is 2gether a fake dating trope?

that can't be right. that's too good to be true. this seems fake.

these girls are queueing like they're in a merch line to see this boy after class. iconic. creepy, but iconic.

idk why this guy is beefing about email. email is by far the easiest way to ask someone you don't know and who doesn't know you to please pretend to date you.

i just need to acknowledge that i've started this thread halfway thru an episode and i feel it is incomplete without the first twenty minutes. i'm not gonna do anything about it. but i am bothered.
