Re: Glee 3x06 Mash-Off
Ugh, I am on neither Team Finn nor on Team Santana. They were both awful during this episode.
Edit: because I'm apparently more ragey about Santana's bullying than Finn's outing her (mostly because I must admit that I'm almost uncomfortably vindictive when incredibly mad and that if someone had been bullying me the way Santana's been bullying Finn that, had I known something like that about the bully I wouldn't have just softly said it, I would have shouted it down the hallways, and not in Finn's words):
- Santana outed Kurt
- Brittany outed Santana at least two times (the 'sex is not dating' conversation and the 'playing for another team' conversation)
The only difference is that now some adult man thought it would be an amazing thing to use in his smear campaign, and that is not Finn's fault.
Also I'm apparently still not over Santana basically telling Rory to go kill himself. I just. Maybe if she ever apologizes for something I might be able to give a shit.
I mean, tumblr is all over this shit and OMG at least Santana isn't sexually harrassing people like Karofsky!
And I can't believe I'm saying this (god do I hate Karofsky), but at least he apologized and showed genuine remorse. I've yet to see Santana apologize for ANYTHING. Not for physically assaulting Quinn, Lauren (although to be fair they fought back and trying to pick a catfight with Lauren was basically the dumbest idea she's ever had), Rory and Finn, making racist remarks to Tina, ablist remarks to and about Artie, insulting Rachel, Mercedes, Sam and Kurt's physical appearance and actually calling both Lauren and Finn fat, the whole thing with enabling Brittany to cheat on Artie by lying to her, making homophobic remarks to/about Kurt, actually writing an insulting song about Sam and singing it IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE GROUP and, well, basically telling Rory to go kill himself.
She's never apologized for any of it.
And then I made a list of all the horrible things Finn's done and as far as I can remember, the only things he hasn't apologized for (yet) are his horrible behaviour to Blaine and his outing of Santana. And, well, obviously, getting his straight cis male privilege all over everything.
Mother of edit: Okay, spent some more time thinking about it and why I'm still far more angry at Santana than at Finn and, well, this led to some uncomfortable realisations about myself. Can't help but feel glad that my capacity for cruelty is held (mostly) in check by my brain not being wired for quick comebacks (even if it isn't hindered in the least by empathy).
