Are we living in a world where free speech and sporadic instances of sarcasm are considered "bullying"? If that's the standard we have to apply to, then every single person on that show is a bully. Even precious Kurt. Especially precious Kurt. Anyone who thinks that outing is worse than being called fat a couple times really needs to grow up and experience life. I really have no sympathy for people who whine over being on the receiving end of sarcastic comments.

I've already drained myself of a good deal of anger against that maligned episode on my Tumblr. http://ryureblog.tumblr.com/<br /><br />Seriously, I so much to criticize. It's like the show has actually gotten worse even though they supposedly hired more female writers. Like where was Brittany? Where was Santana's parents? We may never know.<br /><br />I'm still going to watch tonight for Santana and Brittany and Brittango. But I swear if they just drop Santana's storyline and don't even address how Brittany feels I will hit a wall (figuratively, and feel bad literally). http://ryureblog.tumblr.com/post/13663455988/dont-underestimate-brittanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-88261733771590340232011-12-03T23:53:18.845-08:002011-12-03T23:53:18.845-08:00c. Religion: Religion is a hot-button topic, and...c. Religion: Religion is a hot-button topic, and one that can very well convince someone you thought was a friend or family against you. It's rather unlikely that your Catholic bff will turn to you in disgust for having body issues. Moreover, I'm pretty sure there aren't many churches out there preaching intolerance (or outright hate) of "fat people" like they do of homosexuals.<br /><br />d. This point will differ a bit as I address an issue many lesbian women find themselves dealing with - the issue of rape. How many times have gay women heard the line "you just need the right dick," or other variants? There is a sentiment, spanning all the countries in the world, that lesbians are sick, and can be cured by being raped by men. In some countries it is even a legitimate, legal treatment, and even in countries which state unequivocally that rape is wrong, individuals bigoted enough, violent enough, think this too. And I have to add in my personal feelings here, because if some man - taller, bigger, stronger than myself - came up to me and told me I just wasn't f****ed right and that he could "fix" me, (which actually did happen to Santana, albeit with PG language), one of the firsts thoughts running through my mind is "is this guy going to follow me home and try to rape me?" I cannot speak for those who've been bullied for being overweight, but I do not think woman being made fun of for being "fat" having those same initial thoughts.<br /><br />So to sum up, We must measure being outed vs. weight bullying not by the individual outcome (because as you said in your post, it differs person to person), but by the POTENTIAL for harm. Being outed and being bullied because of weight can both result in intense psychological damage, but being openly gay (whether by choice or not) has the much higher potential for being physically harmed. And so I must conclude that being outed is worse than being bullied for being overweight.<br /><br />And that will be the end of my comments. You may take from this what you will, but I feel as though I've hijacked Ms. Snarker's blog overly much.<br /><br />-wordy anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-932591503352243942011-12-03T23:52:51.483-08:002011-12-03T23:52:51.483-08:00To Angela,
I'm afraid we'll have to agree...To Angela,<br /><br />I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree, but I will at least explain my side of the "outing is worse than being called fat" point.<br /><br />Let me preface this by saying how glad I am for you that you lived in an environment where your sexuality was a non-issue. I can only hope that in the near-future, every member of the lgbt community will experience that same acceptance. It is also not my intent to demean what people with body issues can experience, but to put forth what people who are outed can experience as well.<br /><br />As mentioned before, and we both agree on, bullying about appearance - weight in this particular dialogue - is horrible. As in your case, it could be terribly damaging, and there is no excuse.<br /><br />However, in judging between these two one must take into account the potential of harm involved. This is important, so important that it is worked into our current legal system. For example: drunk driving. It is illegal whether or not you crash the car, because of the possibility that you would. No cop is going to say, "well, you're drunk, but you didn't run anyone over, so hey! No harm, no foul, be on your merry way!" So with this in mind, I will compare weight bullying with outing someone. Because I apparently love numbered points, I will continue to use them. (Don't worry, there are only 2.)<br /><br />1. Internal (Psychological) Damage: This we both seem to agree on. Making fun of someone about their weight can cause extreme emotional distress, to the point of physically affecting their bodies and/or behavior. For example - eating disorders, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, etc. But please know, people who are outed can also suffer from these symptoms.<br /><br />2. External Damage: First, to clarify what I mean by "external." I mean physical damage or harm that originates from someone or somewhere other than "yourself" - other people, basically.<br /><br />This is where "outing" becomes "worse" than weight bullying. And also where I cannot resist the use of sub-points.<br /><br />a. Community/peers: Overweight teens and gay teens are both at risk for being physically assaulted. However, being overweight is still much more "acceptable" than being gay in most of the country. <br /><br />b. Family: 1 in 4 gay teens are kicked out of their homes. While I am sure there are some absolute shit parents out there who would kick their kid out for being overweight (or otherwise failing to meet their warped standards of outer beauty), there is no comparison in the percentages between the two. In fact, curious about the numbers I did some light research but could not find any surveys or reports on teens who have been kicked out of home for being either overweight, or bullied for being overweight. The fact of the matter is, when you go home to your parents after school and tell them you've been bullied about your appearance, chances are they won't disown you and toss you to the curb.<br /><br />(Oh goodness, I actually had to cut this comment into halves.

