Vaguely similar story.

And then later, when I got into the Total Drama franchise, I did the same thing again with Courtney. .... It took until my 2nd or 3rd year of high school to realize I liked girls. 😂
Dude, thank you so much for making this. Watching this as a kid, I immediately knew the lesbian OVERTONES in the “Courtneyisms” of the show. Arguably the most obvious lesbian character in children’s animation.
Courtney, Miranda, and Ginger feel like a love triangle between closeted Lesbain, a Bisexual, and a straight girl that's my headcanon Coutrney is Lesbain crushing on Ginger who is straight and oblivious to her feelings cause she doesn't/can't feel the same way, meanwhile, Miranda is also sapphic though I see her going both ways and is secretly in love with Courtney and ignoring she's obsessing over the straight girl which makes Courtney infatuation with Ginger a bit tragic cause even if she was allowed to be gay (ie the network allowed it) Ginger might have told her that she appreciated her friendship but doesn't feel romantic attraction to other girls
my dude, I have no idea how I got here. I have never seen you or your channel, never seen this TV show, and I'm a gay man, the furthest thing from a lesbian- but oh boy I'm 30 mins in and I aint stoppin any time soon
I suddenly need more content about Courtney being gay omg?? I never considered it but this is excellent. Excuse me while I reimagine the whole series with this lens 😩🤌🤌💖💓💗
I agree and I see it as totally one-sided. Courtney is obsessed with Ginger, who is obviously boy-crazy. I know the writer didn't intend this (check it out in her interview with Old School Lane), but I believe Courtney is in love with Ginger. I'm straight and can see it too. Sure, I got jealous of my friends as a young teen, but I didn't want to bask in their scent or call their charm captivating. Courtney is so in love with Ginger, and it's so interesting that so many people pick up on this without it being suggested. Thanks so much for this dope analysis.
@shimauta1941Compulsive Heterosexuality can do that. It was coined by Adrienne Rich in the 80's in an essay that explains that not all women with an attraction to men have natural attraction to men. That heterosexuality can be ingrained. You could say that is an example of Courtney's possible Compulsive Heterosexuality. This popularly abbreviated to comphet. It's such a well known concept and experience that Chappelle Roan's song "Good Luck, Babe" is about someone having a comphet girlfriend. I highly recommend watching the video in its entirety, if you haven't already done so, and just here her out. It's good to listen to other people's perspectives on things. Don't immediately shut the idea down and bully people into silence just because this idea makes you uncomfortable.
Courtney reminds me SO much of Tomoyo (a.k.a. Madison) from Cardcaptor Sakura. I only found out as an adult that Tomoyo canonically had a crush on Sakura in the Japanese language version... which would explain why Courtney has a similar energy towards Ginger.
I love how it works either way. Your theory fits nicely but also close friendships at that age are pretty close to romantic relationships. I mean if you havent been confused for a couple with your bff, are you really bffs?
As someone in high school who was in the more quieter social groups, who had a random from the more socialite social groups, Take Interest In Me For No Reason, only to have it to eventually show Signs of It Being Gay Attraction, I've always kinda seen it. Like I remember re-watching it that year, and being like "omg we have a friendship like that!". because i was trying to process, why she noticed me out of the crowd, and then she was overly-flirty, like blowing kisses overly flirty...in over a decade of retrospect, she was into me but VERY closeted lol. She met me through shared classes--art, history, spanish, gym, english... (And for those who wanted a good YA plot...she had a boyfriend and wound up switching schools...)
I guess you're both ignoring the massive crush Courtney has on Daren's brother Will. Courtney's infatuation with Ginger could hint at her being bi-curious but whether that would evolve into bisexuality or be outgrown in her adulthood we have no way to know given how the series concludes. I'm not even going to touch on Blake having a thing for Carol because honestly that one isn't even worth entertaining.
@shimauta1941 Actually, I did think that Courtney was bi until I watched the whole video and the arguments leveraged about her interest in Will and the Senator's son kinda made me rethink my stance from "Courtney is Bi" to "Courtney is a Lesbian" Maybe actually watch the video since it seems clear you didn't

I love this lol. When I was a kid I used to think Miranda had a crush on Courtney because she was so mad everytime Courtney was nice to her. I never took a second to wonder why she was so obsessed with Ginger lol.
