I am so annoyed at people who think Glee is problematic. Like there were some trash people on the cast of the show, but a lot of people seem to be missing the fact that the show is satire and is intentionally offensive. It is made to offend pearlclutchers who can't stand sex scenes in movies or gay people kissing or swearing in music.

So if you're offended by this show then congrats, you're a pearlclutcher.

Like everyone who loves this show -- we ALL know that it's weird for a grown man to spend all his free time with a bunch of teenagers. We ALL know that Will Shuester is NOT a well-adjusted adult because well-adjusted adults don't try to live vicariously through the high school glee club. We know that.

That's the entire point of the fucking show. That's the joke which is made repeatedly throughout the series. Like Sue Sylvester points it out repeatedly and can Sue be a monster at times? Yes, she can because she is a right-winger who abhorred the arts because she is a deeply fucked up person who is incapable of communicating her feelings in a healthy manner. At least the beginning of the series.

Sue Sylvester is toxic masculinity wrapped up in a woman's body.

And what a lot of people don't get is how HUGE of a deal it was for Glee to have made at all because it celebrates queer people, and it was on mainstream, primetime television.

Like you didn't need fucking HBO to watch Glee. It wasn't considered adult entertainment and it wasn't R-rated. Because that's how it used to fucking be. Go watch any queer movie from the 1990s -- it'll be R-rated even if there aren't sex scenes. The L Word was only aired on HBO which was known for it's edgy content. The one award-winning queer movie from that era was a cautionary tale that erased the existence of transgender men -- 1997's Boys Don't Cry.

Do you get now why it was such a big fucking deal to have shows and movies like Glee or I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry or Degrassi that were marketed as family entertainment?

Queer people weren't taboo. We weren't sex symbols that existed solely to be objectified. We were just normal people asking for acceptance -- and it wasn't fucking torture porn because it was talking about issues that we queer people deal with every fucking day. Cause I hate to tell you this, but a lot of queer people have tragic lives.

I came out to my family as bisexual when I was sixteen. My mom cried and my brother who I haven't spoken to in four years threatened to stab me. When me and my ex-husband broke up in 2015, I stayed with my mom for two months. Then she threw me out because she said she didn't want me turning my little sister queer and she disapproved of me being a Pagan. I alternated between couch surfing and homeless shelters for a year. Then I ended up in the group home.

That's real fucking life.

We don't all have a fucking support system or families that love us or even found families.

And it's uncomfortable and hard to deal with.

That's why it pisses me off so much when I see posts about people saying queer people deserve media that depicts happy queer people instead of tragedy. Because they do deserve happy media, but it's not real. It's not fucking real and it erases the stories of so many fucking people all because it makes YOU unfuckingcomfortable. And it sends kids out into the world naive and unprepared.

It asks queer people to silence themselves because their reality makes you sad.

But you don't care. All you care about is being offended by a satirical dramedy that you have completely misinterpreted.

been reading a lot of yandere stuff and it feels like the targets of the yanderes' love are not allowed to feel anything besides fear or all-purpose kindness (or arousal in the dubcon/noncon works). ex: they can't feel frustrated enough at their situation to vent (without the yandere/world deciding to "punish" them violently for it). its pretty frustrating... yeah twisted love is cool, but why does it seem like a lot of yandere works lack the romance and are just rape/torture porn fantasies?

And I OOP.... You just spilled all the tea on this message box anon. 

Anyways, Kai here to answer to the call of rants! Cause this pathetic sack of flesh (That’s me, Kai!) just loves to bitch and moan about yandere stories :) So let’s ponder why this is the case...

All the blame falls onto the author. I mean, they’re the only person who’s writing these stories after all. It’s not like these characters are real, ya know? But why is it that authors just like to copy one another? Well, I have a bunch of theories but none of them particularly nice. But they’re the hard truths.

1. Authors who write yandere stories are simply unimaginative and they just copy their predecessors.

While writing is a passion, I know there’s a grind in wanting views and increasing in popularity. I can’t tell you the type of schemes Julie and I came up with to make this blog more popular on tumblr since the demographics here seem to want the yandere aesthetics or the dramatics. Sometimes, authors just like to chase those clicks and views. So the appeal to the majority and what is a safe to write is normally the go to. Since they see that other people who write ‘X’ about yanderes get to cum money, they don’t really have the incentive to think outside the box or explore an avenue they were interested in because other people might not want to explore that avenue with them.

