#PoorJoe is giving #PoorJim a run for his money... I thought this show was sloppy before, it's sloppier every week... chillle. Joe said I ain't Diana I need 5x that and a house...

So you mean to tell me our Joe’s soul found Joe 2 because he jumped to his death because of homophobia ? Oh. Oh. This show is always running at us with a machete like, GIRL.

Jo: You promised me you wouldn't get bees again.

Squad from a distance: Just open it

The problem with WB/CW is that they much like many didn’t think about Black women. Black women votes and views will always push a show to the forefront.

Let us not forget ABCFam show Twisted that got cancelled after they tried to take away the main characters black love interest and put him (man of color) with a w.hite woman because racists were upset they weren’t together. They even had dumass hashtags talking about PoorJo. I mean ask Sleepy Hollow what happened when they played Abbie

We’ve seen it time and time again. They use Black actresses for promo and to draw in viewers but at the first available opportunity they throw her under the bus and try and strip her character’s importance away while shoving her to the background to prop up other uninteresting (usually white) characters.

Dacey!!!! Our Tuesday nights were seeding. Remember #PoorJo? Good times. Lol

The few weeks we had good content on that show, were probably the two best weeks i have ever had participating in fandom.

Blackgirl fandom spaces just hit differently, and I miss them.

Which real talk all you’re doing when you use that mean alpha negress trope to make me feel bad for #PoorJo is making me root for the black girl even more.

I'm bored waiting for my job to start, hence the inconsequential thoughts such as, I kind of miss the hashtags that ABC Fam did. I don't see Freeform doing them, unless I am just not paying attention.

They were just so obvious and kind of lame that it made me laugh.

I remember the SAB ones. #Daphnedumped and #Emmettapologizes.

Or the infamous #PoorJo from Twisted.

Actually, that should be my next job. A hashtag creator. Sounds like fun.

[seouldreams14]

do you ever think about how twisted had so much potential and how it could’ve been amazing if they hadn’t made it all about jo and her whiny bitch ass

Hey jo, sorry i hurt you, But, they say love is a virtue, don't they?

Happy Halloween... An illustration I created for a campfire story called POOR JOE Poor Joe Description Directions for Story: Guests sit in a circle on floor; lights are off except for the flashlight Narrator reads by. Lay each item to be passed in a separate bowl, and then pass to the next person. While guests pass an item, Narrator holds the flashlight underneath his chin to give his face a scary look. Poor Joe. He should have stayed home on that Halloween night. But out he went in the dark, dark night. A goblin was watching Joe walk 'cross the land. He swooped down beside him, and snatched off his hand! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes cold stuffed, rubber glove to person next to him. It continues being passed around until it returns to Narrator who sets it down and then continues with story.) He shivered and shook and grew oh so cold. He fell when he ran, 'cause he lost all his toes! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes 10 small pieces of peeled carrots of different sizes) A black cat crossed his path giving Joe such a scare. He threw back his head and off came his hair! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes a wig.) Hobbling along, one hand on a cane, Joe tried hard to think, but oops! -- No more brains! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes cold, cooked spaghetti.) Oh no, I can't think, but at least I can hear, If witches or goblins should now reappear." So Joe kept on going -- laden with fear, but he shook as he walked, and off fell his ear! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes dried apricot.) And there in the distance his house he could spy, but just for a second...for out popped his eyes! Poor Joe. (Narrator passes two peeled, green grapes.) He yelled and he screamed, and he screamed and he yelled, hoping that someone would be there to tell. So he took a deep breath: his patience was w #illustration #illustrator #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #design #house #spookey #halloween #candy #moon #campfirestory #campfire #poorjoe #cartoonhouse #joe #cartoon #weloveillustration #weloveillustrations #graphicdesigncentral #graphicdesignersclub #logobrainy #logonew #graphicgang #graphicsmob @weloveillustration @graphicgang @gfx.mob @graphicdesignersclub @graphicdesigncentral @logonew @logobrainy

All the rage is flowing back into me....

Although I'm fuzzy on the details now, I remember watching the whole season live (of course split into 1A and 1B with the midseason break in between) AND being on Tumblr witnessing both the show and fandom's fuckery throughout. This experience actually woke me up to a lot of the things you've mentioned above and even the Bonnie Bennett/BonKai discourse I've seen from you and others on this site - never before was I really involved in fandom business so...yeah, that definitely hit me.

