My love language is forcing you to watch a tv show and talking all the way through it

some people really need to understand that there’s a difference between saying ‘they’re a good character’ and ‘they’re a good person’

Me: This villain is a really good character!

Some fucker at tumbler dot com: Um you do realize they KILL people right? Or are you OKAY with that??? You’re cool with murder???? Wouldn’t mind if they killed your family!!!??? I’m calling the police

Ah yes, Glee, the only show to give us queer representation, queer coding, and queer bait

And Here's What You Missed... (Eps 1 & 2)

I'm going to try to recap listening to Kevin and Jenna's podcast. I figured it might be a nice way to kind of get these discussions out there - and for me to process my feelings. Honestly, I was initially worried that the entire podcast would be just slamming the entire show - but I can assure you, it's really not. Kevin and Jenna (along with Ryan Murphy in these episodes) are coming in with a lot of joy for the show. And while they'll be honest about their experiences, they're at a place in their lives where they can examine it freshly and openly.

And interestingly - one of the biggest takeaways I'm getting from this is that those long conversations I had with @snarkyhag on the TDB Podcast (and with fandom throughout the years) weren't wrong. I feel like Kevin and Jenna are layering on context to things that -- for those of us deep in fandom -- already knew or were aware of.

They're also pushing back against some of the hate that they continue to see about the show? While I stay out of those lanes, I'm sure they inevitably can't - so this is a way to address a lot of it. And (like I said when I first wrote about listening to the podcast) it reminds me a lot of Pod Meets World - where the cast of Boy Meets World discusses the show as adults - and addresses the highs and lows from making the show.

A few notes from episode one...

Younger queer people need to realize that the SOR being used against queer people simply for being queer isn’t some ancient history thing. It still impacts queer people today. And it can quite easily be used that way again.
