This so perfectly explains what little of Karofsky's Dad that we've seen, I so, so want this to be what happens.

I remember watching the scene in the principles office and thinking that Paul was nothing like I had imagined him to be, and that had confused me because he was soft spoken and seemingly nonjudgmental of homosexuality, basically nothing that would point to where Karofsky's innate fear of homosexuality would come from.

I love this description of Paul almost as much as I love this description of Karofsky, I really hope to see more of this verse from you. I am a huge fan of yours (although this is the first time I'm commenting on your work XD)

Thanks for reading! And you have NO idea how thankful I was that apparently Paul is a nice person. I know a lot of people have thought that it might have been just a screen, but the truth is that not every homophobic person comes from homophobic parents! And him not being the redneck asshole most of us imagined does make Karofsky eve more interesting.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be writing anything else from this 'verse since most of the time I don't like risking the chance of getting jossed - unless I'm doing it on purpose - so I depend it'll depend on the next eps, maybe.

Again, thanks for reading!

It's common sense knowing that when a nail sticks out, you put a hammer to its head.

THIS. Myles McNutt's ep review suggested that Kurt gets bullied because he's different, not just because he's gay, and I appreciate that you put that POV here as well.

Edited b/c of format fail.

That's something I've personally have encountered in my life, people who don't quite bully but they also think that bullies have the right to do so because the ones being bullied 'should've known better' so. It has always been a little irritating, but it is a POV that does exist, as sad as that is.

Thanks for reading!

I go back and forth between loathing Karofsky and feeling really bad for him. Poor kid clearly has a lot of issues he's going through. I think you did an excellent job of capturing his voice, and this is something I'd love to see on the show. Nice fic!

Yeah, Karofsky is kind of complicated like that.

Thanks for reading!

Fascinating take on Karofsky and his dad ( ... )

And I shall answer with another Snoopy!

But yes, really, you have no idea how much I hope that Paul K. is actually a nice guy who might have a bit of a distant relationship with his son -something, I think, quite common, specially with teenagers- but who loves him no matter what.

Thanks for reading!
