That’s something Season 1 Whitley would NEVER have done.Ī Different World is such a great show because we saw so much growth between characters – and that growth is so evident in the evolving love of Whitley and Dwayne. He made HER better as well, helping transform her from snotty, delusional mean girl to a caring woman who used her privilege to help others. Over time, Dwayne changed, becoming much more level-headed and cool and, sure, his friendship and later relationship with Whitley was a huge part of that.īut what the critics seem to miss is that Whitley was FAR from the flawless girl who made Dwayne better. At the beginning of A Different World, he was a girl-crazy geek who chased pretty much every woman on campus EXCEPT Whitley. So allow someone who actually lived through this story to explain what REALLY happened. The general criticism of Dwayne is that he’s a selfish screwup who wouldn’t commit to Whitley until she moved on, then he came running back with the infamous BABY PLEASE wedding crashing scene that have every woman in America squealing in 1992.Īlso I realized that many of you reading this probably weren’t even born in 92 and I’m depressed. Like LMMA said above, y’all better stop playing with 80s Babies’ memories before Lutha has to pull up like he did in Meteor Man.Īnyway, to the topic at hand. But this short-sighted revisionism falls in the same faulty bucket as Gen Z calling Richard Dawson a rapist for kissing women on Family Feud or R&B Twitter claiming Boyz II Men were sweater-wearing lames who were too nerdy to get women. Look, all y’all are entitled to your opinions, no matter how wrong they are.

During that convo I mentioned an infamous think piece that’s been floating around for years, one that claims that DWAYNE IS AS TOXIC AS A COVID FACE MASK and Whitley should have instead married Byron, the rich senator with the personality of a dead iPhone.ĭo y’all watch TV or just skim through it?
