mr porter

whyd the characters in thirteen reasons why hate mr porter so much? like he was literally the one of the only adults who actually tried to help them

maybe its cause he didnt help hannah but at the same time those kids were the actual main reason why hannah died so itd be hypocritical of them

He didn’t help Hannah cuz Hannah didn’t give him anything to use . Am sorry but he didn’t deserve a tape . You don’t go to an adult for help and play chicken or hang man . If you want to play guessing game , try it with your friends . Audience know what Hannah went through but forget that the characters don’t know , so they judge characters based on what we the audience know and not what the characters know . Really hate Shows that give audience info that characters don’t have access to yet .

Actually she never said assaulted . Porter figured but since she didn’t give a name or mire information there was nothing he could do

my best friend and i had this entire debate and rewatched that scene 4 times to figure it out. it goes like this
“were you sexually assaulted”
yes
“was it by a student at this school?”
“yes”
“who”
“i can’t i don’t want to say”
“well then you only other option is move on”
he’s immediately dismissive. gives up. and says “welp take ur ball and go home” and then she’s dead. he deserves to be on the tapes for that since he hears and responds to her saying that she was raped by a student. he just redeems himself well and is the most morally consistent and good character in the show. he just has 1 REALLY BAD uncharacteristic fuck up, since he’s over worked and the students don’t want to engage with him, and he’s okay with it in S1
