YMMV / TPF: Louder and Prouder S2E6 "The End of Innocence"

• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: How the friends (LaCienega, Dijonay, Maya, and Michael) treat Zoey was widely considered this. After their celebrity crush, Noah, asks Zoey out on a date to the Valentine’s Day dance, Maya shares that her cousin told her that he only prefers white girls, so we're meant to feel bad that they were overlooked for such a reason. Except not only is the rumor unconfirmed, at least until the end of the episode, but they proceed to act hostile towards Zoey over it without even talking to her about it and start ostracizing her. While some can consider Noah's preference as colorist, Zoey has zero control over the scenario, and the only attempt at a proper explanation comes packaged with them heavily implying that skin color is the only reason anyone conventionally attractive would ever be interested in someone as geeky as Zoey (even though there were other white girls in the school shown fawning over Noah that he ignored in favor of asking out Zoey). The fact that Penny and Dijonay already have boyfriends who were in the exact same room as they tried to flirt with Noah only makes it harder to sympathize with them for being rejected, in addition to the hypocrisy of them overlooking said boyfriends in favor of a lighter-skinned male. It’s also not helped by the fact Zoey is the one who apologizes first at at the end when she did nothing wrong, and when the others apologize Maya says "girls need to stick together" when it’s her fault the group was torn apart in the first place, and she does not even apologize.
