Degrassi: School's Out (1992) || the first usages of "fuck" on Canadian television

we as a subculture (degrassi fans) need to bring back "broomhead"

It’s time to talk about Scott’s abuse and manipulation tactics he used against Kathleen. (This is not meant to be a guide to help people recognize abuse in relationships. It is an analysis of a fictional character done by someone who is not a professional in any way.)

The first thing he did was make Kathleen trust him. He told her how much he loved her, treated her with more respect than most of the upperclassmen did, and got her extravagant gifts.

Whenever he attacked her, he apologized profusely and basically bought her forgiveness.

He refused to let her talk to any of her male classmates, further isolating her.

He gaslit and emotionally abused her, convincing her that she didn’t have any talent for things she was passionate about.

He made her feel more loved than anyone else in her life (including her parents) so that she would come back to him.

He convinced her that he needed her, making her feel guilty for wanting to leave him.

And finally, he convinced her that she had no chance of being wanted by anyone else, putting down her personality and physical appearance.

I have a profound love for all things Degrassi. If you share that interest, then read this book.

School’s Out

“Tessa Campanelli?! You were fucking Tessa Campanelli?!”

once-in-a-blue-moon art post! there’s a lot of art in this one. I would guess the total time this took was about eight hours? disclaimer that I did completely cheat by choosing the characters myself, but the characters here were randomized from a list of 18, so!!

close-ups below the cut :)

Spike from degrassi jr high icons!!

I made these for me to use later down the line but anyone can!!

I don’t care if this gets my Tumblr account locked too but at this point, I don’t give a fuck. The Degrassi fandom has been flooded with racism and anti blackness since the beginning of time and it’s time I as a black fan expose all of these bastards for filth.

The primary user of the Degrassi No Context account enables racism in the community. Eeveepacini is a racist that uses her platform to enable racism in the community. Jocelyn (degrassikid) is racist and is actively being silent as one of her followers is harassing black fans in the community for holding her accountable for her moment of anti blackness towards me. Molaspacini is an associate of Eeveepacini and has shown an extreme lack of tone-deafness in regards to getting defensive whenever her favorite queens Lola and Frankie are dragged for their displays of anti blackness and like her besties DNC and Eevee, has had liked several tweets attempting to silence me and other black fans in the community for speaking about the racism black characters in the Degrassi fandom face.

This shit must end. I have to lock at least two of my Twitter accounts to protect myself from these people. I literally don’t feel safe actively participating in any online Degrassi community because of that fact that the biggest fans with the largest platforms in the fandom are anti black while daring to call themselves allies at the same time.

Oh and don’t bother to send me messages and asks attacking me in defense of these people because not only will I delete them, I’ll block you so talk to me nice 😍.
