Isi being supportive of the 'feminist art' -> very 'in-character', as she is a dramatic queen and did so much impulsive (dumb) stuff during their season. I'm not surprised 🙄

Kieu My being critical -> also very 'in-character' as always did her best to study hard and it is so important for her to do well in the educational system, so destruction of school property is not really her thing, makes sense.

But Ava not being critical -> SO MUCH out of character. I said in an earlier post that during S5 and 6 Ava was always the one (reasonably) criticizing her friends. She engages in meaningful activism and reflects a lot about it (seen in S6). She has been critical of Mailins activism specifically (FOR A GOOD REASON!). Druck PLEASE are you FUCKING SERIOUS??! Why are you ruining a character like this???!

unpopular take maybe but I don't understand what coming forward and taking responsibility for the nudes is going to fix. why is it necessary. the fact that everyone believes the nudes to be Zoe's is not Mailin's fault, it's not Zoe's fault, it's patriarchal slut shaming at its best. the clip showed pretty well that neither of the girls knew what to do with Mailin's confession and apology, there was nowhere to go from there. there's no solution. things aren't going to change if the whole school finds out that it's Mailin on the pictures, they are just going to continue shaming a girl for getting her privacy and trust broken. and imo, it's honestly so unrealistic to say "whoever took these photos should just claim them as theirs instead of letting Zoe take all the blame". shouldn't the reaction be let's do something about how everyone is reacting and the fact that someone is leaking nudes in the first place?!

#druck #druck mailin #idk man it's like girls being pitted against other girls and it's been like that all season long #I'm just so tired #neither of them is right like there's not one voice of reason among these characters

[thatdamalexevans]

looking at the comments under the latest clip rn and there are a lot that are really cool

but some are just... eh

there are people saying that every victim of SA should decide for themselves how to deal with it, whether they want to go to the police etc.

and yes, that's true, but it also misses the point

because most victims are scared of going to the police, of what the police might say to them, of having to go through the traumatising events again, and then not even knowing that the abuser will get any consequences

but that's exactly the reason why we should show characters successfully reporting their abusers to the police, especially characters that are praised for "being strong" by their friends

we need to show young victims that going to the police can work and that it doesn't make the situation more traumatising

if we show a charcater not going to the police, even though they are "strong" and have the help of a big friend group, then victims will feel even less like going to the police, because if this strong character with lots of support can't do it, how could they?

there are a lot of things that irritate me in this episode/ this season but I can’t wrap my head around the idea how this season is apparently about Mailin being there for everyone but being overlooked in some way ??? like the trailer/ teaser we got ??? How has that anything to do with the storyline now???

so mailin has a crush on finn but she feels like she’s not so outgoing/pretty/chill like zoe so she thinks it´s impossible that he likes her

also mailin before/after alcohol hits is so me.

I am not even talking about the content of that scene whatsoever, but why was Mailin the one with the worst mask if she was trying to sneek into school lol

[ithoughtiwasthegayone]

what i dont get is how over critical druck fans can be

theyre in highschool what do you expect them to do? during exams? they cant protest anything in the conventional way

i feel that as fans we're just sucking the fun out of the show in general.

i liked the recent scene of mailin and zoe and then i go online and see people just shitting on it then i feel bad for liking it.

im just so tired of picking apart the show to where its unrecognizable

the scene felt like druck again...

I know for a fact if Finn had done that to Mailin she would have popped off and never spoken to him again.

This is a comment I left on YouTube under the last episode of Druck, trying to summarize my criticism of the season. It's nothing new actually, but I still wanted to post it here. I'm sorry this is in german, but I am too exhausted of translating this into English right now.

Okay, das hier ist ein echt emotionaler Abschied von einer Serie die mir einmal sehr viel bedeutet hat. Und weil sie mir immer noch etwas bedeutet, muss ich hier auch leider einmal meine Kritik an der Staffel rauslassen.

Es gibt so viele große und kleine Dinge, die mich die letzten zehn Wochen gestört, geärgert und manchmal sogar echt wütend und traurig gemacht haben. Ich will das jetzt nicht alles aufzählen, weil das komplett den Rahmen eines Youtube-Kommentars sprengen würde und weil vieles auch eine Wiederholung dessen ist, was die meisten schon unter den letzten Clips/Episoden kommentiert haben. Aber wenn ich alles zusammenfassen müsste, dann wirkt diese Staffel irgendwie konservativ, oder "aus der Zeit gekommen".