It's funny how I liked Jo in the beginning. Totally agree that she was very self-absorbed even then and considering her archetype (loner loser), I'd thought she'd at least stay in a positive light for me since I could relate closer to that than Lacey, the popular girl (but I was immediately drawn to her, I decided to watch because of Kylie). I absolutely couldn't stand Jo by 1B, let alone the series' end. And yes, for all those reasons above - she literally whined about everything. Even things that didn't even happen to her! She was so self-serving which would have been fine if the show and the blind Jo fans weren't #PoorJo every damn scene. There was honestly no reason she was a loner loser either...like??? And it's not like the show deemed her 'Hollywood Ugly' for her to be an outcast like that. It was self-imposed yet we were supposed to feel sorry for her constantly? I'm actually glad I don't remember the details well now because I remember live blogging (or tweeting) and being so done. 😂

Kylie and Avan's chemistry was a force to be reckoned with. Besides the bullshit dialogue, Lacey was also made to appear less often in 1B...like really. Lacey found half the clues and wasn't her father (?) or maybe another relative supposedly involved with Danny's father at some later point...yet all the attention was on the Mastersons. Not even just Jo, but wasn't her mother and Danny's father exposed to be in some type of affair or scandal, LOL? Doing stuff like this just to insert people no one even cared about just to whitewash everything. You can tell that Twisted picked up popularity in its first half only for the writers to do some racist damage control to center Jo and her boring family in place of Lacy but also Danny! If anything, Danny and his family should have been primary with the girls as secondary if the writers truly struggled with maintaining a balanced trio/love triangle. The only satisfying thing is that 'we' got this show cancelled. I remember all the ship wars and Jo stans begging people to watch before it got cancelled...

Your recent Lacey/Dacey posts/reblogs are both amazing and awful. LOL Awful only because it's starting to resurface my bitterness from how illogical and racist that show ended up being. /facepalm Twisted is actually the reason I sworn off ABC Family (now FreeForm) for good. 😂 But it's cool how we both watched that show and was drawn to Dacey. I think Dacey was like my BonKai back then though I didn't get so obsessed with them like I did/do for BK now.

LOL! It isn’t really that surprising that we were drawn to Dacey - it was a ship that would draw in even in the most casual, non-racist viewer because it was so compelling. They were both interesting characters in their own right, and they had amazing chemistry. It’s just incredible how illogical racism is - that they chose the least interesting, blandest character of the trio. I tried to rewatch the Pilot after I got your ask (I’ve only been watching the Dacey moments on Youtube) and I had to switch it off when I got to the scene where Jo is railing on Danny about how her childhood was stolen from her. I mean - the girl from the upper middle class, white suburban, still-married-parents home is railing to the boy who spent his formative years in juvenile detention and returns to a single mother - about how her childhood was stolen! Meanwhile, we have Lacey as contrast and proof that yeah, it was Jo’s choice to let what happened to Danny derail her life. The same thing that happened to her, happened to Lacey but Lacey managed to rise above it and become a high school queen. 

(This is also part of my frustration with the racist fandom that hated Lacey and accused her of being disloyal/undeserving of Danny. Apart from the ickiness of Jo’s friendship = Jo deserving Danny and all the reverse Nice Guy logic of that, there’s also the absolute failure of understanding that Jo and Lacey were approaching a friendship with Danny with completely different stakes. Jo was already the loser loner. She had nowhere to go but up. Lacey actually had a lot to lose from being friends with Danny. It’s so easy to paint Jo as a better person when she’s risking nothing. The fact that the writers also indirectly implied this did not fail to escape my notice.)

I think it’s really interesting to look back and analyse the way I quickly fell hard for that ship — and the way about 5 episodes in, I started seeing all the warning signs that the showrunners were going to let me down hard. I think it was around the episode about Lacey’s sister’s birthday/ Lacey’s dad’s coming out — an episode that on paper, should have meant a lot of focus on Lacey and her family, but ended up being all about Jo. I mean, Lacey’s sister never even showed - on her own birthday!

By Episode 8, I was already checking out of the show. I was nauseated by the way they handled the sex tape storyline, but I wasn’t shocked. It already fit into the pattern that the show was establishing.

And yeah, it reminds me of how much I hate ABC Family. The way they treat Black characters is horrifying. I remember a couple of shows - Lying Game, Being Jane (I think that’s what it was called), where the first half of the season had a Black girl as a main cast member and she was unceremoniously dropped by the second half - with no explanation whatsoever. It was like if she literally disappeared from the story. They perfected this pattern of faux-inclusiveness where the show starts with a Black girl in the cast, and there might even be some overtures towards giving her a 3-D character/life/history - but by the second half, the show has been bleached White.
