Mr. Scheuster is such a fucking creep. I don't see how anyone sees his character as sympathetic. This is just a general blanket statement, though the bit where he kisses Coach Bieste in "Never Been Kissed" was just. . .ugh.

[mywholecry]

Yeah, I highly doubt anything is being healed with the power of Will Scheuster's lips. The entire writing of that scene was fucked up and patronizing, anyway. I feel like if they'd kept her character remotely consistent, she would have reacted in a reasonable way to him kissing her. Like, not being grateful. And possibly punching him in the face.

I was kind of hoping she'd react to the musical apology with a "yeah that's great but you all still fucking suck."

I honestly thought they were going in that direction because her expression was so inscrutable in that scene, but no :(

THIS OMG

He makes me so unconfortable. I couldn't even watch that part.

[mywholecry]

I just kind of stared in horror. He's not made me that uncomfortable since the scene where he sang to Sue, in the funk music episode? That one still fills me with blind rage.

When the line "You are liked and respected."
"For women that's not enough"

I said... WHOA, NO and skipped the scene.

For women that's not enough

It's such a bummer that the writers aren't smart enough to see the implications of that statement. I don't disagree with the statement itself, but the context
made it very clear that the writers weren't commenting on the societal obligation for a woman to be attractive above all else. They were just playing on the trope that all women want to be ~pretty~. Because social conditioning has nothing at all to do with that. :/

[youkiddinright]

I hate hate when shows hints at social expectations and pass them off as ~personnality traits.

Agreeeeeeed. He's so gross. Glee is such an awful show.

[mywholecry]

It really is, but I somehow end up watching it every week. Darren Criss is currently the only good thing about it, tbh.

[fishphile]

It is. I gave up completely on it after the Rocky Horror Show episode and apparently it's continued to fail spectacularly every week so I don't miss it.

But way to squander a show's potential.

I haven't watched it in ages, but I've picked it up for Kurt's newest storyline (and just that, the rest of it creeps me out) and I'm hopeful about what they're doing with it.

[illusivevenstar]

I still love it.

SUCH A PATRONIZING JACKASS
