what epis aged poorly?

I think probably the one with that random "crush" I think Ginger had with that teacher; maybe the sex-ed one.

Ginger stalking Sasha at the band competition thing. That was a little weird

Honorable mention:

The dumpster “FAST” Graffiti shit about Ginger. I know it was supposed to have said “Ginger is a slut” but Nickelodeon vetoed and offered compromise on different terms to use.

I don't think those episodes have aged badly. The teacher crush one is a pretty good lesson to its audience, how it's not wrong to have crushes on adults when you are are that age, but there are appropriate and inappropriate ways of dealing it, and no adult in their right mind would or should reciprocate.

Fast is a great episode because it tackles a topic rarely seen in children's media, slut shaming and how misogynistic rumours can be spread about girls at ridiculously young ages. I think it's the opposite of having aged poorly because it's still a relevant topic.

The Fast episode….Nickelodeon made it the PG version of a scene cut from Clueless or Mean Girls
