Description

In season 1, the main character is accused of having slept with her second cousin by bullies, and makes a referential remark to this fact. This is not true. S1E5: a trans-presenting character is violently assaulted by a stranger. S2E3: a teenage girl is sexually harassed by a man on the bus, who masturbates while standing directly behind her in the crowded bus. She calls attention to the situation, but none of the other passengers appear to do anything. She flees the bus. Recounting the event later, she acts nonchalant about it and says it is not a big deal, making excuses for the man, saying he may just have been lonely. However, her friend convinces her to report the assault to the police. The event and the effect it had on the girl are discussed on numerous occasions throughout the rest of the season. She is shown to be paranoid about encountering the man again, avoiding the bus entirely and imagining seeing him in crowds. She has trouble being intimate with her boyfriend as well. S2E7: a group of girls in detention discuss their own encounters with men harassing them. One character recounts being followed home, another being groped by a man walking past her, yet another being flashed by a man at the pool when she was younger, etc. A girl has sex with a boy who is clearly being incapable of giving consent. He lost his viriginity with her and cannot remember it the next day. It is later revealed that she intentionally has sex with nerds when she is feeling down. She forces him to pay for the morning after pill. A teenage girl is accused of statutory rape because it turns out her boyfriend is only 15 years old. It is not entirely clear if he lied to her about his age or if she just assumed he was 16. The boy's family does not press charges against her. Season 4 deals with the sexual assault of a main character that happened in earlier seasons. S4E4: in the opening scene a middle-aged man is pushed onto a sofa by a female colleague who begins to have intercourse with him. He does not actively consent, is visibly uncomfortable and appears to have a freeze response. He experiences shame after the event, but the narrative does not treat this event as a sexual assault. S4E5: two protagonists are in an empty pool and one is very adamant about having sex. The other does not seem very comfortable. When he tells her to stop, they stop. S4E6: a girl gets catcalled by a group of men. She calls them out. S4E6-7: a boyfriend is being overjealous to his girlfriend. When her best friend talks with her about him being weird and intense she gets mad. In episode 7, he gets jealous for no reason again when she helped out someone before an exam. He accuses her of lying. He stops her from going by holding her arm tightly and hurting her. He says "Dont walk away from me". S4E7: during a flashback, an adult man touches a girl's leg in a sexual way. Her sister walks in because she got suspicious and notices it. The girl replies with "Don't be jealous'. A manipulative boyfriend holds his girlfriend's without her consent, being overjealous because she helped someone. He then suddenly changes behaviourt and later texts her that she is over reacting. S4E8: one (adult female) character talks about the abuse she experienced as a 12-year-old at the hands of her mother's boyfriend. Worthy of note: S3E6: the head teacher of a school forces a non binary person and bisexuals to wear signs around their neck to shame them. No other students are allowed to talk to them. The non binary student is consistently not allowed to express their gender identity.
