Tv tropes that 70s show gay kids

Anybody else find Donna to be a bit of a bitch in the episode 'Backstage Pass'? First, she doesn't have time to be with her boyfriend because of her job, and that's totally understandable. So she makes it up to him by taking him to a Ted Nugent concert.

But then at the end of the concert, Eric and Donna get one backstage pass, and Donna decides to go. She tells him she'll be right back, but instead hangs out with Ted Nugent. And when Eric and Donna meet back up, Eric tells Donna how crappy his night was and she gets pissed off at him!

And then, she talks about how important it was for her becausera she got to interview Ted Nugent and she works at a radio stationbut she didn't think about interviewing him until he offered, and even after the interview, she just stayed with him.

Are you what they call gay?

And Eric is willing to let go of the incident if she feels sorry she doesn't have to apologize, but instead she tells him she's not sorry, and after Hyde and Fez show up, rudely asks Eric if they can leave. I love Donna, but she was a bitch in this episode. Till then, do what you want!

Well, it makes sense that she was. It was a build-up to the breakup episode. The break up episode makes it even worse! As Eric wants to make a certain level of commitment teenage promise ring, not exactly earth shattering stuff really Donna spends the rest of the episode fantasizing about how he'll hold her back in her quest for some type of greatness.

Not because he says he will, mind you, when she brings up things she'd like to do later in life he basically says "hey sure, but when you picture yourself doing those things we're together right? So even though Eric up to that point has pretty much bent to her will at every turn Donna believes it won't work out because she just so great at life itself he couldn't possibly do anything but drag her down long term.

Keep in mind at this point it's never shown that Eric does poorly in school or that he's anything other than a bit of a social misfit who gets good marks all the time, with every bit the same potential as Donna. And after she drops Eric, the lead weight that would drag her down, she picks up Casey Kelso, a character who embodies everything she claims to have wanted to avoid in her tv tropes that 70s show gay kids with Eric.

She proceeds to screw up her exalted future as quickly as possible, culminating in cutting class to get drunker than any other character to date, while Casey, her date was stone cold sober. Classy Lady indeed. Yes, she and even Eric's family don't make me feel like they were equal in their relationship.

Was anyone else bothered by the episode "Donna's Story"? To give a summary: Donna writes and submits a story to the school newspaper highlighting all of the bad things and problems they had in their relationship up to the breakup and students at the school start harassing Eric for it.

When he brings the genuine concern up to her, she insists that it's "just a story" and that the students would certainly be able to tell that. Cue a group of students harassing Eric right in front of her as an obvious result of the story, which Donna shrugs off.

Eric responds by writing and submitting his own ex-bashing story to the paper and gets called out on it for "being a vindictive ass" when Donna wrote her story to deal with her feelings about the relationship and the breakup. Then it's made all better when it turns out that Donna's story was actually a two-parter and students started apologizing to Eric.

Donna's "explanation" makes some sense, but one can't help but wonder two things: Did she absolutely have to publish it in the school paper? At the very least she could have made a disclaimer denouncing any negative action toward Eric for the story's contents. Jo had just broken up with Bob and Donna never told Eric in the first place.

Bit of a "Grinch" and Creator's Pet in my opinion.
