Chatting with Peach about our favorite and least favorite characters. On the topic of my favorites, of course I had to say, "Every preppy ever. With the exception of Chad."
"Why not Chad?" asked Peach.
"He's just so uninteresting," I replied. "Like Rockstar made him at the last second and didn't give him a personality."
Moving along, we talk about the jocks and our dislike for Damon. And that's when I was struck with this thought.
If you don't already know, Damon was originally intended to be a prep at first but the idea was scrapped and he was made into a jock. Now I'm lead to believe that Chad was rushed as a character just to replace him, because you just have to have that one black kid in a clique.
Peach goes on to add that Bob might have been removed to make room for Damon, because Bob wouldn't fit as a prep and thus might explain why the Jocks have two blacks. Although I've always been convinced that it was the stereotype that blacks are more likely to play sports during high school/college, that's also a possibility. Bob could have also been removed for being a little bit too gay, but whatever.
ANYWAY the point of this thread being that Chad might have replaced Damon as a prep at the last second and R★ just didn't bother to give Chad a complete personalty. Is Chad meant to be boring as hell? Why did Damon suddenly become a jock during development? Am I looking too much into this?
Your thoughts on this. I hunger for them.
