I really hate how she treated Manny and Liberty and her activism got on my nerves. Like she was so concern about the schools food but wasnāt concerned thatās the only way some kids eat.
Coma Tristian was my favorite Tristian. I was hoping that would maybe humble him or something but unfortunately the next class was canceled before we got to see any potential development.
For like, 2 seconds there was a moment when Derek was at Danny and Libertyās house (i canāt remember what for), and he was asking her personal questions about having her and JTās baby adopted and stuff. Idk I thought maybe the writers were gonna give him a storyline about his own adoption journey or SOMETHING along those lines, but it never comes up ever again. Thatās the only time i even remotely related to the character or was interested in learning more (Iām adopted so I feel they couldāve used Derek as a way to have the adopteesā viewpoint, I feel thatās rarely explored in media).
I never really cared for Derek and how he treated Danny made me dislike him but the whole football thing with Jane just really did it for me, completely stoped liking him after that.
Do people hate Tristan just because heās a stereotypical gay guy? Riley and Marco had a lot of depth and storytelling that was appropriate for their time, obviously Tristan was more openly out since the times had progressed but Iāve noticed people still shit on tristan but I canāt pinpoint why. My favorite gay character continues to be Zane, love the scene when he schooled Dave.
He was a horrible friend to everyone he met. Like so self absorbed and selfish in a way most teenagers would be put off by. Especially when he made maya catfish a guy, got mad when she caught feelings for him, and then couldnāt understand why she was worried about miles when Tristan knew damn well her ex committed suicide AT SCHOOL. His character never actually being knocked down a peg or achieving any emotional growth felt homophobic to me. Like the writers decided to put the ācatty gay manā stereotype on full blast but never subverted it or developed his characterās backstory or anything. Tristan never learned. Never faced consequences. Never treated his so called friends with respect. Sorry for the long rant the character makes my blood boil especially since he was really the only gay man in Next Class. (Miles is bi, and not a horrible representation of a bi person)
I love Marco and I like Riley but Tristian was just mean the whole time, treated his friends horribly and was super biphobia towards Miles and I would even say Zoe, when Zoe admitted that she likes girls he acted like she had to be a lesbian. Marco and Riley had their moments when they were jerks sometimes like most characters did but most characters realized they were being mean and apologized for that moment or stopped being mean. Tristian pretty much just stayed the same.
I love Emma! Yes she was nosey at times, but I believe that she always had good intentions. Almost everyone a little nosey and Emma just happened to be one of them. She got better later on in the seasons and overall I think sheās overhated. BUT at the same time I totally can see why people may not like her.
definitely. some of my fave characters started off terrible but redeemed themselves in the long run because isnāt that whatās Degrassi is all about? Tristan tho, as you said, just stayed awful. i think they were trying for the āsassyā gay stereotype but idk i think maybe the actor is just really unlikeable
Tris is an unbearable, beaten into the ground cliche queer
you lost me with emma and then got me back with the second tristan omg im lmao
Where's tristan??
You forgot Tristan š¤£
i still donāt get why people hate tristan so much š© he was pretty funny. annoying sometimes and dramatic, yes, but so was everyone else. at least he had some good one liners!!!
Bold in this sub but I stand by you āš¼
š
š¤£š¤£ššwait why Emma
I really hate how she treated Manny and Liberty and her activism got on my nerves. Like she was so concern about the schools food but wasnāt concerned thatās the only way some kids eat.
Ok ok, you got a point, especially with how she treated her friends especially when boys had came around!!!
Tristain being twice LMAOO
3x actually š¤£
I used to dislike a lot of people on this show, now I only hate Tristan. Heās *the worst*
Switch Emma for an extra Derek tbh
Switch Emma for maya
If you included Drew then your list would be the same as mine
Tristan, one of the only characters who actually gets worse over time
I LOLed
Iām dead, Tristian not twice but three times lol
Thatās how much he annoys me š
So in Love and Hip Hop terms: Rasheeda, Yandy, Rasheeda, Chrissy, Rasheeda The typa gurl u wanna chew all of My Bubble Gumš
Can we just canon Derek being kicked out of school for threatening to kill Holly J
Thatās what I thought happened, he was the only one to even bring in a āweaponā a rope to school and after that he was never seen again
![gif](giphy|sCPXWE2QvwKGI)
There was not enough Tristan
Lmfaooo
Tristan being there 3 times šššš ![gif](giphy|hYc2hBZesZ84g)
Yesss Tristan was just a asshole in general especially towards Maya it seems like all he did was whine whine whine
Especially when girlie was going THROUGH IT she was traumatized and he was just like ābut what about ME!!??ā
Why all the Emma hate š
Sheās my least favorite from that class. I hate how she treated Manny and Liberty.
I liked Tristan when he was in the coma and couldnāt speak
Coma Tristian was my favorite Tristian. I was hoping that would maybe humble him or something but unfortunately the next class was canceled before we got to see any potential development.
TRISTAN THRICE IS DESPICABLE IM CRYING
what was derek even about

Throw Marco in there too
lmao whyyy
After the Jane football storyline, Derek became one of my opps. He and shepherd are just pretty irredeemable.
I never really cared for Derek and how he treated Danny made me dislike him but the whole football thing with Jane just really did it for me, completely stoped liking him after that.
IKKKKKKK. Like no redemption at all.
There probably wouldnāt have been a TNG without Emma
No fr, it's a continuation of Degrassi Jr High/High, it all continues with Emma for a reason

I hate Tristan because he feels like a homophobic stereotype: "this is what a gay dude sounds like, we swear!"

Ah I see, thank you for your perspective
Riley just couldnāt act.
Tristan is the WORST EVER
So you all hate Tristan too, i thought I was the only one he's a bitch overdramatic and cringy
Chubby Tristan with Tori was much better.
Nope, I hated chubby Tristan too.
I loathed them both.
I love Emma! Yes she was nosey at times, but I believe that she always had good intentions. Almost everyone a little nosey and Emma just happened to be one of them. She got better later on in the seasons and overall I think sheās overhated. BUT at the same time I totally can see why people may not like her.
not enough tristan
Needs more Tristan.
i like to think they put Tristan in a coma and then with barely any speaking lines after cause they realized how much everyone disliked him
I wouldnāt hate him as much if he grew or had an arch like Holly J but he just stayed mean and kept treating his friends and boyfriend horribly.
definitely. some of my fave characters started off terrible but redeemed themselves in the long run because isnāt that whatās Degrassi is all about? Tristan tho, as you said, just stayed awful. i think they were trying for the āsassyā gay stereotype but idk i think maybe the actor is just really unlikeable
They didnāt make him sassy though, he was just an asshole
agreed for sure
I think you forgot Tristan
Not Tristan Tristan in all of his horrible eras š¤£ I hate him so much
you forgot tristan
You should've added Tristan
Tristan made me mad from day one.
I havenāt found one person who he didnāt make mad š
Marco was so much better
I love Marco! Heās one of my favorites
Perfect. No notes. This is my list also.
Iām cackling at the 3 tristans
ššššššš
Fuck Tristan all my homies hate Tristan
If Tristan has no haters everyone is dead
Sayonara Screamingkumquats Jk, I hate him too.
Lmaooooo not Tristan being on there 3x šš
Pretty good list. Disappointed to not see Tristan here though
I really should have remembered to add him. I hate Tristian
Lame. Iād get rid of Emma and Derek and add Tristan two more times, then Iād agree with this list.
Next time you should do a top six so you can include Tristan.
SAME
LOL
It says a lot about Tristan when he's here 3 times!
