“1. Their incredibly outdated moral implications of having sex. I know these are high school–age characters, but…I was in high school once, and I can tell you that people had sex, and it wasn’t this life-altering thing as long as they were safe about it.
2. The idea that a heterosexual boy and girl couldn’t be best friends without there being sexual tension. Stupid.
3. This kind of relates to number one, but holy shit, why did everyone care so much that Jen had sex with her ex-boyfriend? It was like, ‘Ooo, the new girl has had sex! That defines her whole character!’ C’maaahhhn!
4. The blatant anti-gayness. They eventually had a gay character, but they spent the entire first season making a joke about Pacey’s brother being gay, which is never actually confirmed till the series finale, and it’s almost treated as a joke.
5. The ‘nice guy’ trope. Dawson is supposedly the ‘nice nerdy boy next door,’ yet he constantly gaslights and stalks his love interests. Then he lashes out and sulks like a petulant child anytime his affections are denied.
6. Bisexual erasure. Jack starts out dating Joey — in fact, he pretty persistently pursued her. It’s pretty clear he was into her. But then he discovers he likes men. So, what then? His feelings for Joey weren’t real? Not to mention, he makes out with Abbey soon after. But he can’t possibly be bisexual, right? Nah. Just gay and confused.”
