Dawson's Creek is turning our children into emotional retards.

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

All the girls I know (and it is mainly girls [although considering many of them are in their 20's, maybe women would be a better semantic choice]) who are 'into' Dawson's Creek seem to have trouble maintaining serious relationships / dealing with mild or everyday emotional obstacles / etcetera. Of the four or five I can think of who I know very well, most have been in counselling and or on anti-depressants at some point in the last few years. Most being four of the five. Now, while I recognise that instances of mental ill-health are increasing (50% or us will experience mental illness during our lives, I believe) and that Dawson's is a popular programme especially amongst the teen/early 20's demographic, it can't just be coincidence, can it?

Is Dawson's Creek fucking people up, basically? By portraying unrealistic and unattainable relationships, by portraying beautiful people with expansive vocabularies as still incapable of having decent relationships, is Dawson's (combined with various other factors) raising a generation of people (girls) who can't deal with real human feelings and relationships? "If Pacey and Joey can't be happy how can I ever be?" Is this, considering the fact that most young men are emotionally retarded, a contributing factor in the decline of decent relationships in our societies and our resultantly ever-more-needy natures as we seek solace and satisfaction in increasingly more decadent and expensive and emotionally vapid ways?

Or am I taking a dodgy US teen soap too seriously?

Taking Dawson's as being symptomatic of a greater cultural movement of introspective and analytical and / or not exactly emotionally wholesome cultural artefacts, from Starsailor to Britney 'true love waits for a hunky guy' Spears to all those dodgy teen movies and magazines...

― Nick Southall, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If that worries you I wouldn't recommend watching Hollyoaks. Then again, I wouldn't recommend that anyway...

― Matt Fallaize, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hollyoaks is at least amusing. But still part of the whole thing.

― Nick Southall, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes you should watch POPULAR instead as it deals with the issues

also it's a bit weird saying "our children" in the thread then talking about women the same age as you

― mark s, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like this theory because I hate Dawson's Creek.

― DG, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is the best thread ever. Just wait until Emma gets online!

I sort of agree but this may be just a contrarian respect for the stiff-upper-lip culture combined with a naive willingness to strip it of its political aspects. Also I never watch TV and am still no more emotionally stable than anyone else I know. I think the problem certainly isn't that people are comparing themselves to TV characters, though.

I think you are taking it too seriously. I know I like my cheesy teen drama more than the next guy, I find humor in it. So I try not to mold my relationships into what I see on tv. I am of the generation that show is geared at so EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME.

I'd chose My So Called Life over Dawson's Creek anytime. Who's with me (and against me)?

― Lindsey B, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK, I can see the last two words are Dawson's Creek, but what the hell else does it say Felicity?

― Nick Southall, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My main fear is that the negative effect these programmes have is subliminal and concurrent / snowballing alongside other cultural areas / trends, rather than overtly conscious and obvious.

― Nick Southall, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But she kept going back to Jared Leto, and he was always a wanker to her!

Fave bit of Fight Club - Jared Leto gets pasted.

Fave bit of Requiem For A Dream - Jared Leto gets amputated.

Can anyone add anymore pieces of filmic destructio of Jared Leto's pseudo-perfect form?

― Nick Southall, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The first thing to remember if you think you've identified a cultural trend is that it is also affecting you - if you think it's not then it probably doesn't exist.

― Tom, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Subliminal or no, arguing with mass media is akin to throwing feathers at a steamroller. Lowest common denominators have always been with us, and always will be. I really wouldn't worry about it.

― Matt Fallaize, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whoa too much to deal with here for me. "And maybe you dont want to be a wife. Its not a life being a wife Doing the modern dance You never touch, you dont know who you're with Dance- modern dance The roles are shifting- dance" L Reed ps does emotionaly retarded mean unable to openly express feelings to others, cause our ability for self pity knows no boundaries

Jared Leto got shot dead in Panic Room

― anthony, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But Dawson's Creek has Audrey Horne now! And she has the hots for Pacey (sp?).

Jared/Jordan got chopped up by Christian/Patrick in American Psycho!

I cut Jordan some slack when he played Jawbox (a band not an object) in his car.

