History DoubleStandard / InfinityTrainBlossomverse

* As the ''Blossomverse'' explains in exhaustive detail, it's really unfair of people to just ''expect'' Chloe to "get into" Pokemon just because it's what everyone else is into. On good days, the narrative gives [[PrejudiceAesop an Aesop]] about how even when people don't share or really understand each other's tastes, they can still be there for each other and hear each other out. On bad days, the implication is that Pokemon and related topics [[InformedWrongness simply aren't as important or interesting]] as Chloe and her interests are. But when it comes to [[AdultsAreUseless Talia]] and her pastel-colored artwork of happy people, the message is pretty clear throughout ''Seeker of Crocus''. Talia is shown to be fully in the wrong for preferring such work, because [[InsaneTrollLogic it naturally follows]] that she [[SelectiveObliviousness ignores]] actual problems in her daughter's life in favor of her art. Apparently, if Talia wishes to ''avoid'' being a UselessBystanderParent, her only option is to start consuming work that ''[[GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies terrifies her]]'' so she can relate to her daughter properly. [[SarcasmMode After all]], the moral of the ''Blossomverse'' is that sometimes you ''need'' to consume media that makes you really uncomfortable if you want to fit in!

* Once again, the double standard between Chloe and Yeardley is brought up: the former having her career path forced on her, while the latter can get away with just saying his life's "a work in progress". It's a lot less vitrol-fueled than in ''Blossoming Trail'', though. Another one is that it's ''Yeardley'' who started this by throwing paper balls at her, but when Chloe hits him with a book then '''she''' gets sent to the principal's office and culminating in her trip onto the Infinity Train.

The author doesn't shy away from pointing out how some people like Chloe are treated by others in ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'' because of who they are. And there are other DoubleStandard related events where it doesn't involve that schtick.

* If the person trainnapped is a girl , like Chloe, the people around will at the very least notice and be understandably worried. If the person trainnapped is a guy, like Goh or Gladion, people will briefly notice before shrugging it off and continuing with their lives.

* Just in general, the ''Blossomverse'' tends to include many more references to BullyingTheDisabled, specifically [[MoralEventHorizon just how unforgivable such an action is,]] ''after Seeker of Crocus'' began [[AmbiguousDisorder heavily hinting]] that Chloe may be autistic. In ''Blossoming Trail,'' Goh's implied neurodiversity and depression was mostly focused on in terms of how he had been [[FairWeatherFriend a bad friend]] to Chloe- [[TheScapegoat the internet as a whole]] pretty much treated him as entirely responsible for Chloe's misery until [[EnfantTerrible Parker's actions]] overshadowed him. Franklin was definitely depicted as ''[[ALighterShadeOfBlack better]]'' than the rest of the class, but that didn't stop [[CreatorsPet Parker]] from [[ColdBloodedTorture punishing]] [[CruelMercy him]] with the Unown. By the time Act 2 of ''Seeker of Crocus'' begins, [[AuthorsSavingThrow there are at least three or four]] characters that are identified as neurodivergent... but still, this largely comes into play in [[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery excusing Chloe's actions]] whenever she comes across as [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitive]] or [[KickTheDog cruel,]] whereas when ''Goh'' behaved in such a manner, he was [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewed out]] by everyone from [[TheAllegedExpert Trip]] to [[ParentalHypocrisy his own parents]] for being such an [[SpoiledBrat immature brat.]]

* Treating [[CreatorsPest Goh Fujihachi]] as the [[TheScapegoat epitome of Chloe's suffering]], based on ''one'' canon comment that suggests that [[FelonyMisdemeanor he has bad texting habits]] and the LawOfConservationOfDetail? [[note]] It was considered ''very'' unfair that Chloe was not featured in the ''Pokémon anime'' unless ''Pokémon'' were involved. [[/note]] Well, that’s perfectly fine. Have the people affected by Chloe's temper tantrums blame ''her'' in turn for [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade making literally everyone's lives darker]]? Now ''that'' is enough to get Green_Phantom_Queen up in arms. This similarly applies to Parker, most infamous in the deleted ''Fury of Thistle''.
