.

it’s because every chapter ends in a cliffhanger. and i’m not kidding when i say that it is so flawlessly paced that you can’t put it down, but those beats are so crucial to why the book is so amazing to read. think of the end of the literal first chapter of the book: “it’s primrose everdeen.” that is a BOMB that she drops in that first chapter, and after the introduction, you as the reader are as blown away as katniss. so, you can’t help but turn the page and keep reading!! because you HAVE to know what happens next. and how does the second chapter end? like this: “of course, the odds have not been very dependable of late.” you, the reader, are instantly thinking, oh my god, what is going to happen? are the odds going to be in her favor? is she going to have to kill peeta? you HAVE to know. so you turn the page.

the reason this works so well is because suzanne collins wrote for television and you can tell. it is my personal belief that thg should have been adapted for television and not into films, because missing those beats, even just the white space of the page, i think fundamentally warps the pacing and the structure of the novels. i know i go on and on and on about the “because she came here with me” and “if it weren’t for the baby” lines but seriously this is why peeta is a media genius, it’s because suzanne COLLINS is a media genius. can you imagine watching that on television and the screen just cuts to black and goes to commercial or the episode ends and you have to wait to see what happens next?? it’s GENIUS

furthermore, the hunger games series as a whole is divided into a trilogy, but within that, divided into three sections each. and each section ends with an even bigger cliffhanger than the last. i see these, in the world of television, as mini season breaks within the larger three “seasons” of the show (that being the whole trilogy). here are the first three endings of all the sections. imagine you’re watching this on television and these lines drop, and then you have to wait several more weeks for the next installment. you would be climbing the walls for it. part 1 (the tributes): “peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. “because. because. she came here with me.” part 2 (the games): “before i can stop myself, i call out peeta’s name.” part 3 (the victor) (the end of the book): “i take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when i will finally have to let go.” those are ALL cliffhangers and make it impossible to stop reading.

(also, we can talk about the fact that all three of those beats are focused on peeta, the one who seems to most intrinsically understand dramatic timing and using his words to create a narrative.)

anyway that is why it is my personal and impassioned belief that the hunger games should have been adapted for television rather than film, because it would have been far more in keeping with the spirit, tone, and pacing of the novels to adapt it into a serialized form rather than a 2 hour film.

hey! i saw your tags, and no they’re not doing the same season. in skam france the main got raped by her bf, she came to terms with that and told her bf who didn’t take it seriously. she sticked signs in front of the school saying he raed her and as revenge he leaked her nudes. in druck, mailin took pictures of her boobs and sent them to an asshole because she felt insecure? tbh it’s still unclear and he spread it around the school not saying it was her but another student

Aah, thank you so much for explaining! Comments I’m seeing on Skam France kinda make me wanna catch up with that one.
