Lately, I have been re-watching Gossip Girl on
Netflix (Yes, I’ve already watched the whole show once before. No judging.).
Now just let me tell you how much I like Gossip Girl, no wait scratch that
please, I LOVE Gossip Girl. Like everything about it. I love the character
development, the soundtracks, the clothes they wear, seriously like EVERYTHING.
But I guess even the best things have their flaws too.
The other day when I was watching it I forgot
how one of the characters, Chuck kind of like, pretty much tries to rape
another character, Jenny. AND THIS GUY IS ONE OF MY FAVORTIE CHARACTERS. And
this happens so early in the show that by the time the show is over we, as
viewers, totally forgot about it.
Some people may say that this adds to the
character development that we love so much in Gossip Girl but I don’t see it
that way. How can we so easily forget that Chuck tries to rape her? And later
Jenny is portrayed as being bad and Chuck suddenly becomes a little more human.
WHAT? How does that even work? Why does he get a second chance? Yes, Dan,
Jenny’s brother, does get mad and punch him but this whole deal isn’t ever
really talked about again and Chuck has no long term consequences for his
actions, besides a black eye.