And yeah, why are there no consequences when the boys fight?????<br />I absolutely disagree that being outed is worse than being called fat. It completely depends on the person. Granted, I went to a super liberal high school and no one cared that I liked girls, so I don't exactly know how being outed would have felt, but I did struggle with a serious eating disorder, and if someone in high school had called me fat, it would have DESTROYED me. So basically I just disagree with the victimization of Santana. But you're right, she is being punished in many ways. I think there are many lessons to be learned from this episode...unfortunately the poor execution makes me think that it won't do much good for current high schoolers. <br />-AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-5969201055198285042011-12-02T15:21:31.502-08:002011-12-02T15:21:31.502-08:00Brilliant commentary. Thank you. Outing is an act ...Brilliant commentary. Thank you. Outing is an act of violence, a raping of one's identity. To have it treated in any other fashion is to reinforce the idea that closeted gays are waiting for the "salvation" of outing. It's no different than a Christian telling a Jew or Muslim in front of her children that she is going to hell unless she accepts Jesus as her personal savior and then smugly bragging about that alleged "good deed." Those acts change nothing other than the evangelist/outers' feelings about themselves.

Bullying is wrong, no matter what form or from who. Finn certainly did not deserve to be picked on by Santana. But if you accept that Santana is in the wrong, so must you accept Finn was in the wrong. You can't have it both ways.<br /><br />2. General consensus among Santana fans is that yes, we hate Finn. But as far as I can see, none of us say that Santana was right for bullying Finn, or that he even deserved it, like so many people say Santana does. We think he deserves the slap, certainly, but not all the verbal digs at his appearance. And if you think the slap was such a big deal, please remember Finn sat on top of Puck and straight up punched him in the face repeatedly, on the ground, in season one. And that was their second fight, to which neither boys were disciplined.<br /><br />3. Being outed is not the same as being called fat. It's like comparing being punched and being shot. Both are crimes of assault, hurt the other person, but do very different levels of damage. Santana punched Finn. It was wrong. She shouldn't have done it. In retaliation, he took a gun and shot her. (Or, if you think that I'm being too dramatic, he used a bat and hit her with it. Is that better?)<br /><br />4. Finn is constantly touted as the "hero." Santana is always cast as the villain. Even more importantly, Finn BELIEVES he's the hero and a "leader," Santana claims upfront she's, well, a bitch and a villain. If Finn is meant to be the good guy, then yes, he must be held up to higher standards. If the show wanted him to be just a normal guy who screws up sometimes and has as much "bad" as "good," then I wouldn't be so angry. But he isn't. He's cast as a role model, as the guy to look up to and follow, so him being allowed passes where other characters are not is hypocritical and unfair. As mentioned before, he was punished for the use of the word "faggy." He was not a hero there. There were no excuses. Why is he suddenly a hero for outing Santana? Both are verbal attacks rooted in homophobia. No one agreed that Finn was justified using that word.<br /><br />5. Santana is being punished. She got banned from New Directions (as temporary as it was), almost suspended for the slap (which again, hypocritical considering all the fights that happen in previous seasons). She's mean and insulting, and to that end clearly lacks the friends that Finn has, as only Britt (and seriously, where the hell was she this whole episode? you know, as the awesome supportive girlfriend who stood by her since before Finn even knew Santana was gay?) and possibly Quinn could be truly called her friends. So yeah, she does reap the oats she sows. Why can't Finn?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-22149722609055149132011-12-01T22:14:54.022-08:002011-12-01T22:14:54.022-08:00You've pretty much covered everything.