― Andy K, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

For a few years that show made Jordan a 'hot' name (as in a name rather attractive associations rather than frequent).

― Jordan, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can anyone add anymore pieces of filmic destructio of Jared Leto's pseudo-perfect form?

He gets axed in the face in American Psycho. It's a beautiful thing.

Anyhow, I'm an emotional retard without watching Dawson's Creek, thank you. One of my better friends from school, or at least the one I most fondly remember, was a boy in our crew who looked just like Dawson. If that's even the main character's name. That blonde guy. Is he Dawson? James Van Der Beak???

― Ally, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jordan was a fuck head but i think that's fairly realistic, don't all chicks go for the dickheads?? I loved a lot of the characters on that show, hell all of em really but esp rayanne and ricky

― Ron, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mental illness is increasing because U.S. drug companies are exporting it, used to be something like 90% of all the world's psychotherapy was performed in the us but now with psychotropics being the faux magic bullets it pays to make everyone the world 'round crazy, dawon's creek is part of the master plan. i hate how the teens don't ever talk like teens on that show, making all sorts of pop culture references that pre-date them by decades is lame.

i guess i just admitted to seeing the show, oops.

― keith, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dawson is losing his hair. That is my favorite part.

There's a new series?! With Audrey Horne? I have been saved...

And fuck you you gin-smoking crack living realist. I was majorly fucked in the head long before I ever heard the name Pacey and got shivers up my P Spot.

― Queen G, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now, while I recognise that instances of mental ill-health are increasing (50% or us will experience mental illness during our lives, I believe) and that Dawson's is a popular programme especially amongst the teen/early 20's demographic, it can't just be coincidence, can it?

you are talking about 5 ppl = of course it can be a coincidence. also surely the causality could be the other way round???

― toby, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mental illness among youth will decline only when all the baby boomers FUCKING DIE and stop telling everybody else that they should be happy with nothing because they fucking took everything

― dave q, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think dave q might be onto something.

Is pop culture a conspiracy to fuck us up so we take more psychotropics?

Do Coca Cola (for example) use sex as an advertising tool not because we like sex and will associate it with their product, but so that we have enough sex to ensure more babies to buy their product in the next generation?

I sense a revolution...

― Nick Southall, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dawson's Creek makes me want to stick my head in a bucket of sick => this is not good for me + I am part of society => Dawson's Creek is a menace to society and should be banned.

― RickyT, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dave Q and Toby are correct, and DG is very very wrong...

― gareth, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well I for one live my life according to the Doctrine of Dawson. At least they are not all gonorrhea ridden like those Hollyoaks kids.

― Emma, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dawson has the american "Intense behaviour syndrome" why is he boring everyone with every nuance of his troubled youth? no one would really give a fuck in real life.... I can remember a show in which he leaves that redneck place he lives in for new york.. in a club he starts talking with a beautiful lady . a sophisticated socialite ( ov course we are talking indawson's creek terms) what does our dearmost retard starts talking about? his infancy, his want to become a director as good as spielberg that dates.......

― francesco, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dawson's Creek is the best television show ever! I like it coz it is predictable and funny.

― jel --, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it is even funnier than the Wonder Years.

― Alan T, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anyway, to me Dawson's Creek is about as unreal as unreal can get. I appreciate that watching the show is purely an escapist act. It is fun to predict what is going to happen next. I doubt if someone would ever think "If Joey/Pacey; Joey/Dawson can't have a stable relationship, what chance do I have?"...Like get a grip, they aren't supposed to, that's the premise of the show!

Dawsons Creek = Science Fiction.

"At that moment, I knew that everything was going to be different from now on. And yet it would remain the same. It was a christmas miracle."

I will always hate the last epidode of the Wonder Years..."and a few years later Dad died". That was just so unneccessary.

― jel --, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well as he was mortal death was pretty necessary. Everyone used to say my brother looked like Kevin out of WY therefore it makes me shudder slightly to watch it.

As If though. Now THERE'S a fantastic teen drama.

