Foggy isn't the perfect, unproblematic college activist whose views line up precisely with those of an author who's likely in a whole different demographic.
I like socially conscious foggy, but (at least in the MCU) %75+ of that is pulled out of a fan's ass.

Amen.

I love Foggy too, but seriously.

Seriously tho. Foggy took a language course because he wanted to fuck a girl.

Okay... but Matt guessed that Foggy was taking it for that reason, which means it can't be that outrageous a thing to do. And then Foggy implies later that Matt did a similar thing re: his Spanish class. So, can we all not shit all over Foggy for being a somewhat typical 17-18 year old who makes misguided or dumb romantic decisions?

I mean, Felicity freakin' chased a guy cross-country and chose her school based on him on that show. And some people could read what Foggy did as romantic if he was maybe seeing this girl first or wanted to date her properly.

I'm not trying to be overly defensive of people with a social activist headcanon, because I do think that they're stretching a bit. But I think the people automatically taking offense based on Foggy's behaviour are also stretching a bit and reaching to make the opposite argument. It's a couple of throwaway lines from the character at a time where Foggy's supposed to be younger and lacking maturity (especially given everything else we can tell about him based on his appearance and mannerisms in those scenes).

Both arguments are perfectly valid at this point.