But what I cannot get, what I cannot fathom, is how the writers ignore Finn's outing of Santana (no, it probably wasn't done maliciously, no, he didn't mean for it to end up in a smear campaign broadcast across the state, but the fact remains he did it in a public place, where several people clearly heard him). And not only did they ignore that, but they actually CHAMPIONED him. I can put up with his entitled attitude and dialogue - that is his character. He's a privileged white boy bumbling around who never really gives any deep thought to consequences outside of how they might directly affect himself. What I can't put up with is the fact that the show and it's writers refuse to call him out on his behavior towards Santana. When he called Kurt's decor "faggy" was he a hero? No. Burt said it, Kurt said it, the tone of that episode said it - there was no excuse for such homophobic language. Kurt is bullied, physically assaulted, gotten a death threat from a boy who turned out to be gay, and yet over the course of several episodes and several opportunities, Kurt refuses to out his oppressor.<br />BUT IT'S OKAY IF FINN DOES IT TO A GIRL, BECAUSE EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW ANYWAYS(and if everyone already knew, then why did Salazar's niece Share that piece of info with her uncle days after Finn yelled it in the hallway? why not earlier, like at the start of all the campaign mudslinging?), AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT LEZBO WAS BEING A TOTAL BITCH TO HIM ANYWAYS.

I recognized that Glee had a shitload of problems from the get go, and I'm actually one to let most things slide off my back, but I have honestly never been so disgusted and appalled by a TV episode as I have with this one.<br /><br />Glee has two gay writers and claims to speak for the underdogs, the diverse, those who don't feel they fit anywhere, the "other." Kurt is openly gay with the most wonderful supportive father who would do anything to protect and encourage his son. Rachel has two gay dads she loves and cherishes and is not ashamed of, no matter how hard the social ladder stomps all over her. And yet, to all these people, real and fictional, it is suddenly somehow okay to out someone. Sorry Santana, but you know what?

Finn was wrong, and absolutely deserved to be slapped and more, but what he tried to do to make up for it was right, and something Santana really didn't deserve, and something SHE would never do for someone else. Yes, everyone deserves to be comfortable with who they are, but isn't the whole point of that is what you said, being gay doesn't make you, as a person, that different. I'm judging her on her personality alone and I really don't understand why sweet wonderful brittany even likes her in the first place. <br /><br />She shouldn't have been outed - but she also shouldn't have gotten the wonderful support she did afterwards, as a person, she doesn't deserve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-67959075462904242542011-12-01T05:13:18.496-08:002011-12-01T05:13:18.496-08:00It just sucks wait two weeks for this episode.

It's absolutely absurd that the episode that was supposed to be about the woman was so male-centered. Though, I don't agree that Rachel sacrificed herself for Kurt...if she wouldn't have been a dumbasss in the first place and stuffed the ballot box she would not have had to "sacrifice." And like many commenters have already said, the abuela scene was awful, really made me cringe. Their relationship was not believable, and Santana's dialogue just didn't seem right. But most importantly, I don't blame Finn for outing Santana. Of course, no one deserves to be outed. But also no one deserves to be verbally abused, and how Santana was treating Finn was also psychological violence. As dirty as it was that Finn yelled down the hallway, Santana pretty much deserved it. It doesn't matter if you are gay, bi, straight, transgender, whatever, if you are just plain mean, you better expect that people are going to be mean right back, spill your secrets, and say things that will hurt you, just as you have hurt them. Why should Santana's decision to keep her sexual identity a secret be respected, when she didn't treat any one else with respect? I would not have said what Finn did, but given the circumstances, I just couldn't feel bad for santana. but maybe i'm just bitter that she's sharing sweet lady kisses with brittany and i'm not :)<br />-AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-47025398580508657032011-11-30T18:25:14.463-08:002011-11-30T18:25:14.463-08:00Completely true.

