So, there's a good reason I normally stay away from B/M discussions or anti-B/J discussions. I know that opinions are opinions and that it's pointless to argue, and people are allowed to ship who they want and whatever, and why do I let it bother me?
It's just, GOD, it makes me want to scream sometimes. Are these people on crack?
So I loved 4.14. Hysterically. Between Brian hallucinating Justin on the side of the road, the wedding cake, the 12-step meeting with the cows, and OMFG, Brian asking Justin to move in with him, I was a mess. "I've been waiting for you to ask me that since the first time you brought be here." Oh Tiny Justin! The love!
But then I go and read some threads on
queerasfolkfans because I'm bored and still high on the finale and can't think of going to sleep just yet. Yes, I know. I should have just picked up a book instead.
But anyway, there's this discussion about how people can't understand why Justin lets Brian lead his life for him, how Justin isn't his own person and obviously is very stupid because he'll give up his career to live with Brian. And then, complaints about how Justin is weak and can't think for himself.
*FROTHS AT THE MOUTH*
This coming from B/Mers! Don't get me wrong, I love me some Mikey, and I love his relationship with Brian, but you think JUSTIN lets Brian lead him around?! Hi, have you met Michael Novotny? Granted, little Mikey has made huge steps to improve himself, but come on. This is the person who was basically at Brian's beck and call for half his life. He was the poster boy for codependency.
And how can you even say that Justin can't think for himself? HE'S MY TINY JUSTIN AND HE'S SO BRAVE! God, I can't even begin to list the number of times he's deliberately done things that Brian didn't agree with. Hello, Dancer at Babylon? Political Activist Poster Boy? Vigilante Gang Member?
People need to stop hating Justin. Justin-Hate makes me angry. And I need to stop reading posts that are clearly titled 'thoughts from a non B/J fan'.
