>>110759499as a girl whose only friends were boys, I always dreaded these episodes. Hated how they always drew weird unnecessary attention to this trivial difference, and often made the cast act super out of character in order to try to justify dividing them on stupid lines that the characters never otherwise cared about. and even as a kid I was well aware of the common "if the boys lose it's because those boys in particular suck, if the girls lose it's because girls in general suck" mindset.
also yeah it was overdone and lazy.
>>110761598There really were basically 5 storylines that every cartoon in the 90s-2000s were legally obligated to follow, huh.
