Tumblr seems to be suggesting that season 2 will be focusing on Robbe:  Feeling too lazy at the moment to do some digging to for source or confirmation. |

Cool - he is one of the most adorable of Isak characters and I was looking forward to his season.

Season 1 was good, so I have high hopes for this to be as good.

Weird, I heard they were going to follow the original order, so I'm going to take it with a grain of salt until it actually starts

So everyone on twitter is thinking the wtFock is trolling us by saying its going to be Robbie's season and not Zoe's (Noora) season. Just for views because nobody really paid any attention to the show till yesterday when they changed their banner on the main webpage to Robbie. First clip is Monday night.

Normally I would say no one could be that cruel to give fans of the gay character false hope but after three of the international Skam remakes chose to diminish or outright erase the gay/bi boy's story, it is sadly all too believable.
I am honestly flat out of optimism at this point and won't believe anything until I see with my own two eyes that the original's romance between a gay boy and a bi boy is preserved and presented in a respectful manner.

First clip came out and it's super confusing. Both Zoe (Noora) and Robbie (Isak) both had their own scenes. WtFock is milking this for views, their site crashed for 15 minutes when the clip came out.

Well it looks like wtFock intentionally queer baited everyone into think it was Robbie's season when it was Zoe's all along. The people who have been watching since the beginning are happy about this but it looks like the pissed off a lot of the others.

They're doing this to us again, aren't they? The gay boy's story relegated to a bunch of amateurish Youtube clips.

Well, in Spain is more like a guide of what do you have to do than really a youtube episodes telling a story. It feels like those after school specials of the 90's, maybe i'm unfair because i really didn't follow it but it's what it looks.
The youtube channel is not a problem if they give the character a season with his own storyline.
It's very surprised they follow this route and that in other countries they changed characters when on the original and France the gay storyline is probably the most popular one

I watched that clip and it doesn't sound like he was caught kissing, just that his arm on the other guy and moving backwards led Zoe to believe he was kissing the other guy. Suspicion about the Isak character being gay in earlier seasons isn't new. In the OG, it was when the girls found gay content on Isak's phone. That didn't stop them from giving a season to Isak for his coming out. I wouldn't consider that clip as them abandoning a potential Robbie season. I admit, I am a little worried about the whole youtube thing, but so far it seems more like a similar channel to the balloon squad than a vehicle to bypass Robbie's coming out. This is completely different from Lucas R in Espana where the very first clip was his coming out to the world. The entire point of Lucas R's youtube seems to be a way to bypass showing his coming out in the show so they can give his story to Chris for her season. |

For one thing, these Youtube clips don't have adequate airtime or scope (since they're all videos "filmed" by the character himself) to do justice to the gay character's story. For another, they lack the production values (and frankly the acting quality) of the proper season. It comes off as a very shoddy, poorly-conceived and frankly insulting sop to gay fans because that's exactly what it is. Always it's the gay male who gets the short shrift. Skam Austin - which is the remake conceived by Julie Andem herself - has gone one further and completely deleted any and all male perspective. |

Milan (Eskild) trying to kiss Robbe (Isak) at a party in the season 2 finale. Wonder how their relationship will be in season 3 after this. It will be a different take on the story, but do we know if Robbe is the focus of season 3 for this story to play out properly, or is he once again relegated to the B-grade amateur clips in the same vein as the anti-gay-male Skam Espana? |

He will be the non confirmed main. WtFock doesn't like to tell ahead of time. |
