#especially when it's someone struggling with so much self-doubt and trauma as EJ

[haven-of-dusk]

It's still funny and sad to me that in the same episode we had an 18-19 year old who is working four jobs to like...live, and a 17 year old whose family is wealthy enough that he can consistently wear expensive brand clothes (I think, I don't know clothing that well) and they can send him and his boyfriend on a globe-trotting, multi-week vacation without really worrying about it.

And no one, including Ricky (the only Wildcat who definitely, undisputedly knows about EJ's situation) says anything about it.

I get it's a fun, campy, musical show that probably doesn't want to interrogate the wealth gap and the woes of capitalism, but those two situations placed so directly next to each other makes things kind of uncomfortable.
