      They pick on James because he's one of the only characters who can see through all their bullshit. (Gerry fulfills the same role for the adults.) If they were nice to him all the time, scenes where they drop the mask for a moment wouldn't work. Take the one where James announces his departure. It's Michelle - the worst bully among them - who pleads with him not to leave. For the briefest moment she drops the posh, mean girl persona and we see her for who she actually is: lonely, insecure, vulnerable.

      It’s funny though, because even though they teased him he was always hanging out with them, getting into trouble with them. The scene where he took Erin to the prom, or when the Ukrainians came Derry and they didn’t want him to hook up with Katya. Or the funeral debacle and obsessing over the cool teacher with them. Sure there are moments where they tease him for being English or feminine, but I think at the end of the day they care a lot about him and don’t really mean it. That’s why the group is always together doing things. ( also michelle is his cousin, so it makes sense why she does the majority of the insults, it’s like me and my cousin 😁)

    They bully him so much you wonder why he stayed friends with them. When he said he has Stockholm syndrome I totally agree. What's really jarring is how uneven the show is. One minute they love him and next they are slagging him off. They almost cried when he was going to leave Derry and in series 3 they think he is dying after the van hits him, yet later on they still treat him like shit.

      @sunnysolaris23 9 месяцев назад +4

      Jeez, that discussion again! Nationality and ethnicity are not god given and cut in stone, they are constructs and therefore construable. If you say that James is irish, you argue from the principle of Jus sanguini (right of blood) which claims that nationality is dependend on the nationality of the parents. But Ireland was following the Jus soli (right of soil) until the end of 2004, which proclaimed that everyone born on irish soil was of irish nationality. When they claim in the show that James is english, it's on the principle of Jus soli (he was born and raised in England). It's a matter of interpretation. So you can claim that James is irish, but that doesn't make it an universal fact, it's still up to interpretation.
