** Hayley and Tara: Are they really just stuck up, spoiled snobs or [[Jerkass Facade|insecure girls]] who [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|knew their singing was bad]] and that's why they needed Hayley's father to pronounce them the winner every time?

** Also, Robbie's dependence on Rex and Andre's rarely-seen grandma come perilously close to "let's laugh at the mentally ill." Some believe Cat also qualifies, since it was said in one episode she has psychological problems.

*** That one ''may'' be a little more understandable. The full message is, "Sometimes, it's nice to forgive and other times, REVENGE ROCKS!!!" What Tori does to Ryder is revenge, yes, but when you consider how many girls he's used like he did Tori, it can also be seen as saying he's not going to get away with what he does anymore (imagine the aesop that would've resulted if Tori had just pitied herself over it).

* [[Protagonist Centered Morality]]: Trina having no friends (or being borderline abused by her parents) is portrayed as what she deserves for being conceited. Considering Jade and Tori have done much more horrible things than Trina, if she was a main character, she would probably be [[The Woobie]].

** [[True Companions]]: The gang themselves are kind of an deconstruction of this: Sure, they're now hanging out with Trina, but as Jade claims, no one likes her. Robbie and Sinjin are treated like social rejects, though Sinjin has it worse. Cat, according to Jade, is just a pet. The only characters who avoid this treatment are Tori, Andre, and Beck.
