![]() The American version is a loose adaptation of the Israeli original with the same name (set in the 1990s), but with which it shares the description of the troubled life of a group of teenagers. The series Euphoria, by the American chain HBO, recounts the daily life of a group of high school students, and portrays, quite realistically, the vicissitudes of the students in matters of love, friendship, drugs, social networks, sex, etc. It has gone from complete invisibility (where there was no representation of these groups, or they were intentionally censored or omitted), to an imperfect representation (where only negative, simplistic or ridiculing stereotypes or representations were shown), until today, when finally it is possible to see narratives with fairer representations that treat LGBTQ+ people more multidimensionally. The narrative of film and television series has represented LGBTQ+ people (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans) in various ways. The results show that the series presents trans characters very differently from the traditional manner, with a human approach that moves away from the fetishistic gaze. A lot of the discourse about the scene is over-reactive because many of the show’s viewers prioritize the dramatics of the show and its relationships.Researchers from UPF and the UB analysed the representation of LGBTQ+ characters in the television series Euphoria. Sometimes hard decisions have to be made in order to save a life. This scene in particular isn’t about hurting someone’s feelings out of spite or maintaining a relationship. She has seen the dangers of addiction through her mother, so it makes sense for her to do what she can to stop it from also happening to Rue. How could Jules love Rue if she betrayed her? Jules had no responsibility to tell Rue’s mom, but she simply didn’t want Rue to die. When Rue yells at Jules and preys on her insecurities, all Jules can say is “I love you.” This made some fans more annoyed with her. If Jules went straight to Rue, Rue wouldn’t have listened. Whether it was wrong of Jules to do is not up for debate - as Rue said, it saved her life. ![]() I mean, people were even saying that she deserved to be yelled at by Rue as harshly as she had. When it comes to the situation of Jules “snitching” on Rue to her mom, I was surprised at the amount of backlash towards Jules. I do think it’s important to consider how Jules could have made such a decision. I am in no way condoning cheating and infidelity. Jules is in a relationship in which she feels unwanted and disconnected, and Elliot offers her what Rue doesn’t. Like…Like, my body, and my personality, and, like, my soul around what I think men desire? It’s just, like…it’s embarrassing. She says herself: “I just, like, I look at myself, and I’m like, how the fuck did I spend my entire life building this. In Jules’ special episode (and throughout Season 1 in general), it’s obvious that she seeks affection through male validation. Even when they are together, Rue is too preoccupied by her high to be satisfied (both sexually and mentally) by Jules. Rue feels like she’s on top of the world with a girlfriend and unlimited drugs, so she begins to neglect Jules. After she meets Elliot, Rue is using more than ever before, especially after she gets a suitcase of drugs from drug lord Laurie.
