I’ve always had a soft spot for Kaya maybe because of this character (Effy Stonem was IT! to my lil awkward ass), I even loved her in the Skins Fire episode and have seen some terrible movies she was in

[hateistoodark]

The millennial experience is how we all wanted to be Effy so bad

In before someone says not me you know what I mean!! She was pretty and cool!

[thispaintedlife]

millennials who say they didn't want to be effy are lying

[reciprocidad]

I didn't want to be Effy because I wanted to be Cassie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ahegao]

lmao me

[bellyroomfan]

Me too! that can't possibly say anything good about us

[pi_lady]

Millenials who were teenagers maybe, but a lot of us where in our 20s when the show came out, I definitely didn't want to be Effy. lol

[jojito]

True. But I also loved the twins.

[entrospect]

It's not that I didn't like Effy or anything like that. She just wasn't the one I related to.

I liked Cassie. Because she's really whimsical. She's blonde. She looks angelic. And I could relate to her backstory. I don't look anything like Effy or Cassie. I'm a plus-sized black woman. But I could really relate to them both because of our similar backgrounds. So, I was surprised when I was reading about the US Version of Skins and saw that the character that was cast as the Cassie character was black.

So, especially in terms of representation, I think it's important to show all sides of diversity. Not just brownie points for casting a Black person. An Asian person. A Hispanic, and all the multitude of diversity. Nah son, you don't get points for doing the absolute bare minimum by casting a Black woman in the role so you can get the 2-for-1 special. That's not what diversity means to me.
