Day 12: Haley James, Peyton Sawyer, and Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill in a Basketball AU (aka the ladies are the basketball players in the show, instead of the boys)
Or as I like to call it, the Lady Ravens AU

I posted this on twitter too but I wanna expand on it here so I saw someone saying that all hilarie, sophia and joy do on the drama queens podcast is complain about everything... you do know that all of them, ESPECIALLY hilarie, were sexually harassed by their boss for years so I think they've earned the right to say how uncomfortable they felt on the show. they're allowed to have a space now to talk about their experiences, and you're not seriously telling me you can't rewatch it and see the number of unnecessary underwear/bikini/sexy outfit/sexy position shots that were included because it's OBVIOUS. once you notice it, and factor in that man's behaviour, certain scenes do become uncomfortable to watch, and it is weird to have peyton changing or brooke half naked when there's no reason for it other than to appeal to men.
also, they're allowed to say a plotline doesn't make sense or they don't feel a character would say/do that. viewers say it all the time and they're experiencing it for the first time as viewers, so they're seeing it differently now. I complain about this line or that moment, and they can do the same too. just because they got paid to act it in that way doesn't mean they necessarily agree with it in the context of the whole episode, or now they see it again they might wish they'd done a different take on it.
if you honestly expected them to sit there and happily talk about their time on the show and not criticise anything or anyone then I'm sorry but that's unrealistic given their situation. hilarie left the show because of that man she's not exactly going to start praising him now or saying how amazing he was to work for. sophia was sexualised to a point she had to fight for her outfit choices just to feel like a person and not an object. joy was made to feel unattractive and motherly in her mid-twenties just because she was married in real life. they were pitted against each other from the start, so it's no wonder they don't have the fondest memories of this working environment.
I'm not saying I agree with every comment they make regarding the plot/characters, but they're allowed to have opinions without it changing canon. you don't have to listen if you don't want to, but let them talk freely about what that time means to them, even if it's not all happy memories or stories. this is their time to tell the truth and explain their feelings, no matter how hard it may be to hear
