The worst part for me was Kurt just accepting it, hell, anticipating it. I loved how even Silent Matt had something snarky to add and how mama bear!Santana jumped in to show her support. This was a wonderful fic. You did it justice. It's been burrowing in my brain ever since watching the ComiCon panel and that asshat with his asshat question. Thanks for sharing :)
Sorry to thread crash, but I had to comment. e...ver since watching the ComiCon panel and that asshat with his asshat question...
Thank you! I saw a link to that video on one of the memes and it just bothered me so damn much. The cast handled it much more graciously than I would have. And the LOOKS on some of their faces (Amber and Heather especially) made me feel a bit better, as did the huge round of applause when Chris later addressed it. Still, I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in how much it got to me. :)
VCCV- Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so glad you thought I did this justice. Yes, Kurt did see it coming, like he said it's happened before. mamabear!Santana is awesome in my opinion.
Now I usually avoid comic-con stuff, but I am weak and broke down and watched it...
The question itself was legit, it was just phrased and stated with such douchebaggery! Like it was aggressive and rude, and just looking at everyone's face, they were all kind of horrified, and Amber looked pissed! I couldn't tell if Kevin was looking at Chris, or further down at Ryan, but everyone seemed annoyed/upset by it. And rightfully so.
However, the shining light of this, was Chris' response a few moments later. It was eloquent, well put and well, right. That's kind of exactly it.

That's exactly it: it's not so much WHAT he asked as HOW he asked it. Immediately following that episode, I know the Glee communities / forums lit up with debate. It was definitely a thought-provoking episode. But the idea that EITHER Finn or Kurt was 100% "in the right" or 100% wrong just seems crazy to me: they're HUMAN. (Well, I do think Finn was 100% wrong for using that word. But does that mean that his frustration with his housing situation wasn't legit? Of course not.)
Sorry. I apparently need to learn to let things go.
