It makes me SO sad. I like Dave and I like that he's getting a proper storyline (hopefully), but why is the next episode focusing on Blaine? At the moment all women on the show are either decoration, like Tina, or act stupidly like Rachel. I'd love to have the ambitious S1 Rachel back or really just any female character that can be independent (without having a car accident right after that). And of course a redeeming sl for Santana...
Also this! Santana's storyline is supposedly being revisited when her mum comes in but it's won't be a whole episode, just the B story to a Finchel plot or something. Ugh.
Can this stop?? Yes, it sucks that Santana's episode was a giant clusterfuck, but that does not mean Dave's story, which is one of the few the show has left, should be ignored. It's probably going to be just as bad anyways.
No. People aren't saying Dave shouldnt get a storyline but rather are complaining about how little care Santana's coming out got. If one had to be prioritized over the other then it has to be Santana's, because she is a regular. and we did at least have focus on gay males via Kurt and a little from Blaine.
But it doesn't matter in the end I suppose, because chances are they'll fuck up this storyline as well. However the disparity in intent towards male/female characters is still very real and disconcerting.
I love Dave, and I think he should get a good story about being gay / coming out, however. he is not a main character. and the fact still remains that they completely trivialized Santana's sexuality and coming out ("I kissed a girl and i liked it"? "hey guys I told my parents last night, and they were actually okay with it"... really? after the whole buildup and slap in the episode before???).
not to mention that the whole bullying storyline has been told through Kurt and Blaine already, they even hinted at the gay teen suicide thing in Santana's episode, so do they really need to do this again? I'm all for Dave getting a good story but it's like the Glee writers go to bullying/suicide as their immediate default storyline.
He's getting more attention, period, than Tina, another main character who hasn't had her own damn storyline since S1. Same is true for Sebastian. SMH.
I really do not understand why it seems to be a default opinion over here that Santana didn't get enough attention about coming out. She's been struggling with it for two years. Just last year she tried to win Brit through telling her how she felt, singing, and, when those didn't work, winning Prom Queen. She blackmailed Karofsky into being her beard. And then this season she threw a bunch of dodgeballs at the Irish kid because she couldn't handle being closeted, got outed on national T.V., came out to her grandmother, and finally did get Brittany. (And this is all just off the top of my head.) And, additionally, her mom is coming to the show after the "break" to, presumeably, add support to her daughter's situation.
I mean, please don't get me wrong. I am very sympatheic to Santana's situation, being in a situation similiar myself, but I just think it's unfair to accuse Glee of treating genders (in these circumstances anyway) differently. Hell, Kurt coming out only got one episode. ;)
