Via Kynn: Glee wins GLAAD award when it fails epically with its transmisogyny. And the comments at ONTD feminism brings the derailment to the house.

I'm in a Reborn's mood thanks to the latest chapter (I'm easy, okay) and was about to make icons of these. But then I liked them too much in this size I guess.

So have some Suzuki Adelheid's coloring, soon to be icons maybe:

Ahahahaha, yeah, I don't watch it but there is not a day someone isn't offended by something there. Seriously, the show is just good for white cis able-bodied people. Again.

GRACIAS NINA!!! <33333333333 YO TAMBIÉN TE EXTRAÑO! <33

I mostly watch it for the music and because I have the hots for one character, but it seriously, SERIOUSLY amazes me that it wins awards for anything when the show is still SO VERY, VERY ROUGH ALL THE TIME.

And it's not even good for them. I know many people on my FList get as headdesky as I do with Glee.

Besides, for all the diversity? The main focus on the show REMAINS on the white cast like woah. I just... seriously? More awards? Seriously?

Yeah, I mean, damn, I even saw Sociological IMages post on that on how all the characters featured in cover magazines and stuff are always the white able-bodied ones. When it is supposed to be "SO DIVERSE!!!" (dude, there is a reason I hate that word, diverse = white able cis straight people, and something else.)

Considering how the only PoC person who has frequent lines in Glee and some sort of character development is the Sassy Black Woman, who is also de best friend to the Token Gay Male. Other than her? The Asian girl Tina has barely gotten a few lines and nothing about her personal history, latino Santana is the Promiscuous Bitchy 'Bisexual', and the other two characters, Mike Chang and Matt SOMETHING have gotten about MAYBE four lines BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

Glee is so, SO far on the list of shows I'd use to point towards a 'well done show' that I seriously question myself why I keep watching it.

(Answer: the music. And that one male I'm attracted to. And the fact that they haven't managed to ruin Santana/Brittany)