― Emma, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You guys are mentalists! How absolutely cool would it be to conduct relationships like you're in an interview to get into Harvard?!? Kids are wack because they are too *little* like Dawson's Creek. They sigh over the stars and have their pet relationships that they like to see blossom, but ignore the crucial lessons it teaches us:

1) big words are good; 2) it's advisable to be friends with more than three people; 3) moralising grandmothers are objectively funky; 4) knowing intellectually that life sucks doesn't make it easier to accept it or to see how that general suckiness is affecting you; (this is a Freud thing BTW); 5) perfect relationships != "perfect relationships"; and 6) if you do sleep with the perfect person they will turn into an evil vampire.

Ooops, sorry, the last one was Buffy. But go watch that instead - it re-articulates all the good stuff that Dawson's Creek puts forward, adds a considerable amount extra and avoids DC's air of crapness.

― Tim, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jordan was a fuck head but i think that's fairly realistic, don't all chicks go for the dickheads??

Yes yes but he was in the Frozen Embryos and he was also a GRATE leaner.

Fifteen = best teen drama soap evah.

― Andy K, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

don't all chicks go for the dickheads??

Unfortunately, yes.

― Ally, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Dave Q and Toby are correct, and DG is very very wrong..."

You'll be telling me Ant 'N' Dec are funny next.

― DG, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Disney did far worse things to people than Dawsons Creek ever has or will. The sheer ambiguity of all the "messages" in Disney films, which hit you at an earlier age than DC when you're surely more vulnerable, is pretty amazing. I mean talk about preparing people for disappointment.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ambiguity?

― RickyT, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

By portraying unrealistic and unattainable relationships

"If Pacey and Joey can't be happy..."

How are these two sentenves compatible?

(I wuv Dawson's and am currently worrying about the claims it's only a fantasy world)

― Graham, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I mean in the sense that all "you are special" or "love yourself" are completely open to individual interpretation and don't really mean anything per se. Also to read way too much into Disney (and lots of TV cartoons), looking back I always think there was the implicit message that certain ways of life, or certain trappings, or even certain rules were the status quo and not to be questioned.

Fairytale lifestyle yadda yadda yadda.

And isn't someone being told they're special and they're fantastic from an early age a recipe for disaster in a world which may not ever really acknowledge this.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, the thing that really screws up people, in my experience, is telling a kid "You are a dirtbag. You suck. You should have never been born." from day one. I've ran into a lot (and I mean, *a lot*) of people with this problem.

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

just because you inebvraioted pieces of showirl trailer trash don't have a life like dawsons and joeys gives you no right, none sirfuckingree, to diss them - they've got it tough ok, how would you be if yr mum died and yr dad was a coke fiend and yr fish house burnt down. And you turned Jack gay?

― The Original Queen G, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick, are you sure you've got the direction of causality right? Maybe your friends are into Dawson's Creek because they are emotional retards.

Brittany have you considered politics as a career option?
I know you're a little young to be thinking about that too much, but we need some decent people in political life.

― Pete S, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I have never really considered politics....to tell you the truth in real life I really don't have a loud mouth or an attitude I am pretty shy. I think I was so outspoken with this thread because I completely disagreed with what it had to say...and also because I am a huge fan of dawson's creek. But ya know maybe I will considerate polotics for a career. I'm not really sure what I would like to be yet but hey I've got sometime still to think about it. :)

― Brittany, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Brittany, welcome! and take heart--most of the people on this thread (and board) are also pretty shy in real life. that's why they act like jerks on the internet! (nb: not all of of you, you sillies)

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatever you decide to do Brittany, it must help involve helping people. That's the only way you stand a chance of not ending up bitter and twisted and sick and self-pitying and with your soul shrivelled to nought, just like all the people on this website.

Except in M's case it's the other way around! Ha, I can say that cuz he won't curse at me in front of a 14-yr-old.

Anyway, everyone's glad you're here Brittany, and you've done a great job of answering ridiculous questions with reasonable answers. Though I still say No Doubt is bad for the youth.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and Pete, how does entering politics keeps one from ending up bitter and twisted and sick and self-pitying and with your soul shrivelled to nought?

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

If you are pure of heart, like Brittany, you'll find a way through.

