Call me crazy but....

Post image

I know Tori kissing Cat's boyfriend was a terrible thing to do. I would be really upset if this ever happened to me but I'd also be somewhat grateful if I were Cat. I mean, now I know that my boyfriend would cheat on me if he was ever given the chance bc Tori didn't force herself on him. They both went for that kiss. Any guy willing to do that isn't worth my time. So if I was Cat I would've definitely ended things there.

Thoughts?

I feel like this episode is why so many don’t like Tori

u/flowerprincess2001 Jade West šŸ–¤āœ‚ļø 2d ago

and this isn't even the first time she knowingly kissed another girls boyfriend!

u/Relative-Village9801 2d ago

Literally the first episode already

u/Which_Possession1135 2d ago

Her kissing Beck in the first episode was not a big deal imo.

102

u/HowsMyDancing 2d ago

Yes but it is the second time the writers made HER kiss someone else's boyfriend intentionally. It's poor character writing to make the main character a cheater if you want people to like them. Most people really hate cheating.

u/baconcore32 2d ago

And she didnt catch feelings for beck.

u/Which_Possession1135 2d ago

It's not poor character writing to make a character flawed. There are fictional characters that have done worse and are still beloved. It's OK to dislike Tori because of this because by this point she is Cat's friend and has always had a good relationship with her. The narrative never tries to paint Tori as a good person when she does this.

u/darksilver919 2d ago

Sure but different intentions. Kissing beck was payback for jade humiliating her, her kissing Daniel was more complex as it seems they still had unresolved history.

u/HowsMyDancing 2d ago

I mean either way she's a cheater so

u/darksilver919 1d ago

Not a cheater...she wasn't e with anyone

u/HowsMyDancing 1d ago

.....Just because you're not in a relationship if you kiss someone in a relationship on purpose even with or without intent to hurt them you and their partner will still be cheaters because Tori knew Daniel was with Cat.

u/darksilver919 1d ago

Yeh? No one said otherwise

u/HowsMyDancing 1d ago

Well you definitely implied it by replying that she's not a cheater because she wasn't with anyone to my comment that she's still a cheater.

Jade kinda deserves it tho. The way she treated Tori made it justified in my opinion

u/Expensive-Ad-5032 2d ago

Tbf, when Tori first got to the school and kissed Beck, Jade had already decided Tori was her sworn nemesis. They weren’t even friends in a loose sense by that point. When she almost kissed him the second time, he was Jade’s ex. I know, ā€œgirl codeā€ and all that, and it clearly mattered to Tori cause she didn’t go for it. But if she had, Beck was still single and able to date whoever he wanted.

4

u/Special_Falcon408 Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 2d ago

Tori didn’t owe Jade anything when she kissed Beck episode one but she does go on to make remarks like ā€œwhy does she hate meā€ and try to call them different versions of ā€œfriendsā€ or ā€œsort of friendsā€ despite knowing that’s jade’s main grudge against her. My point is she’s in a friend group with her and both girls’ boyfriends she’s kissed which is two higher than usual. It may have been justified revenge but if she’s gonna kiss a girl’s bf she’s gotta know she dug her own grave lol

5

u/Expensive-Ad-5032 2d ago

I agree she didn’t owe anything back then. But even with the grudge Jade, somewhat-understandably holds against her, she still tries to be her friend, which is why she doesn’t kiss Beck again, even though he was no longer dating Jade. I think all-things-considered she tried to be the best friend possible to Jade. Kissing Cat boyfriend was just one of her less-fine moments, as an actual friend.

0

u/Special_Falcon408 Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 2d ago

I wouldn’t say ā€œbestā€ friend possible. She went back and forth with Jade a lot between helping her put up her play or making Jade play a character she knows she’ll hate or not getting her in trouble for faking her black eye or continuing to go through with Prome even though Jade’s play was scheduled for the venue first, etc. Tori makes an admirable effort to be civil towards a girl she shouldn’t have to but it’s not like she’s always trying to be friends with her. I get why Tori did everything she did with Jade but what doesn’t make sense was in the early seasons when she would act like it was confusing that Jade had beef with her.

3

u/Expensive-Ad-5032 2d ago

I guess I mean ā€œbest possibleā€ for Jade, who never really made it that easy for Tori to be friends with her. That’s why she would go back and forth, cause Jade was not responsive to it half the time. Tori did her best under those circumstances, but there were many times Jade treated her like more of an enemy than anything else, and Tori just seems to respond in kind. But I do agree that her acting like it was weird that Jade was so resistant early-on, doesn’t make sense, given that she kissed Beck.

