One of Daria's main traits is her disdain for putting herself out there and trying new things. Let her tell it, there's lots of valid reasons why doing so would not only go against her rigid moral compass, but whatever it is will be ruined by the lobotomites of Lawndale. So she's not completely unjustified in her assessment that the people around her are udder idiots.

The episode I'm going to be discussing titled, "Arts and Crass" centers Daria and Jane's struggle over creative freedom after they're encouraged to enter a statewide student art contest, creating a piece that represents high school at the dawn of the new millennium. Though the art contest claims to celebrate self-expression, we get to see what happens when you're given the illusion of choice, only to be punished when your expression doesn't quite match the vision they had in mind.

In the season 5 episode "Fat Like Me," we follow Daria's sister Quinn and her life in the Fashion Club. We see how the unreasonable standards this group expects others to achieve in order to be members, eventually comes back to bite them, when the club's president becomes temporarily disabled, causing her to gain weight and disqualifying her from her own club.
