this can't be explained by 'satire'

Yes, I tweeted this but I do not even care.

Add massive transphobia to the list of explicit Glee fuckups. (They've probably been anti-trans before, but I don't have the spoons to go dig it up.)

NO WORDS, other than WHY THE FUCK BOTHER DOING IT. Except to be offensive.

h/t to feverbeats for the info. Please do not come in here and try to explain the logic to me (I'm in the telly industry and well aware of showrunning/censors/viewing public), I just don't give a fuck.

I had to stop watching Glee awhile back because it enraged me so much, and from what I've been reading since then, I honestly cannot fathom how people tolerate it. It seems like it just keeps getting more and more careless and insulting. It's like the Privilege Parade.

Quite. I mean, there's enjoying sometimes problematic things (most of the things I like are borked in some way), but this is just so over the top ridiculous.

Angry bear expresses my rage for me right now.

somehow pushed myself through it to tell people what was going on -- and I rather enjoyed some versions of the music. but I stopped at the sandwich!Jesus episode. Apparently my twig finally snaps at a mockery of R.E.M.

alas no harshing of squee from me anymore. I pity folks who have to watch it to critique all the crap.

I was lukewarm on this, at best -- I watched pretty much all of S1 and felt equal parts rage/meh with the occasional OOH!

After reading that blog post, all I've got is: If John Stamos had played Frank? I WOULD WATCH THAT A MILLION TIMES. As it is, no thank you.
