I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day, check my pinned post for active polls
Tiffany and Daya's arcs are like two sides of the same coin tbh
Tiffany starts off annoying and sanctimonious, but genuinely improves herself and gradually becomes more charming and fun.
Daya starts off irresponsible but kind and unassuming. She becomes increasingly calculating and unpleasant, making worse decisions as time goes on.
However, both of them go through many changes throughout the series based on the influence of the people around them, and both are very easily persuaded while having an aggressive streak.
Also worth noting; Tiffany starts out with a slightly culty clique that she eventually distances herself from. Daya starts out as a bit of a misfit, and then becomes a gangbanger. Both are intimate with a CO at some point.
Y’know, you get used to the endless barrage of “what was she wearing why has she come forward only now why hasn’t she done this I bet the lying whore wanted it” Czech men whip out whenever they as much as hear about the possibility of rape happening (unless the suspect is a Romani or a muslim or a general non-white immigrant, hoa boy, just you watch the newly-minted “allies” froth at the mouth for a good ol’ public lynching on m’lady’s behalf). You even start anticipating that court cases will be thrown out since the local justice system regularly hands out only suspended sentences even for cases that almost ended with the victim dying.
But for me what really seals the bit where Czechia is an institutionalized rape culture and will remain an institutionalized rape culture until the day I die is the crowds upon crowds of Czech women who have bought into the idea that rape is something you bring on yourself by your own stupidity and thus is something the victim deserves to be railed for. And then you look closer and see that the reason why this attitude is so prevalent, up to and especially among grown-ass women over 40, is some serious internalised misogyny cool girl pick-me shit where someone’s rape is seen as an opportunity to assure any guy who might listen that while you yourself are regrettably a member of the idiotic species known as women, you would never be as stupid as to use a cab or have a drink or go outside after dark or visit a male friend at his home or end up married to an abuser, and if you did get raped you’d have the decency to keep your idiocy to yourself, yes, you’re a good woman, a smart woman, but also no evil feminazi, no no no, you’re no dumb mean cow with a backbone, you hang with the boys, you’d never think of standing up for yourself, you even let strangers down in the pub smack your ass and touch your tits tee-hee please for the love of god tell me I’m one of the good ones!
Like fuck, dude, I guess the only solution is to become a hermit in the mountains.
Yes so here is my version of how I'd wrap up the story of Tiffany Doggett and in this version after she passes her exams she is hopeful for the future and she realizes she's still got her horrible fanclub out in the world so with a help of a ghostwriter she starts releasing statements and writings that get ignored by most of her fans but also help in deradicalizing many, many right-wing christians and she becomes famous for all the right reasons and after she gets out of prison she's invited to talk shows and radio programs and gets a book written about her story and she turns so many lives around just like her whole worldview got turned around, and then
