couch biest wanted to kill herself and shu tried to fix it by making her an online dating profile because that's what you do when your emotionally unstable friend is that depressed
and there was a "school shooting" involving becky. she brought a gun to school and it went off when she was scared talking to sue (who took the blame for her) which is the worst thing ever because mentally disabled people are never allowed to do bad things because that's ableist
...Okay, those are both offensive for other reasons. Mainly because you shouldn't do them unless you're going to fucking do them right, and the school shooting is way too soon after all the recent ones. That's fucking disgusting of the writers.
i haven't watched in ages but I'm cracking up because it sounds like it is still beautifully unaware that it is actually about shu being a horrific failure of a human being
because that's what you do when your emotionally unstable friend is that depressed
See, that part? I don't mind. Because it's the kind of stupid shit poeple pull in RL. I don't deny Glee has many problems, but some of the stuff people complain about (when it comes to characters being dumb or some kind of -ism) are how people really act. It's this kind of thing that makes me think they don't leave the basement.
i think that what most people take issue with isn't that the characters are acting like asshats, but that their asshattery isn't treated as such. it's treated as ~real, genuine expressions of kindness and friendship or whatever instead.
maybe sometimes, but I have seen people get upset at things the show (and many others) bluntly portray as not smart/negative/etc. Because...idk negative things should never be said and dealt with?
(I have also seen them do dumb shit and never acknowledge it is dumb, so it does go both ways)

i'm not trying to whiteknight the writers or anything but they don't have the most say over the plot
