i really snjoy reading your opinions on wtfock (i may have scrolled through your posts tonread your tags) and holy shit i agree 100% with you! bless you for being brave enough to share your opinion!
awww anon, this was a sweet msg to come back to, thank you! the fact that you scrolled through my posts to read *my* tags and *my* opinions….me???….you flatter me 😌 my tags are often so rambly and messy bc i have Thoughts but i don’t always know how to make sense of them but sometimes i just GOTTA so then that happens. and i appreciate being called brave but lol i’m really not! notice how i share my opinion/crticize/rant in the tags instead of making my own posts…i’m a wuss who can’t handle confrontations, but still has things to say and a desire to vent, so rambling in the tags is my solution, haha. i just know a lot of my opinions are probably unpopular and controversial and i don’t want to piss anyone off with my negativity. plus i’m sure i’ll be accused of being a skam purist who hates on the remakes just for the sake of hating, which is untrue bc i *did* try to like the remakes, and fact is i *do* love some of them, BUT it’s also true bc i’m 100% a skam pursit when it comes to s3. say what you will about all the other seasons, but og s3 is PERFECTION in every way, and aside from maybe a thing or two i wouldn’t change ANYTHING about it, so if you’re gonna copy/paste it OR make changes then hell yeah i’m gonna have Thoughts about it, and don’t be surprised if they’re not positive ones!
(also if i’m already here, let me just say regarding the last two clips - EEK. i’ve said in another post how i hate that they broke this scene into 2 clips bc it feels unnecessary and only for shock value and drama. in general i don’t like how DARK and DEPRESSING they’re making out this story to be, there really wasn’t any need to see 3 mins of robbe trying to have sex with a girl, he has internalized homophobia WE GET IT. we got it when isak made out with emma in front of his friends and pulled away when she tried to blow him in the bathroom once they were gone; we got it when matteo pulled away from sara and offered to watch a movie together instead or when he flinched when she touched his back and ran out of there. THEY DON’T NEED TO GO THIS HARD for the viewers to get it!!! and blah blah realism blah blah this isn’t what s3 is supposed to be about!!! i can’t stress enough how the message of s3 is HOPE. i’m not lgbt so obviously i’ll never know what it’s like for them, but i’ve had (and have) shit going on in my life and escapism for me is watching something that cheers me up and makes me happy. and maybe i’m wrong, but i think a lot of lgbt people would rather watch something that comforts and gives them hope instead of a rerun of their real life. i know i would. and that’s what was so beautiful about og, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, there was angst and difficult times, but there was always a good balance b/w the angst and the fluff, and even being isak’s safe haven had a lot to do with it. 
i saw someone saying earlier something about how they love what wtfock is doing with robbe’s internalized homophobia bc it’s more realistic/better than even fixing isak’s internalized homophobia, which made me GROAN out loud bc THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. even didn’t FIX anything, isak CLEARLY still suffers from it even AFTER getting together with even (the first time) - e.g. his fear when emma calls him ‘gay’ in the middle of the party; the pride talk with eskild; his nerves before and during his coming out scene to jonas; same with magnus and mahdi and ‘i’m not gay….ok maybe a little bit gay…’; i could go on and on. the point is, even didn’t FIX anything, but he *did* make things EASIER and BETTER and he *did* give him that push he needed in order to start his journey to self acceptance. that’s why their first kiss was such a PIVOTAL MOMENT for isak!!! the water, the 21:21, the REBIRTH SYMBOLISM, isak initiating the kiss….it was isak FINALLY letting himself be his REAL SELF for the FIRST TIME. it was his first real step into accepting himself, and once that happened, despite his internalized homophobia not magically going away, despite all his worries and fears, he never looked back. he didn’t try to fight who he really was anymore and force himself to act straight again. bc meeting even changed his life and gave him HOPE. just like isak’s and even’s story did to so many other people. what wtfock did after robbe’s and sander’s first kiss is the complete opposite. they missed the whole point of the season and i hate it). (also, i have no idea whether or not they’re planning on keeping the mi storyline, but if they are…..ooof, this will make everything up until now even worse).
ANYWAY you didn’t ask for this, i’m sorry! i just had to vent somewhere, so ty for providing me with the opportunity. and ty again for caring about my opinion at all 😊
