The Core Four

We see this mainly when Jackie expresses no one voted for her at the dance.

I think Jackie would be the type of person to firmly believe she wasn’t and only years later after running into an old class mate be told of story’s of how she was and be shocked.

Don’t get me wrong I love are girl but she definitely had a tendency to be cruel and probably made a lot of people experience in high school a living hell.

I feel like after her dad got arrested the tables probably turned. Even thought she got nicer it was probably to little and to late.

I also feel like (this might be a hot take? Idk) but Hyde confirmed the rest of the gang also saw her as a bully when he was comforting her about Kelso in the car. He says something along the line of “if I never heard you talk I’d think you where hot”.

Eric, Donna, Hyde, Kelso and Fez also have bad traits (sometimes less obvious) but because they have a longstanding friendship pre-existing Jackie and/or justification through toxic masculinity, there’s infinitely more acceptance and tolerance.

Jackie is the youngest of the group and had to learn and grow the most. She was humbled notably in season 5 (with her father going to prison), and season 7 (facing missteps in a pursuit of a career and shattering breakup).

With Kelso, I actually liked him best as a character in season six. I’m personally a big fan of him and Brooke together so I just have a lot more there to delve into. Whereas with Fez, I was never really a fan of any of his romances either.

Related, do you think Eric is the only one who considered Jackie the “Yoko” of the gang?

Donna is the first. Certainly before "The Pill" (1x17). Their friendship develops in stages, and Donna's the first to accept Jackie into the group.

While Fez's attraction to Jackie is evident in "That Disco Episode" (1x07), he likely thinks of her as part of the group by "Garage Sale" (2x01).

Hyde accepts -- and inducts -- Jackie as an official part of the group in "Cat Fight Club" (2x25).

Eric's perspective on Jackie wobbles. He can be supportive or hostile, depending on the situation. But he truly accepts her as part of the group in "Jackie's Cheese Squeeze" (4x19). He calls her Yoko in season 5 because he's too close to Hyde, and it's easier for him to put the onus on Jackie for what he fears will be the destruction of his life-long safe haven and friend-family.

But Eric first uses the Yoko accusation on Jill, Hyde's girlfriend, in "The Third Wheel" (4x11) for a similar reason.

Yes. My interpretation/understanding of Hyde is that he's a sex-favorable demisexual, demiromantic. See my meta Objectifying Jackie: A Comparison of Jackie’s Relationships with Kelso and Hyde with a Focus on Allosexual, Demisexual, Demiromantic, and Aromantic Character Interpretations.

Hyde finds Brooke aesthetically appealing or attractive, which doesn't necessarily mean he's sexually attracted to her. In the 1970s, the language and understanding we have have now about the asexuality and aromantic spectrums didn't exist. Nor did it exist for different kinds of attraction. Or that sexual arousal and sexual attraction aren't one and the same.

Hyde doesn't have the language we have now. Calling Brooke hot is akin to calling a painting beautiful. That doesn't mean he's sexually attracted to that painting.

The conversation might go as follows, in Hyde's room.

Jackie: Steven, if I didn't exist, would you have sex with Brooke -- if she wanted you?

Hyde: You don't exist in this totally not-a-trap question?

Jackie: Nope. I was never born.

Hyde: Sure. Why not?

Jackie: Steven!

Hyde: What? You don't exist.

Jackie: So you do want to do it with her.

Hyde: Nope, but Iike havin' sex. And I wouldn't say no to doing it with someone on the opposite side of gross.

Jackie flinches. "What does that mean?"

Hyde (serious, sincere): Jackie, listen. I've been with a lot of chicks before you, and the sex was fun, okay? But none of it made me feel anything deeper than -- just rub your hands together real fast. Your palms.

Jackie does as Hyde instructs.

Hyde: How do your hands feel?

Jackie: Hot. Tingly. A little numb, maybe.

Hyde: There ya go.

Jackie: I still don't get it.

Hyde: No girl has ever made me willing to leave my ice cream to get her a freakin' magazine. Or cut my hair shorter. Or like being called a cutesy nickname that should make me sick. And when you and me have sex, that's all part of it, man. Way beyond hot and tingly. And sure as hell not numb.

Jackie: So you're saying sex with Brooke would be meaningless?

Hyde: That and I got no interest in doin' it with her. Why would I settle for nothin' when I got everything right here?

Jackie: Me. You mean me! [She's happy until another question rises in her mind.] Then why do you think Brooke is hot?

Hyde: Why do you think Andy Gibb is hot?

Jackie: Excuse me. That poster shows my appreciation for his music.

Hyde arcs up an eyebrow.

Jackie: Fine. Because I like how he looks and sings and his overall Andy Gibb-ness. But I wouldn't have sex with him.

Hyde: Do you want to?

Jackie shakes her head more vigorously than she's aware of.

Hyde: Why not?

Jackie: I'm in love with you. And I don't actually know Andy Gibb. He's a stranger, and the idea of doing it with a stranger, even one who's that foxy ... ew. [Realizing with a gasp:] And Brooke is basically a stranger to you! So you can think she's hot, but you don't love her. You love me. I'm the first girl you've ever had a deep, undying love for. A love so powerful that you'd turn the Earth backward to save my life like Superman does for Lois Lane!

Hyde, knowing to leave well enough alone despite Jackie's hyperbole, caresses the back of her hair. "So ... wanna try to turn the Earth backward?"

Jackie: Honestly, I'd prefer just to lie together on your cot for a while.

Hyde (snuggling up with her): Okay.
