still thinking about the euphoria x skam comparisson, I do think euphoria did a better job portraying addiction, because with lola sometimes it feels almost whitewashed.
The reactions of the fandons are also so different.
There where many occasions where Rue didn't behave well: she lied, she yelled at people, she said hurtful things. Sometimes under drug influence, sometimes because of abstinence. But I don't think she was ever hated by the fans, because she's a fleshed out character, she's flawed and this is just one side of her and it doesn't define her. Most people can understand that.
With Lola though ... It's like, she's not allowed to fuck up.
if she fucks up, people either say a) she's a bad person , b) it's bad and problematic writing
maybe it's because skam has a younger fanbase, who knows