Das fängt an mit der Wahl Mailins als Main, anstelle von z.B. Ava oder Finn. Ihr Charakter ist einer, der so häufig schon Repräsentation in den Medien gefunden hat, während queere und/oder POC-Charaktere immer noch unterrepräsentiert sind. Hier hat man die Chance vertan, einem dieser liebevoll entwickelten Charaktere eine Bühne und eine Hintergrundgeschichte zu geben. Dazu kommt, dass die Charaktere (gerade bei Ava ist es mir am meisten aufgefallen) in dieser Staffel viel von ihren Charakterzügen und ihrer Backgroundstory sogar verloren haben. Gefühlt haben sie nichts anderes gemacht, als Mailin zu bestätigen und ihr zu sagen wie "stark" sie ist. Und das, obwohl Mailin der mit Abstand privilegierteste Charakter der neuen Generation ist (heißt, ihre Art von Aktivismus muss man sich erst mal leisten können; das kommt nicht von ihrer eigenen Stärke sondern von den unfassbar vielen Chancen, die Mailin im Vergleich zu anderen Charakteren aus der Show zur Verfügung stehen).

Die neue Generation ist mit einem unfassbar diversen Cast gestartet, die Serie hat dafür sogar einen Preis bekommen. Das bringt eine Verantwortung mit sich, denn hier wurden viele Charaktere erschaffen, deren Geschichten so oft in der Medienwelt ignoriert werden. Staffel 5 und 6 haben es geschafft, dieser Verantwortung gerecht zu werden, in Staffel 7 haben sich bereits deutliche Lücken aufgetan, weil Isis Gender-Identität so in den Hintergrund gerückt wurde. Diese neue Staffel hat aber nochmal ganz andere Dimensionen gehabt, weil alle Charaktere quasi nur noch über Liebe und Sex, und über Mailin geredet haben. Es ging ja wirklich nur (!) um Mailin. Dabei gab es viele Chancen, die Charaktere anders einzubinden, und ihre Perspektiven und Weltsichten zu verdeutlichen.

Gerade bei der Form von Aktivismus, die sie in der Staffel verfolgt hat, wäre es mehr als angebracht gewesen, von ihrer diversen Freundesgruppe kritisiert zu werden.

Und da wären wir beim nächsten Punkt. Die Aktivismus-Story, wie sie hier erzählt wurde, ist nicht nur absolut realitätsfern, sondern es ist auch unangebracht, gerade gegenüber Deutschlands geschichtlichem Hintergrund, eine Bücherzerstörung so zu inszenieren. Ich hatte außerdem immer das Gefühl, Mailins Aktivismus wird unnötig übertrieben oder ins Lächerliche gezogen. Gerade in Zeiten wie diesen, wo wir von Idealen wie Frieden, Gendergerechtigkeit und einer Welt ohne Rassismus/Diskriminierung nur noch träumen können, wäre es besser gewesen, sinnvollen, nuancierten und produktiven Aktivismus darzustellen. Was auch immer mit der Bücher-Aktion bezweckt werden sollte, es erfüllt keine dieser Kriterien.

Dann bin ich echt traurig, dass Finn, der Love Interest dieser Staffel, auch keine wirkliche Hintergrundgeschichte bekommen hat. Ich hätte gern mehr über ihn gelernt, auch seine kulturellen Hintergründe, aber in dieser Staffel hat man komplett darauf verzichtet dem Love Interest eine anständige Charakterisierung zu verpassen. Das macht mich traurig, weil Druck sonst immer einen wirklich guten Job gemacht hat, wenn es um Interkulturalität ging. Außerdem habe ich das Gefühl, dass gerade Finn erst in Staffel 7 als Charakter in den Vordergrund gerückt ist.

Und ein letzter Punkt: Ich finde es wirklich schlecht, wenn nicht sogar gefährlich, wie die Nudes-Storyline erzählt wurde. Dieser Teil der Staffel war vielleicht noch der realistischste von allen, und es wurde hier die Chance verpasst einem jungen Publikum aufzuzeigen, wie man am besten mit einer solchen Situation umgeht. Nämlich zur Polizei gehen und Ben anzeigen. Das, und nicht weniger, wäre das richtige Signal gewesen. Stattdessen wurde statt Ben häufig Mailin für den Nudes-Leak verantwortlich gemacht, und das ist falsch. Dafür kann sie überhaupt gar nichts. Außerdem wurde fast künstlich Drama zwischen Zoe und Mailin erzeugt, und ich kann es echt nicht mehr sehen, dass statt sich auf die eigentlichen Täter zu konzentrieren, der Konflikt zwischen zwei Frauen im Fokus steht, bei dem es um einen Mann geht (Finn). Das sind sexistische Narrative, bei denen Männer im Fokus stehen und immer wieder für ihre Aktionen davonkommen.

Ich hoffe man versteht jetzt, was ich mit "aus der Zeit gekommen" meine. Es ist wirklich und wörtlich genommen nicht mehr an der Zeit solche Geschichten zu erzählen, wie sie uns in den letzten 10 Wochen erzählt wurde. Es ist Zeit für diverse Charaktere, deren Geschichten nuanciert erzählt werden; es ist Zeit für sinnvollen Aktivismus; es ist Zeit um Sexismus hervorzuheben und zu diskutieren.

