I always wondered why it was never really mentioned that dorothy was actually date raped by stan when they first went out (he got her drunk/possibly drugged her either way she was passed out it's mentioned multiple times) and she ended up pregnant and had to marry him due to the time period. like that's really heavy and they kinda just ignore it and sophia blames her for getting pregnant but like goddamn! what do you think about that?
You know, I wonder if it’s because of the fact that the story of how she got pregnant (as well as her age) kind of changed depending on the episode. Sometimes she thinks something was slipped in her drink, other times she mentions how fast it was over with, sometimes she’s 17, sometimes she’s 19. I really feel like the writers didn’t think about it deeply enough, like it was only supposed to be a “joke” to show us what a creep Stan was, but not make us completely hate him. As if the fact that he did that was just this silly little thing, and not more serious. I really don’t know, and I hope I don’t sound dumb. I’ve never really stopped to think of it in that way myself!
