#if theres anything else that is panphobic in the show that ive missed please let me know

It's totally understandable for people to not like Irene or some other actors for saying all the shitty stuff they have said in the past. And it's totally okay, of course, to not watch the show because of what the actors think and have said. However, that doesn't mean that the show itself is bad, or that it is panphobic, just because some actors are.

The main reasons why people think skames is panphobic(from what I've seen in here) is 1. Because Joana is bisexual and not pansexual(also some people say it's lesbophobic bc cris is bi), however the characters are bi because the actresses are bi, and I'd assume that if rizha were pan then Joana would be written as pan as well. And in my opinion at least, it's much better for bi actresses to play bi characters than so many straight actors playing lgbt+ characters, and I don't think it's fair to hate the lgbt actresses and characters (and the show)only based on their sexuality (also to note that there's not much bisexual representation in the skamverse anyway).

2. A lot of people have said that the show is panphobic because some characters are panphobic like cris and nora. While cris has never really spoken on pansexuality in any season, Nora has said that she thinks pansexuality and bisexuality are the same thing, and that's why people call her panphobic, however let's compare the scenes:

So obviously in both cases it's just (straight) teenagers trying to understand and compare sexualities. They are all saying what they know or what they think, but obviously nobody is sure of anything. Nothing is actually said in any malice. People are also saying that Nora should know better because she is a feminist etc. but that obviously doesn't mean she knows everything or that she's perfect. She is a teenager making an ignorant comment, just like after that when shes ignorant about mental illnesses. Also the entirety of season 3 was supposed to prove, amongst other things of course, that Nora isn't perfect, and that the fact that she is a proud feminist doesn't mean that her judgement is always perfect or that every opinion she has is correct.

What I'm saying is, actors of a show being panphobic doesn't mean that the show itself is panphobic. And while it's perfectly ok to not want to watch and support the show because of some of the actors, attacking them and other people involved in it and also the fans of the show is totally not okay. There are other actors and other people who work in the show that arent panphobic and shouldn't have to endure so much hate for something others did. And shaming and attacking the fans that the show has helped is not okay.

Of course skam españa isn't perfect, like any other remake isn't. Even the og is far from perfect. But the show isn't it's actors. It's understandable not to like it, but it's not okay to only think of the whole show as the actions of two of its actors.
