rory & jess (68)

Dave Rygalski being the only unproblematic guy in Gilmore Girls:

2:41 the contrast between Rory and Lane's boyfriends is very funny

2:35-2:48 Lane’s boyfriends compared to Rory’s boyfriends...

I find Jess really inconsiderate in this scene, he knew Rory was still a virgin at the time, and he should, at least, have asked her how she felt. He also probably knew she wanted her first time to be special (not in a hurry at a party). No bad days excuses his behavior, and the fact that he guilted her into entering the room makes me mad. Sharing a room with him didn't mean she was ready to have sex. She was just looking for him and making sure he wasn't too bored at the party. If anything I applaud Dean for being here for her, even if they are not together anymore. He cared for her as a friend.

Nah man, there’s no excuse for Jess acting like that

Part of me feels like if Dean had just minded his own business, Jess would have caught up with Rory, apologized, and told her everything

I think people are forgetting that Rory and Dean are friends at this point. I am not defending him starting the fight, but he sees Rory come down the stairs crying (someone he cares a lot about) and instantly tries to comfort her. He isn't as bad as all you are making him out to be in this scene geez

the juxtaposition of rory and lane’s lovers is amazing

He was so disappointed he couldn’t hold his promise to Rory to go to prom. He probably beat himself over and over again that Dean would’ve been able to take her to prom. What he did to Rory in kyle’s bedroom was wrong but if he apologized, explained and given Rory time they could’ve survived this

You can see the chemistry between Alexis and Milo yup definitely dating

I never liked Dean but in this particular scene I completely agree with what he did. Rory came out of the bedroom literally crying while Jess followed behind and said, “of course.” Jess then walked away like it was nothing. Dean thought that Rory had just been sexually assaulted (which SHE WAS.) Also, wtf was that with Jess saying, “you came up here on your own.” That was blaming her for saying no. I like Jess but not in the first seasons he was in. Rory continuously said, “Jess wait.” It wasn’t just one time she said no. (Although one time should be enough.) She said it multiple times yet he did not listen. The one time he did listen was when Rory actually had to forcefully push him off. And at the end of the entire thing, Jess walked away like he was the victim. Not okay.

Gosh, a big chunk of why Jess is so problematic as a boyfriend for Rory is that he is such a bad communicator. Dude just say what you feel. Express what you feel. Don't be ashamed of it. Ugh he would have been so perfect. Good thing he matured when he got older though. #teamAdultJess all the waaaay

I cant believe anyone could ever stand up for Jess in this situation, people go and educate ur selves

The fact that people are mad at dean for trying to comfort a friend ( or an ex girlfriend) rather than jess who tried to assault her is so annoying!!!!

Most of the comments here disgust me. You guys are seriously making up excuses for Jess and putting the blame on Dean???? WTH, he assaulted Rory and yelled at her when she's been nothing but sweet to him. Dean beat him up deservedly so. I'm against violence, don't get me wrong, but what Jess did was way worse than what Dean did. Disturbing to see how y'all fail to see that.

I’m glad everyone in the comments agrees this was sexual assault. I always felt like people glossed over this when discussing his relationship with Rory. Dean saw a crying Rory and people said he should have minded his own business??? Y’all will defend Jess no matter what.

Wow so many people defending Jess forcing himself on Rory. Y'all hate on Dean for far less!

I'm sorry but Jess was a terrible boyfriend. He wasn't ready to be dating someone seriously. He never communicated his feelings to Rory. When something was wrong, he hid it from everyone. Whether there's a justification in there or not, it kills relationships when you don't communicate. There was no strong foundation to their relationship because Jess was emotionally closed off. I don't get how people think his relationship with Rory was good. He never answered direct questions, he'd always deflect, and he'd lie ALL the time. That would drive me insane. Sure he has good hair but that's about all he has going for him.

I'm sorry but I don't know how people can defend Jess for this and say he "didn't force himself on Rory." Then what else does it look like to you? Rory told him to wait (indicating for him to stop) MULTIPLE times and was obviously uncomfortable. He even started unbuckling her pants while she was telling him to wait. The only time he stopped was when she had to physically push Jess off of her. So no, Jess did not stop when he was told. If Jess weren't hot, would you all be able to see that he was forcing himself on her? What if it happened to you? On top of that, he lashed out at her for wanting to stop. That sounds pretty toxic to me. Also I'm not saying what Dean did was completely justified because he has some issues, too, but think about it: what else would he think happened if the girl he used to be in love with and still cared about came out of a room at a party with another guy and she was crying? Wouldn't that seem a little suspicious? So I can understand why he would've been mad at Jess, because if the same thing happened to one of my friends with a guy at a party, I would've been pretty damn mad. Dean has some issues, but in this situation, I can understand why he would start a fight with Jess.

The fact that Alexis dated both Jared and Milo is beyond me 😂
