The love may be fake but this blog is real

If Janny did happen- I don’t think it will, but if it did- I probably wouldn’t ship Dacey anymore. Not the new version of it anyway. Because that would mean Lacey risked her other friendships, her reputation in school, and her relationship with her mom (probably) all for a guy who really didn’t want to be with her. And that wouldn’t be fair. If Dacey have to see other people, then I’d rather it be on their own terms. Not because one half of the ship realized they had feelings for someone else, all the while claiming they wanted to be with the other. So I think that in order for Janny to happen, they would have to severely fuck up Danny’s characterization. Like SUPER severe.

Even though this post is from years ago I only recently watched this show and this is one of the many things that really bugs me about it. Even though Lacey makes it clear she doesn't really trust Danny due to the whole he murdered his aunt bit even though the show keeps suggesting that's somehow unreasonable and unfair (in her case it's consistently translated into she only cares about being popular and is a mean girl who isn't being fair to Danny), is worried about losing her friends (again not unreasonable considering they believe he may have also murdered their best friend), and yes, may even be worried about the impact on her status at school, Danny literally stalks her (see episode 7), ingratiates himself into aspects of not only her life but, weirdly, her boyfriend's life too until he breaks her down all to get her to trust him and to get at her. And then a few episodes after he and gets his way and she risks it all, her friends, her reputation for him, even her dignity and personhood thanks to that disgusting sex tape episode (don't even get me started on that mess) he basically tells the world he was never really into her and only did all this because he was into someone else and we're not supposed to think he's the slimiest douche on the planet and hate the show for consistently framing her as mean or unfair or shallow in her interactions with him in the eyes of the audience when she was right not to trust him all along.

If they really wanted to write more for Lacey they would’ve done it in the first season. They just chose not to. And they kept saying they would because they knew people would stop watching if the show continued to be about Jo and her feelings.

Excuse me but…STFU Andy. Long game plan my ass. What these jokers refuse to face is that the Lacy/Dacey and even a lot of Danny fans tuned out not because we didn’t “get Dacey” but rather it was in the way they chose to undermine that pairing and the female half of it in order to push unwarranted support for a character they chose to write as entitled and insufferable. People want to act like Lacey/Dacey fans were set from jump to dislike the character of Jo Masterson which is simply not the case. That side-eye goes to the other side of the spectrum who not only spit vile at Lacey/Dacey on their Facebook page 24/7 but especially at Kylie Bunbury. Sure some Dacey fans were over the top in their opinions but you show me where that part of the fandom went all out personally insulting Maddie Hasson on the regular? Don’t worry…I’ll wait. Bottom line is that all the backpedaling in the world isn’t going to fix what never should have been broken in the first place. If Andy, Adam and the rest were soooo invested in Lacey and Kylie as an equal with the other two characters/actors they NEVER would have wrote that disgusting sex tape/slut shaming bullshit and they certainly would not have continued to allow that blatant bias from their PR department constantly pushing all things “Jo” later played up in the writing and direction of the script/show. If they had been smart Danny would not have become involved with either girl and the so-called “heart of the show” as fronted by Adam Milch revolving around the girls’ relationship would have been developed and invested in not suddenly everyone is kissing Jo’s ass by aplogizing for things that she wasn’t even involved in while they diminish and degrade Lacey mentally, emotionally and sexually before “playing” with her potential to be bi-sexual or gay. The entire handling of this show after episode 8 was appalling and insulting and I feel not one ounce of sympthy for any of those in charge who were responsible for making the decisions that we all saw would be Twisted’s downfall. I’m just happy that Avan, Kylie and Maddie have now moved on to other projects where their talent won’t be squandered and even more happy and excited that while we may have lost Dacey we got the attention and respect of our support for them noticed by others and they are picking up and running with what ABCF and their cast of clowns in charge didn’t have the courage to stand up for and behind beyond a bait and switch PR stunt. How’s that #PoorABCF hashtag working for ya now? LOL

Awwwww