An dieser Stelle möchte ich all den Leuten, die irgendwie in Staffel 5 -7 involviert waren, von Herzen danken (auch wenn das wahrscheinlich kaum einer von ihnen lesen wird). Ihr habt euch wirklich Mühe gegeben, für diverse Repräsentation in den Medien zu sorgen, und sogar trotz massiven Gegenwinds für diese Charaktere und ihre Geschichten gekämpft. Das hat mir viel bedeutet.

In light of the most recent clip, I've been able to pinpoint why this season feels so off to me. Mailin is 18, she's passionate about things and I would be lying if I said I haven't been her before. I think the issue of her activism in relation to how it affects her social interactions, how she "calls-out" her friends and alienates them in the process, how she fails to acknowledge her own privileges, could be a great base for her character arc in this season, especially paired with her conflict with Zoe. The problem is that we've seen this plot line before, as it was her exact arc two seasons ago. We've had the confrontational approach to social justice topics, the performative, shallow activism, even microaggressions against her own friends. And due to her already having gone through all of these things and being explicitly told why her behavior is not okay, it's unrealistic, unbelievable, or at the very least frustrating to see her repeat all of that. I can understand why the writers wanted to center these issues again, but they are just reusing material, which makes Mailin's character feel stagnant and fixed. To me, she does not feel capable of character growth right now, partly because we know so little about her (even after she has been an important side character in 3 seasons - compare her to how much we know about Zoe or Ava), but also because I think to have her evolve during this season would feel like a slap in the face to all the people who still view Druck as a show about friendships instead of randomly lined up love stories. To have Mailin change her ways throughout a season centered around her relationship with Finn after having the issue pointed out to her in a past season implies that the judgement of her friends was not crucial enough to rethink her behavior.

#not to mention how they baited her being asexual just to have her be insufferable instead #I'm aware the season has just started #these are just concerns I have #and I think we can all agree that the writing is considerably worse now #druck #druck mailin #finn nguyen #mailin richter #ava pereira #zoe machwitz

sooo, under the last clip (the mailin getting off after her controller vibrated for some reason one) i wrote a comment which i guess i'll translate now

i don't really like this season, i enjoyed the first 3 episodes and was exited for the further developments.

but, there weren't any developments, not really. like, yes, if you enjoy mastturbating, go for it, but it's not like you have to.

that masturbating is portrayed as something that's always positive, feels weird to me

for me, druck has always been a series, that tells new stories and the "masturbating can be nice"-story, we just know that story already.

this season would have been the perfect opportunity to tell something new.

at first i thought, this season would be aroace rep, which i was really exited about. then it was clear that mailin was into finn (romantically). and yes, she could theoretically still be on the aro spectrum, but it was a way to little topic, for it to be relevant.

then i had hopes for mailin being ace, but if she actually turns out being ace, it wouldn't feel like good rep. i know that asexuality is a spectrum and asexual people have different relations to sex or masturbating etc.

but designing asexual representation in a way that best fits allonormative standards? doesn't feel right to me. and if mailin would come to the conclusion that she is, in fact, ace, it would happen in the last episode. asexuality would only be a topic in one out of ten episodes. that's not a lot.

and if she's not ace, this whole season feels like a missed opportunity. then we would have followed a white, cishet, allo, young woman, who is also quite rich, for ten weeks. a woman who doesn't even acknowledge her privilege, who doesn't reflect on her own mistakes (she still thinks you can destroy books because you feel like it), who isn't good at communicating (like not being in contact with finn after small problems, or drunkenly telling him a week later that the sex was not the best idea) even though she said (in previous seasons) that she was taught to be open about feelings etc. when she had a fight with ava. and the problems that she actually has (ben, but that's it) are handled weirdly. it was only said once or twice that ben was the problem, that it was simply wrong of him to send mailin's nude (that he only got in the first place because he coerced her after she said no). instead the whole screentime was devoted to mailin and zoe fighting and finn being angry about mailin for sending the nude (that was before your relationship?! i don't think you have any right to dictate what mailin should or shouldn't do, and i honestly don't think it fits finns character to react that way).

there've been a lot of storylines, but none of them had a real ending (i wanna know who snitched on mailin and zoe, but there's a week left, so i still have hopes), none were told well (at least that's what it feels like to me), it feels like they just ignore old seasons (isi being non-binary and using all pronouns, what ava and fatou talk about in the abi prank, ava who has always promoted interscetional feminism and everything connected to it is now hyping mailin up even after mailin acts against what ava stands for)

what annoys me the most is that we have lots of cool characters in this show, whose stories haven't been told (in the series but also in mainstream media) who just get ignored