Or they aren’t schemers (like Julie and I lol) and are simply that unimaginative. They see something they’re predecessors wrote and go, “I like that” then just copy it thinking they’re doing something original simply because they’re the one writing it now. Let me say this now before anyone mistaken me: there’s nothing wrong in writing an overdone trope or following a path of your favorite author/story. Tropes are fun and if you like a certain thing, that’s cool. There’s a reason why the liberal arts study previous works compared to, say... the sciences. You wouldn’t study a medieval medicine practice since it’s outdated. But you would study the Scarlet Letter to widen your horizon and develop your craft. And that’s the important key: “wide your horizon and develop your craft”. The problem with most writers is that they see a book and consider it the word of god. It is terrifying when I hear people say something like “I’m trying to copy Stephan King’s writing style”. Fucking yikes my dude! Besides the fact that Stephan King is generally a bad writer, you shouldn’t mimic a teacher but become your own person. Take a technique or two you like and blend it to your style. Don’t become a chameleon (unless you are going to parody/satire said author). If you’re going to do a trope, I say consider two things: 1) Are you planning to do anything with the trope? Are you going to push it forward or explore a facet that you don’t think others explored? and 2) If you don’t plan to push it forward and just do a gratuities writing of the trope, are you willing to accept that fact? Are you going to accept it and not cover your ass when someone comes around to point out  that it’s a copycat of another story (Ex. The Hunger Games Series and the Divergent Series)? Are you willing to stand up and say “Fuck yeah I was inspired by them and made my own version because I love the trope.” If you’re will to answer these two points confidently, then go for it. Cause the worst thing you can do with a trope is A) Not do anything with it and B) Lie to yourself that you’re doing something new.

This suddenly reminded me when I saw one of these writing blogs complaining about getting copy and paste writing requests. They were complaining about wanting to be original and not wanting to be a commodity. Well... first of all, if they don’t want to be a commodity then stop writing people’s requests, the fuck lol. Next it’s laughable that they think their original. Let’s ignore the fact of the complete irony that they think they’re writing something original when what they’re writing is a plot given to them by a stranger and also that they’re a fandom writer (oops, spilled the tea again). There’s really nothing “original” anymore since we can point out a specific trope and trace it back to an ancient text that done the exact same thing. What is “original” is the blending of tropes, the reactions of tropes, and the element that authors put in their writing to give it life. Cause at the end of the day, if you entertained an audience, then you won.   

2. Authors who write yandere stories secretly hate yanderes.

Okay, so this is a theory that Julie came up with and I probably won’t have a lot to write on it compared to the first point. Anyways, the theory is that some of these authors who write yandere stories just hate yanderes. I mean, look at half the shit that are yandere stories. Straight up torture, clickbait yanderes, and scumbags. This is what people imagined a yandere would be. You can at least tell the difference between someone who liked yanderes or hate them. For example, when yandere’s has a “gentle moment”. If it’s genuinely sweet and soft, then that person probably likes yanderes. If not, then that person probably doesn’t and can’t get their head out of “I hate yanderes” mode. We can also look to the first point about scheming and getting them views for tossing in a yandere. Just like the otome game community, even if the product is shit, we’ll still eat it up because it’s a product for a community that doesn’t get a lot of products of their bias. 

3. Authors who write yandere stories are simply bad at writing romance.

Again, probably not a lot to write on this point since I spent it all on the first point. Anyways, as this point state, sometimes authors are simply bad at writing romance or not interested in romance. It just happens, you know? An author will bite off more than they can chew and end up making a mediocre story. And that, combined with point one and maybe point two, then of course no one can make an actually good yandere romance story since they can’t get out of their head of “Romancing a scumbag”. Also, sometimes people read a story thinking it’s a romance story when really, it isn’t. It happens and we can’t fault the author too much since they either need more practice or it’s our fault for assuming it’s a romance to begin with. Also, can I complain about all these people who tag some stories as a romance when it’s clearly not? Now they’re the real villains here. 

4. Specific authors who write yandere stories have a fetish for rape/torture porn.

Okay okay. I get it, some people got their fetishes and coping mechanisms. Put down your pitch forks. What I’m annoyed about are people who don’t acknowledge their fetish or at least state it at the beginning of their stories. Come on, don’t be those tagging jackasses who incorrectly tag their shit. Not everyone likes your fetish. You stay in your clearly defined lane and I stay in my clearly defined lane. Cool? Cool. Well, on this website. People are pretty good at their tagging and warnings. The problem are the jackasses outside of this hell site. If tumblr is hell, the rest of the internet is the void.

Well, tbh, this point isn’t too bad. People do what people do and I can’t complain too much. And hey! I would rather read these rape/torture porn stories versus the copy cat stories. At least we get porn and the possible reward of being able to jack off to it. It’s just that nine times out of ten, the “yandere” isn’t a yandere. What a surprise. 

Anyways, I hope writing this post help vent out your frustrations anon. 

Julie: Just edited Kai’s rant here. She’s really spilling all the tea 🍵.
