Nac. I'm glad someone is finally pointing out the double standards. I remember when Imogen pretended to be Fiona and almost ruined her chance to go to Italy but no one said anything. If that was Eli the fandom would still be bashing him
It’s about time that someone starts pointing it out. I understand why people don’t though, it gets tiring trying to show people how hypocritical this fandom is when no one either wants to admit it or refuses to understand.
This is nothing new though and if you’re in multiple fandoms on tumblr you see this in every single fandom, but I guess because I spend the most time in the Degrassi fandom I see it the most and honestly enough is enough already.
But this was a very sweet message so thank you :)
Your point about Imogen is spot on. Imogen is another deeply flawed character (though with the way the writers rewrite her character every new season or every time she gets a new love interest her flaws might not be as noticeable.) but Imogen was allowed to get away with a lot of crap in season 11 and like you mentioned especially with incredibly selfish behavior in season 12. But people adore Imogen and apparently by the fandoms standards what Imogen did was perfectly okay since nobody ever brings up her mistakes in season 11 or in season 12.

We all have that one character that you obsess over for months on end, but they slowly fade away into a special place in your heart as you discover other passions. Then the moment you re-discover that one character, the love comes back one hundred times as strong and it’s like they never left.
Eli (and Craig) have type l. I don't understand how they can say they know people who have the disorder and don't act like that. They might have a different type, or they might be on their meds. Like I said, I think Eli is off his meds. A person on their meds and a person off their meds are different from each other.

I mean… she’s had a baby. She’s been where Clare is. She’s friends with Clare.
Eli you better fucking apologize
no “grand gestures”; actual genuine words
and not saying this is what needs to happen and then clare and him are all good, but that he needs to do it because it’s the right and least thing he can do.