Politics is supposed to be about helping people, right?

― Pete S, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it's also about compromise and lesser evils and all that other sausage-making mess. I think heading in with a "pure heart" is a pretty sure recipe for disillusionment.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I once lived with a guy who looked a little like an anorexic Dawson, he turned me into an emotional retard.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

"...not enough Dawson's Creek"

I've never watched an episode all the way through. It's mind-numbing.

― Pete S, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, at the risk of taking a silly question seriously, the answer is no, of course not. No more than it's turning our children gay or inspiring them to read the Two Gentlemen of Verona or driving them to become hokey Spielberg-besotted filmmakers with rectangular skulls. The effects of pop culture are rarely that direct, Ms. Cheney. Also mental health issues /= emotional retardation, thanks.

I will say, though, that I've seen shows like Dawson's work as a kind of screwed-up wish fulfillment for scenester-types in their 20s (and 30s). What's usually written off as a cliched "fear of committment" in these post-kids seems to me more a love of the melodrama that comes from drifting through inadequate, serially monogamous relationships. I think the appeal of DC for people who are demographically "too old for it" is tied in with this.

All that said, I'm sure last season must have severely drained the serotonin out of the diehards who hadn't already had their expectations crushed. (Just like last season's Buffy did to me.) As an outside observer, I thought DC '02-03 was one of the most fascination car-crashes in recent TV history, and I couldn't look away.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm, Keith, very true, very true.

May i say I feel AMBIVALENT towards YOUR tits, HOWEVER?

sooo what do we want to talk about now...? lol

― Brittany, Sunday, 23 November 2003 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Brittany, you should come post on some of the other threads. I think folks are running out of DC comments for the time being.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Sunday, 23 November 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

alright...are there any threads that you reccomend for me?

― Brittany, Sunday, 23 November 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a shortage of interesting debates right now, in my opinion, but for fun & laffs I l like this one: if you were a wrestler, what song would you want played as you enter the ring?

Taking sides:

I give up, we're all fucked
a pile of bodies for the dustbin man
it was a party where the truth spilled out
and people woke up with a different plan
a skinny hippy, in the kitchen
doing magic - turning water into wine
it looked dodgy but it tasted fine...

wrap me up in sellotape
bind my body to my mistakes
the daily mail readers have defeated me
spend another sunday watching dawson's creek

I was a scientist until I was 22
I had an education ready for use
but mother nature gave me head on the beach
and she hung out of reach until I begged for her
I told her everything... I told her too much
I told her everything... I told her too much
I told her everything... (you always do that)

wrap me up in sellotape
bind my body to my mistakes
the daily mail readers have defeated me
spend another sunday watching dawson's creek

we will carry on and on without you
when you leave the room without you
breathe the open air, remember why you're there
or you will be the first against the wall
when the revolution comes - we'll be having fun

wrap me up in sellotape
bind my body to my mistakes
the dumb motherfuckers have defeated me
spend another sunday watching dawson's creek

vs.

You think you know it all,
I see it in the way you’re speaking.
The long words that you use,
Are starting to get irritating,
I’ve got the urge to knock you out,
And i can’t handle this.
The ladder outside your bedroom window
Really takes the piss

Step back take a look where you’re at,
You’re just a raving Dawson’s maniac...

You think that you know everything
Take one step back and look at yourself
I think you dont know anything
All my friends think that youre such a freak
And your just a Dawson’s geek
Dawson’s Dawson’s geek

Why cant you see that you dont look like him
in anyway
At least that kid has friends and thats alot more
than you can say
youve lost your mind and i dont think that you
know who you are
Naming you dog ‘Pacey’ was taking things a little
too far

step back take a look at where youre at
youre just a raving Dawson’s maniac...

I guess I’ll have to wait for your life to be over,
I guess I’ll have to wait,
I guess I’ll have to wait...

Oi!Oi!

I think you dont know anything
All my friends think that youre such a freak
And your just a Dawson’s geek.

two months pass...

Just had to search this for the Jared Leto Gets Hideously Disfigured In The Movies database it contains. What a fucking great thread.