8

u/Ky3031 2d ago

That’s and the fact she handcuffed Cat to the stairway and left her there because she wouldn’t tell her the answer to the bird scene

u/SparklyChemMajor 2d ago

Right why are you asking that stupid question šŸ˜‚

11

u/BetterFly4594 Beck Oliver šŸŽ¬šŸŽ­ 2d ago

I think it was a very valid question. Cat had no reason to be mad. She just kissed her bf. What's wrong with that?

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Nah, fr, though. Who would talk to the person that kissed their bf or gf? Especially if it was a friend.

u/Dacoda43 2d ago

Yeah, it's already awkward even if you broke up with the person, let alone you still literally dating them

I definitely would've been pissed at Tori, though. You're supposed to be my friend and you make out with my boyfriend?!

And you're supposed to be my boyfriend, and you're making out with my friend who is also your ex?!

It's crazyšŸ˜…

u/mmxari Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 3d ago

I like Tori but it’s not only the boy’s fault. As a friend she shouldn’t have done that tho. He may be a cheater but a friend shouldn’t have proven that in that way :(

2

u/Particular_Cycle9667 Tori Vega āœØšŸŽ¤ 2d ago edited 2d ago

Well, there are some fake friends that do tend to do this and I don’t think Tori is one of those fake friends, but I don’t think she intentionally meant to kiss him either. I don’t think that was the intention. I think as bad as it is to say it’s just what ended up happening and then she felt bad about it. Doesn’t make it any less horrible.

Edit: I’m not saying Tori is a fake friend or anything but that there are people out there that claim to be friends that will do crap like this to other people all in the name of testing them.

2

u/Expensive-Ad-5032 2d ago

I wouldn’t say she’s a fake friend either, but she was still wrong for kissing Cat’s bf.

2

u/Particular_Cycle9667 Tori Vega āœØšŸŽ¤ 2d ago

Oh, I’m not disagreeing about that at all. But I do think that she wasn’t intending to do that to cat and she felt terrible that she did. Which is probably white cat for gave her because Tori is a good person overall who made a mistake and this area. Still horrible to do to a person and I think that no one would blame cat if she hadn’t forgiven her, but if that’s the worst thing, Tori’s ever done, I guess that says a lot. Still like I said a pretty horrible thing to do to someone, but it would’ve been a lot worse if Tori set out to do it in the first place.

2

u/mmxari Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 2d ago

I never said she was a fake friend, nobody is perfect. But she was so wrong for doing that, she could have pushed him away tho it’s still something you don’t do to a friend, no matter what.

3

u/Particular_Cycle9667 Tori Vega āœØšŸŽ¤ 2d ago

I wasn’t calling Tori, a fake friend and I wasn’t saying that you were either. I was merely mentioning that there are some people like that in the real world that pretend to be your friend and aren’t and do things like testing your boyfriends.

I think you took my comment out of context.

3

u/mmxari Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 2d ago

Omg so sorry then I think this scene was made to show Tori’s development too like the scene with Beck. And ure right like it was a one time mistake :( And yes I didn’t understand it I’m sorry :(

u/Particular_Cycle9667 Tori Vega āœØšŸŽ¤ 2d ago

It’s fine I don’t think you’re the only one since I’m getting a lot of down votes. But everyone’s in town to their opinion.

And yes, I think it was a one time sake of Tori’s and she didn’t need to happen, but it was still horrible for both parties. And I think a lot of people wish Tori hadn’t done this.

4

u/mmxari Cat Valentine ā¤ļøšŸ˜» 2d ago

yeahhhhh but I don’t understand why the hate goes on Victoria Justice like even if somebody don’t find her character « not likeableĀ Ā» it’s the writers fault. Everyone can have an opinion about a character but hating on an actress that just played it is too weird :( ( I think people would have read the comments under this so you won’t be downvoted anymore for misunderstanding)

3

u/Particular_Cycle9667 Tori Vega āœØšŸŽ¤ 2d ago edited 2d ago

Possibly but I’m not really paying it any mind at the moment, haters are gonna hate right? So I edited the comment if they still don’t understand that’s on them and I don’t need to put energy into it. I know what I meant and you know what I meant and that’s what really matters.

