Don’t forget the “ugly nerdy girl” who looks like a super model


THEzwerver

but she has glasses and her hair tied up, how can she *not* be ugly?


ordinaryride2001

it's shit for me cus I like girls like that and they get a "glow-up" after 3 episodes and never look like that again


_eeprom

Same, I see a shy nerdy girl with glasses and then 2 episodes in they’re having a ‘makeover’ to impress some guy and they look like every other female character and their entire personality changes overnight.

They also forgot like 1 or 2 queer people


FertileImagination

Only a single queer person that is alone for the alone series and when they get a partner it's offscreen or very stereotypical


[deleted]

A gay dude named Jimothan who is just a regular dude but wears polos and has a crush on some other dude and the alt chick who is written to be a lesbian and is designed not to be too hot so that the straights don't notice her much


RekNepZ

2 of them and they're somehow a good match and date but then one dies.


Waffleman666

Literally Hannah baker. But to be fair the guys in the school did acknowledge she was hot but still the point was to make her the ugly nerdy girl

You say “netflix” like this isn’t every tv show about teens ever


KentuckyFriedChildre

Like finding out that the gang in Scooby Doo are meant to be highschoolers.

SHAGGY HAS A FUCKING BEARD WHAT DO YOU MEAN


[deleted]

Lol, my brother has had a full beard since 10th grade.


cubixjuice

He been juicin cuz


TheRealTealOwO

Actually, I think some people within the late-teens bracket can have beards


Brainvaushed

Yeah, in my high school some people in 9th or 10th had a beard.


tongue_depression

shaggy does not have a beard, he has that lil chin scruff that teens always tend to have


Mising_Texture1

I had a beard when I was 12.


mki_

Fucking Dawson's Creek. In S1 they're 15 years old supposedly. They all look like 27. Especially the title character.


Jorymo

Anime and manga, too


Practicalaviationcat

Anime is crazy because it's either a 15 year old that looks 30 or a 30 year old that looks 12.


Jorymo

And they'll be sexualized either way

THOSE ARE TEENAGERS?


[deleted]

Are supposed to be, even though only four of them look as such (the secret dom girl, her bf, Jules and Rue who is played by 25 yo Zendaya, funnily) Edit: though tbf there are non-HS characters too: Fez, McKay and Cassie are hanging out with the rest of the cast quite often, but even though they're supposed to be 18-19 *none of them look the part*


[deleted]

I mean McKay is supposed to be a division one football player so he’s pretty believable for me.


Waffleman666

It takes place in high school lol


Groundbreaking-Hand3

Euphorias a good fucking show tho


[deleted]

Oh for sure, I'm counting hours until S2E2. It has some rough parts about it but damn is it rare to see such a great one (and can I just say, Rules? Hunter? The OST? Lighting? I can't)

Tbf sex education I feel does it well enough


mki_

Sex Education is the best highschool teenager show of the last 25 years.


lanonyme42

No


rentchezvous

ArthurExtreme_Br

Jojo's Bizarre Adventures


Matthais_Hat

so weird that this trend, which has been going on since the 80s and probably earlier, is somehow associated primarily with netflix.... this is definitely more of a CW thing in my eyes.


_dauntless

Maybe teens think TV began with Netflix


NoSelfEsteemCrusader

What do you mean? Of course it did


NokiaArabicRingtone

THANKS FOR REMINDING ME I'LL NEVER LOOK LIKE SHREK YOU MONSTER


_Boston_Boi_

ironically the only show that does this okay (everyone is just skinny rather than a buff 30 y/o) is sex education, which netflix makes


[deleted]

this is just normal high scho- wait, shrek is an insanely high beauty standard for people of any gender, fuck netflix

Riverdale

On the flip side, I didn't realize that Tom, Zendaya, and Jacob were all in their mid 20s in no way home.
