Why do you think no Skam has had a successful season 4/Sana season. OG included.

Sorry for the the rant. 😬

I think it’s because Julie never understood that a girl like Sana would never in a million years have white friends as her core group of friends to begin with. I just need someone to tell me as a Hijabi Muslim if you had a white core group of friends like this? Maybe I’m dumb and I don’t get it, but this whole formula for season 4 that Julie created always falls apart because of how drastically different Sana is from the girls and I just never understand it and the appeal of being friends with people who are just so different from you. It just never clicked with me. You’re telling me there wasn’t at least 1 or 2 other girls in school who were like her? Why did Julie as a white woman even want to tell this story? She got one thing so wrong here which is the reason the season and all of its remakes always fall apart. As human beings we gravitate towards people who are similar to us and woman of color aren’t as ashamed of their identity as you think. Not saying we can’t have people from different walks of life as our friends when we’re older but I personally feel as though we always go back to the ones we feel most comfortable with and who understand our struggles, and look like us and don’t make us miserable every single day because they don’t get us or we have to change ourselves to fit in with them. I’m just saying people of color or people with different religious views than the one predominant in a certain country are not miserable every single day like this or are “ashamed” of their values and beliefs. Because, they will always find other people who understand them, and believe in the same things as they do and they are able to have happy and fulfilling friendships and find relationships with people who share the same values and beliefs as them. I’m also not saying we don’t question and select people who might not share our values completely and still befriend them, but ultimately as a species I think we gravitate towards those who are like us, and make us feel comfortable and at ease. There’s actually a thing called the “Similar-to-Me" Bias, which causes people to disproportionately favor individuals who are similar to themselves. These similarities could be tied to anything—ethnicity, gender, nationality, career history, educational background, and more. So anyways going back to why the season 4 formula doesn’t work, I think it’s as simple as a girl like Sana and her remakes in real life wouldn’t have friends like the girl squad. Because as you can see in this season and every season these kinds of friendships just make you and even the other people in the group miserable because no matter how hard you try you won’t ever understand one another. Our beliefs are so hard wired that it’s not ever going to be as simple for the girl squad to understand Yasmina as Aicha understanding her. To them it will always be BA was joking and didn’t mean it and to Yasmina it will always be they were racist toward her and something so much deeper because she is the only one who experiences it on a daily basis. It’s just doesn’t register. No matter how hard they try to explain it I just don’t think if you don’t feel that outsider feeling you just won’t see things the same. Because they literally don’t get it, and the writers don’t get it either. I know we say that there’s the internet and people are educating themselves these days and you can’t just stay ignorant, but I honestly think it’s something you have to experience to understand. All the skams should just skip season 4 🙄. In the real world the outcome of every Sana season would be that Sana realizes she doesn’t fit in with these girls and needs to find different friends. Simple as that. And that she isn’t ashamed of her values and beliefs but she just needs to find people who don’t make her feel like she needs to change or make her miserable constantly.