@callanightshade8079 I forgot to add, Sasha is a shortered version for Alexandra (women) and Alexander (male). It's like both sexes got thd same short version. And yeah, in my school I had at least one classmate named one of those names. We usually used surnames instead. I was one of them. I used to hate my name, but I think Alexandra sounds like little bells ringing so very cute
Commenting for the algorithm, just to say. Too true! I've watched this back in the day, and even then it felt like Courtney liked Ginger..a lot. Way more thqn her canon platonic friends do
Oy, I definitely remember the birth video in 7th grade. Mostly because my teacher mentioned how it's amazing, the district had a video without cursing.
I don’t know why I’m reminded of Naturally, Sadie is a Canadian teen comedy drama that ran for three seasons from June 24, 2005 to August 26, 2007 on Family Channel.
You will blow up, I had a blast listening to this project. I felt so sad by our hero's downfall though, but it was kinda a theme of peaking in a certain School, in this case, she peaked in MIDDLE school instead of the common high school. Then again, any problem that you can mention about Ginger and Dodie's friendship, you can say about Courtney and Miranda's.
@@nostalgiamostalgia0319 Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing this. It’s sad that she fell off, but it does make some sense that she just peaked. And in fairness, friendships in middle/HS can just be messy lol
This is an interesting video. I grew up watching this show and never thought of Courtney's character this way, but you bring up a lot of interesting points i never thought of before. It does seem like Courtney could have had a crush on Ginger. Her crush on Will doesnt necessarily mean she could never have a crush on Ginger or that she couldnt have had a crush on both of them at the same time. On the other hand, I can also see how Courtney could be interepreted as being overly sheltered/awkward due to her privileged upbringing and that she was just trying really hard to be Ginger's friend. I think it's open to interpretation but I think both takes are valid :3 (although I'm definitely in the Courtney is gay camp now just personally speaking lol)
Why? Because retroactively projecting LGBTQIA+ labels onto fictional characters is life changing/life affirming for what is maybe 1 percent of the Earth's total population? This is fanfiction theorizing and like all fanfiction and fanfiction theorizing it should not be entertained as important in any way shape or form, let alone as reality.
I definitely disagree with people's reading of Courtney as having romantic feelings for Ginger. You can be very attracted to, even obsessed with someone and not want to be with them in that way. But, I do love Courtney and am going to give the video a watch anyway
At my school we actually did watch a health video with a birth and it did show things. However, we were in high school when we saw it not middle school.
Ginger was not gay for Ginger. Courtney was fascinated that Ginger was the only one who treated her like a normal person. Ginger didn’t grovel, treat her like royalty etc. I do love “As told by Ginger” content though.
Only 3 minutes into the video, and you've already contradicted yourself. First minute you say you're confirming she's gay, just to say the CREATOR said she wasn't. I'm not even going to bother watching the rest. I really do hope you pointed out she had a crush on Darren's brother somewhere.
@georgie.monologues-z2d that's fine and dandy. That said you can't really say you're confirming or proving something about the show like it's a fact and not an opinion. Especially when afew minutes later you admit that the creator of that show said the it wasn't true! Not only is it wrong it makes you look bad contradicting yourself within the first few minutes of an over 2 hour video. I'm sure there are plenty of fan fics of the show that do make her gay, but they aren't canon.
watch the entire series you'll be in for a show that has aged like a fine wine (in spite of a single transphobic moment in the finale that is easily forgiven for how incredible everything else holds up to the test of time) it is all on Paramount+ and worth it!
Assuming that's not an attempt at trolling, her family is what the actually rich in society would call "new money" for most of the show. By the end her father gets busted for fraud and the family sees a big enough fall from grace that Ginger's family is set to move into Courtney's house and Courtney's family is set to move into Ginger's house before the epilogue which takes place years into the future. The epilogue in question doesn't give us anything to work with regarding the fate of Courtney's family although most people take the fact she isn't in the final scenes as an opportunity to say Courtney and her family probably aren't doing too well.
Nice clickbait title. I guess you're ignoring how much of a crush Courtney has on Daren's brother Will. The best I could give you on this is that she might be bi-curious because she definitely does have some level of infatuation with Ginger. Considering everything we don't know about what happened to her later in her life it's a 50/50 in either direction of whether she outgrows her bi-curiosity or it evolves into her living her life as a bisexual (whether openly or privately is likewise a toss up).
