#I was satisfied with how things ended up with her in t9s tho

I don't hate Donna but I hate what they did with her character, she in seasons 7 and 8 is a far cry from the girl she was in the first three seasons. I mean they had her do nothing with her life, just sit around in Point Place and wait for Eric for NO REASON when in the early seasons she was always talking about how she doesn't want to stay there, she wants to get out and see the world and study in Europe. It was literally the reason she and Eric broke up and then it's just never mentioned again?? After that they always just said that they broke up because she wouldn't accept his ring when it was so much deeper than that. It is never even mentioned why she chose not to apply to colleges outside of Wisconsin, when her dream was always to get out. Could be her parents' financial problems but we don't know. And then she just chooses to not even go to the university of Wisconsin, because she can't stand to be away from Eric! Sorry for the rant I just hate how they butchered her character

First of all, no need to be sorry. You can rant in my inbox anytime you want.

Second, I definitely agree. As a Donna stan, it pains me how the writers dropped the ball on her character. And until you just mentioned it, I didn’t think that deep about the E/D breakup but you’re right. Donna had always wanted to leave Point Place to find herself, but in s7, nothing happened??? She and Eric just…hanging out and not doing shit. (I still maintain that in s7, E/D were just fuck buddies who call themselves bf/gf.) I like that Eric got to go to Africa and do stuff but I also wish Donna got to leave as well. S8 would’ve been so much better if she had just went traveling and explored the world because that’s what she wanted. But instead she stops going to college because of a boy and is doing whatever with Randy (who is literally just there to replace Eric).

I just…I love Donna so much and she deserved better but with those sexist writers handling the show, she never would’ve stood a chance :(
