Yeah, but the tone of it wasn't serious. It's not just the word abusive, but it's how it's used.

Like I said a while ago, Sam has definetley been physical with Freddie in the past and there is no denying that. The thing is though, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

And my issue is with people who take it seriously and are all "Sam abuses Freddie. He should hate her. She's a terrible person." or even more extreme people say things like "she should pay for what she's done to him" (yeah...I've actually seen someone say that.)

Those are the people who annoy me when they say abusive because they literally feel like it's some serious physical abuse. Heck, I've even seen people call it domestic abuse.

THAT annoys me because it shows a complete lack of perspective and understanding that this is a children's show and what Sam does is meant to be funny and not at all taken seriously.

Sam looking jealous and sad while watching Carly/Freddie dance in iSD is meant to be taken seriously. Freddie getting hit by a truck so that he had to go to the hospital is meant to be taken seriously.

Sam slapping Freddie, followed by a laugh track, followed by both of them forgetting about it ten seconds later is not supposed to be taken seriously. It's supposed to be funny. Maybe not everyone agrees that it is funny, but that doesn't change it's purpose or the fact that it isn't legitmate abuse.

Sorry, I clearly have a lot of feelings about this. ha
