Trying to find a comm telm_393 May 20 2011, 23:04:49 UTC

You guys, I remember there was a great comm that was specifically so people could ask questions for something they were writing. Does this wring a bell? I know I'm not being specific at all right now, but it was a big comm.

Like little_details? That's all that I can think of off the top of my head.

Mistreatment of characters by other characters joyful May 21 2011, 14:56:56 UTC

What kind of behaviors do you see on the show that strike you as inappropriate? Which relationships would you classify as emotionally abusive?

It seems to me that all of the characters mistreat one another and that it has little to do with gender. What do you think?

Re: Mistreatment of characters by other characters joyful May 21 2011, 17:07:05 UTC

I find that all the characters do mistreat each other to a point but in the fandom and on the show the girls get away with it. There's so many 'the guys are so sexist' prompts/comments but the girls can be sexist too and they insult the guys way more than the guys insult them. If a guy had done some of the things the girls had, people would think it's emotional abusive. Rachel purposely tries to hurt/humiliate Finn when she's pissed at him and he still ends up with all the hate. Lauren calls Puck stupid, etc and she gets credit for changing him, Quinn gets all this hate for cheating on Sam but Santana doesn't get a lot because people like Brittana but if she'd cheated with a guy...As long as you have boobs you get to play the victim.

Honestly, I see everything you're saying as sexism on the writers' part. It feels, to me, that it plays into the sterotype that, "We're not going to call these characters out on their behavior because this is what women do. All women berate and insult their partners, all women lie and cheat, all women are bad."

It's an incredibly common way of thinking, and I believe that the all-male writing staff of Glee honestly thinks their characters are realistic, which makes me sad.

Whether the writers are sexist or not, it's not right to be calling the guys douches while letting the girls get away with doing the same thing because 'the writers are men'.

The fandom does it with the 'losers' of the group too. Rachel gets away with so much stuff because she's not a popular cheerleader but when Quinn does it she gets torn apart. Just because Rachel isn't popular doesn't automatically make her the victim in a fight against a popular kid. Unpopular kids can be just as horrible as the popular ones and yet they get away with it because 'awwww they're on the bottom of the social ladder.'

So, a recent fill I did involved Kurt telling Finn that his mother died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. As mentions of Sept. 11 often do, this has caused people to want to talk about their own memories and feelings associated with that day. So, that's what this discussion thread is for.

Another thing that has bothered is more than just the things like the school ignoring things, but the implications that certain actions of some character's actions have that get completely ignored ( ... )

So if you're the one your parents favored and pushed to succeed, do you tell them you flunked out of college? Do you guys thinks Jesse told them and if not, what's he going to do next year? I can't see him making enough to live on his own by just choir consulting, especially since most of the choirs we've met either wouldn't use him or can't afford him and he'd need at least 1000$ a month probably to live on his own. Plus he obviously has no idea how to save money since he blew most of his money from ND on a trip to NY.
