Glee S03E07
Santana Lopez isn't like me anymore. Santana Lopez is me.
"I love girls, the way I'm supposed to feel about boys."
"I don't want to fight anymore. I'm just too tired. I have to just be me."
"I'm the same person I was a minute ago."
But this episode made me so mad. So, so mad. Mad at Finn, mad at Will, Shelby and Figgins for saying that Santana's slap was UNPROVOKED (BULL-FUCKING-SHIT SERIOUSLY GLEE?), mad at Finn not having consequences for his actions, mad that they chose to sing I Kissed A Girl, mad that somehow the focus on Santana shifted to the oh so high and mighty Finn Hudson in his dazzling armour (fuck you so very very much), mad that Finn got to say "I love you, Santana" and not Brittany (you know, HER GIRLFRIEND). Mad that there was barely ANY brittana interaction in this episode, mad that the HETEROSEXUAL WHITE MALE "saved" the lesbian from suspension and not because he realised EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO HER LIFE, mad that we didn't get to see her parents or her coming out scene to them and mad that NO ONE EVEN ASKED IF SANTANA WAS OK.
Mad that a student/teacher relationship storyline is more important than the one WHICH ACTUALLY SAVES LIVES, mad that we STILL haven't got a proper kiss after TWO FUCKING YEARS and mad that THIS WAS NOT A COMING OUT EPISODE. THIS WAS MORE ABOUT SHOWING THAT *insert massive sarcasm here* GIRLS ARE INCAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES WITHOUT A MAN. FUCK YOU, GLEE.
I'm mad that we didn't see Brittany comforting Santana. But what makes it worse is that we were told it was going to be there, but it was cut. YOU'D THINK OUT OF ALL THE EPISODES, THIS ONE WOULD HAVE HAD THE MOST BRITTANA INTERACTION. But above all, I'm fucking mad at society. Some stupid fucktards are still saying "OMG!!1! FINN'S SUCH A HERO AND SANTANA DIDN'T DESERVE HIS COMFORT BECAUSE SHE'S SUCH A BITCH".
And the writers. Sometimes I really wonder if they know exactly how much some of us need this couple.
The sexism in this show has never been more obvious than in this episode. It's disgusting.
IF FINN IS TO BE PORTRAYED AS A HERO, HE NEEDS TO START FUCKING ACTING LIKE ONE. HEY BURT, YOU NEED TO HAVE A TALK WITH YOUR STEP-SON. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
At this point in time, fanfiction writers can definitely do a better job than the actual writers. But this has been established for a long time now.
I now just need Dorothy Snarker to put my rage and thoughts into eloquent and logical words, because I cannot even right now.