But I do think you’re right on the actresses is not cool.

u/BetterFly4594 Beck Oliver šŸŽ¬šŸŽ­ 2d ago

Excuse me for being nosyšŸ˜‚. I definitely agree with you, though. I'm not a fan of Jade, but that doesn't mean that I hate Liz Gillies. I really like her, and I especially love her singing voice and the control she has over her powerful voice. She seems to be really chill.

u/Ok-Material7304 2d ago

Grateful? It shouldn’t have taken a trusted friend snogging your bf to recognise red flags. Tori was 100% in the wrong here and irl that would be a very big hurdle to get through as friends. He is obviously a willing participant in the kiss and a douchebag but so is she. There were plenty of other avenues tori could have gone down to handle her feelings, including talking to and being honest with cat. So no; grateful would not be one of the emotions I’d be feeling in this situation

2

u/BetterFly4594 Beck Oliver šŸŽ¬šŸŽ­ 2d ago

I definitely agree. That was a shitty thing for Tori to do as a friend.Danny boy wasn't innocent either. Sometimes, though, people are too excited to be in a relationship to catch their partners' red flags. The thought of having a new relationship and an "amazing" partner can blind many people from seeing their red flags. A lot of the time, witnessing them cheating is a good reality check for a lot of people.

10

u/ReferenceArtistic854 2d ago

This incident seemed like people turned on Tori for good. Don't get me wrong, it was a shitty thing to do but Danny wasn't innocent himself. He leaned into the kiss himself. Also, it seemed that others can do worse like Robbie can do Robrazzi and Jade can put two "friends" in danger over her not going a role. You lost honey, get over it. Yet, they're forgiven but Tori is not. Come on people. Also, not a Jade fan but I actually like her in this episode including the Those things upset some girls line.

Not to mention Cat stayed with Danny after that. Tori didn't break them up.

9

u/peachlessbobcat Jade West šŸ–¤āœ‚ļø 2d ago

finding out he would cheat by catching your CLOSE FRIEND kissing him just doubles the pain, though. yes, eventually she would’ve found out danny was a no good cheater but it would have hurt way less if she didn’t trust BOTH PEOPLE involved in the cheating. if i was cat i would’ve dropped tori from my life forever because a friend who is willing to hurt you like this was never a friend in the first place.

u/RaisinDangerous3994 2d ago

In my opinion, I agree that it was wrong for Tori and Danny to kiss when Danny was dating Cat. Ā  Ā Especially in front of Cat. Ā  However, I don’t think that we should just blame Tori for the kiss. Ā  Both Tori and Danny leaned in for the kiss, so both of them are at fault, not just Tori. Ā Also, Tori did apologize and even gave Cat permission to punch her afterwards.

u/Inevitable-Talk-1852 2d ago

What irks me about this storyline was that there was no reason why Tori did this. The boyfriend character never even showed up in the show again. So it’s not like she kissed him because she was still in love with him and wanted to rekindle the relationship. She just did it because they had history. Tori gets a lot of unnecessary hate but I can’t defend her with this one…

3

u/hippiecompost 2d ago

I would have ended my relationship and friendship right then and there. Neither of them are worth it

3

u/SpecialistOne8206 2d ago

This was absolutely Tori’s worst moment and even as her biggest fan she was dead wrong here. But the reason this didn’t make me hate Tori was because of how genuinely remorseful and regretful she was and because Cat punched her in the face (which seemed like it HURT lmao) which she fully deserved.

Also she was openly acknowledging this as the worst thing she’s ever done when interviewed for the wood and I respect her for still being admitting of her mistakes after the fact

Lastly, this is not comparable to the situation in the pilot because Jade was a bitch to Tori on her first day and did nothing to earn any sort of respect or loyalty (doesn’t make what Tori did ā€œgoodā€ but nuance please!). This episode was a worse situation because her and Cat actually were friends at this point, so seeing how awful Tori felt and having a reconciliation scene with Cat was more necessary

I mean to be fair Ik tori shouldn’t have kissed him but he kissed her back (sounds like a shitty bf if u asked me). Also cat also dated this guy even tho she knew he was toris ex and didn’t do anything abt it when she found out tori wasn’t ok with it so really everyone was in the wrong…

7

u/Antique-Ad3178 2d ago

Tori was the one who was wrong because, she told cat ā€œI’m totally cool with you guys datingā€ plus Tori acted like she didn’t like him anymore in the first episode + Cat didn’t know that Danny was Tori’s ex-boyfriend and Danny didn’t know that Cat knew Tori.

Jade poured hot coffee all over her on her first day..and beck could have used his ā€œLā€ for ā€œlet’s notā€ and instead said something different and chose to kiss her.