This is exactly what I thought, and at an excessive 2hr 14m. I love the show, but I cannot spend over 2hrs, listening to a fan fiction theory about Courtney. And yes, she was thirsty for Will.
Ya'll are literally taking someone else's opinion way too seriously 😂😂😂 also mustn't we not completely ignore the fact that there are plenty of examples of gay people out there guilty of denying their gayness for decades and suddenly after years of marriage and children with someone of the opposite sex, they suddenly confess that they are gay!! Seeming out of the blue..😮😮😮 this is absolutely not unheard of.. takes a two second Google search 😉👍
Not clickbait. It's her take. Anyway, the Daren's brother thing could be taken in the context of Courtney being obsessed with social status and her constant clutching onto the status quo of things that Ginger always brought her down to earth on when the two were brought in to butt heads on issues. All things considered: it's a kid's nickelodeon show from the 2000s, even if there were people in the production team that wrote things to indicate Courtney having a crush on Ginger, there was NOOO way they would be able to fully pursue it. Look at Legend of Korra. It aired over a decade after As Told By Ginger, and Nickelodeon wouldn't let Korra and Asami do more than have a couple hugs, hold hands, and make eye contact, and wouldn't even allow confirmation in dialogue.
@@watersoluble5871 The fact of the matter is the character was not written as a lesbian. Thus making the claim in the title of the video is indeed an attempt at clickbait. It's not posing a question, it is outright claiming the statement as fact rather than the fanfiction nonsense notion it is.
She was not gay. She was trying to be a good friend of Ginger. Stop thinking that everything is gay or turning straight characters into gay characters which they’re not.
Calm down.. everybody has a right to their own opinion...🙄🙄 The show left Courtney's character pretty ambiguous when it comes to who she ends up becoming in the future. Most people in general don't know for sure until they are and adult!!🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

@@deceased_water no way, and stop getting off on telling other people what to do. Sure I may not like her opinion, but I wouldn’t tell her to not make the video.
Im in my mid 30’s and recently going back to childhood memories because I just found out I am not heterosexual. I kind of felt this « fascination » since childhood for same saxe couples in show, and when trying to remember if I had fictional girl crushes the first two characters that came to my mind where Ginger and Courtney.
This is the moment where I step in to tell you that being fascinated by someone of the same gender does not equate to homosexuality. You and the person who made the video both have made the choice to ignore that Courtney spends the whole series crushing massively on Daren's brother. At best, and I still think of it as a stretch and people of the LGBTQIA+ persuasion seeing things and projecting, Courtney might be bi-curious. Whether that would evolve into bisexuality or be outgrown in her adulthood though we have no way to know due to how the series ends.
There's no such thing as "seeing things and projecting" when it comes to fiction, any interpretation is valid as long as it is supported by the text. And just because a girl has a crush on a boy doesn't automatically make her straight, bisexuality is a thing.
@@georgie.monologues-z2d Yeah they're characters who don't really exist but you still want to read them as LGBTQIA+ instead of Heterosexual. Because being heterosexual is a bad thing to you somehow I guess.

Me too. In hindsight some of my friendships that were a bit more obsessive were actually crushes before I realized I wasn’t straight
This is the moment where I step in to tell you that being fascinated by someone of the same gender does not equate to homosexuality. You and the person who made the video both have made the choice to ignore that Courtney spends the whole series crushing massively on Daren's brother.
At best, and I still think of it as a stretch and people of the LGBTQIA+ persuasion seeing things and projecting, Courtney might be bi-curious. Whether that would evolve into bisexuality or be outgrown in her adulthood though we have no way to know due to how the series ends.
There's no such thing as "seeing things and projecting" when it comes to fiction, any interpretation is valid as long as it is supported by the text. And just because a girl has a crush on a boy doesn't automatically make her straight, bisexuality is a thing.
@@shimauta619 this is the moment where I step in to tell you to take a deep breath & lighten up lol they’re characters, they do not exist
@@georgie.monologues-z2d Yeah they're characters who don't really exist but you still want to read them as LGBTQIA+ instead of Heterosexual. Because being heterosexual is a bad thing to you somehow I guess.
