Me after finishing all 5 seasons of Daria and reflecting on all the feminist vibes and how much has changed and how little has changed.pic.twitter.com/xnaPB1LNI6

I own the dvds and recently rewatched the series. Lots of interesting dynamics (smart young women) but limitations too (lack of diversity).

Absolutely. Racism was barely touched. Mack and Jodie even referred to themselves as the token black characters in the homecoming parade ep!

Although I did like eps where Jodie talked about the pressure of being a WOC and model student

Yes that was good. Isolated moments are too few & far between. No other minorities. There's no kids with disability and no queer kids.

In one of the the movies Jane kisses a girl & reconsiders her sexuality but ultimately decides she doesn't want to think about this.

I was so disappointed by that part of the movie. The character who came onto her was made into someone we shouldn't like too.

It was also like she was ashamed? I didn't rewatch the movies this time but seem to remember it happened while Jane was away at an art camp

Yeah it was. And the woman who came onto her ignored her boundaries completely and talked to her as if Jane owed her intimacy.

Then the next day when Jane went to her wanting to talk about her sexuality the other woman ditched her and went off with the artist guy :(

I need to rewatch the movies because I don't remember that. That's super disappointing biphobia on top of invisibility of bisexuality.
