So many things bother me about the Yasmine/Demetri subplot. Like, this was a girl who ruthlessly bullied everyone, including Demetri, but especially Aisha. So the fact that they had time to write in a shitty undeveloped romance between Demetri and Yasmine, but supposedly couldn’t find room in the script for Aisha? It’s bullshit, and honestly kind of offensive. And then there’s the actual relationship itself. Like, Yasmine did not get a redemption. She felt guilty sure, but she didn’t stop being a bitch to everyone around her, she didn’t get any character development or growth. She was treated narratively as nothing but a human prop to Demetri’s arc. And like, I get that she’s a minor character, they’re not going to fully flesh her out. And truthfully I dont want them to, I like her character as is! But can the writers please stop treating the female characters in this show as nothing but tools to serve the male characters’ development?