"Out, out ...P.S. (forgot to add this earlier)<br /><br />"Out, out damn Gleek"<br /><br />That was adorable and brilliant the way you, Ms. Snarker, alluded to Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth. :)<br /><br /> "Lady M. Out, damned spot! out, I say!"<br /><br />And it was a running theme throughout your critique. They, the writers? really did murder this very serious subject of outing/lesbian love. <br /><br />Also, more importantly, I remember a quote from a very cute show you have mentioned on this very blog, uttered by that lovely rascallion, J. Murray's Aphrodite in "Valentine":<br /><br />"Love is a scary business. Savage and exacting, and has the power to raise cities and bring men to their knees. It spoils good taste and social mores, cutting across borders to make enemies of friends and friends of enemies. It takes what it wants, does what it wants, goes where it wants. Love is a damn beast. But I can see how a young college girl facing raw uncut true love for the very first time, especially a love that asks her to question everything she thought she knew, and decides to run away."<br /><br />Lesbian: You're scaring me.<br />Aphrodite: Oh, I'm perfectly harmless, it's love you [we] need to worry about.<br /><br />As Aphrodite turns to say she has such a "soft spot for lesbians", I really have to add why that probably is: lesbians ARE truly more romantic/serious/thoughtful than most when it comes to love. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK_9ZoD2dVE&feature=related<br /><br />IMO, that's what the Glee writers butchered.<br /><br />We all have our own coming out stories, and I shall not retell mine here, but I remember there was such a mocking atmosphere about me -- I wasn't taken seriously.eggheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588124238754622908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-82881723760348340372011-11-30T17:12:02.159-08:002011-11-30T17:12:02.159-08:00Here's my opinion on the matter.

However, I feel like Glee has been lacking on the amount of episodes its been shipping out. This is Glee's last season with the original cast. And I feel, strongly feel, like they shouldn't be taking ANY hiatuses whatsoever. This episode was horrible. Plain and simple. I don't like Finn's characterization as this "heroic" football player because he isn't. He's a jerk, and a social climber. The thing is, this episode should have focuses itself on Santana, only Santana. The writers should have created more episodes to reach to the point where Santana comes to a serene point and finds that she needs to come out to her parents and her abuelita. This episode was doing too much. It was dealing with Santana's sexuality, the class election, Beiste-Menkens-Sylvester love triangle, and the Quinn-Puck-Shelby dilemma. It's called "I Kissed a Girl" (title should have been different), but it needed to focus on Santana more than anything. I don't like what they did, and the writers need to make more episodes this season. I don't understand the writers' fascination with Finn. He's not a good character. He's the antagonist for the past two episodes, in my point of view. The episode should have focused on Santana and SANTANA ONLY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-31273253487413183362011-11-30T17:03:18.234-08:002011-11-30T17:03:18.234-08:00I wish I could say that I didn't agree with yo...I wish I could say that I didn't agree with you but everything you said was completely and utter 100% true. I've never been so disappointed with an episode in my life. it wasn't great. it really upset me and and I love Glee but last night's episode was complete and utter crap.Kanikah18https://www.blogger.com/profile/16016139879837889841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-85656102630030610022011-11-30T15:59:25.868-08:002011-11-30T15:59:25.868-08:00***NEWS FLASH***

Stop trying to relate what is going on in the show to your life; it isn't real. Watch something else if you are looking for reality and inspiration. Writers are going for ratings, that's all. For all of you saying you won't watch again, BS! You can't get enough of the mindless highschool drama the show feeds you.<br /><br />As far as the name of the episode goes, if you weren't busy foaming at the mouth for a lesbian make-out scene, you would have noticed there was a whole song about "I kissed a girl"! You seem to be capable of analyzing every little detail and extracting meaning out of it (whether the writers put it there or not) that I don't understand what the fuss is about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
