Re: I completely disagree

Well...okay then. I don't really understand why it is that you feel sorry for me. If you see it as romantic and you enjoyed the scene then that's awesome for you. If you like Finn and the Finchel relationship then, again, that's awesome for you. I'm glad your pairing is doing well on the show. I've just never liked Finn because he, to me, seems to be the opposite of what Glee's supposed to be about.

You asked why I hate Finn so much. The main reason is that Glee is marketed to the masses as a show about equality and diversity. While it's true that they include characters of various ethnicities, sexual orientations and the like, it rubs me the wrong way that the character in the most privileged group is often shown as being a leader of the group. It's like Glee is saying, "Oh yeah, we'll include everyone, but the straight, white, boy is going to be their leader. Don't want to upset social norms, after all." Again, if you like Finn and disagree, that's fine, but I don't like that Glee sells one thing and delivers another.

As for the last comment, romance is a subjective thing. What could be completely romantic to one person might not be for another. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. I didn't find Finn giving Rachel a star named after himself to be romantic, but if you did then that's fine as well.

I'm sorry if I offended you with this post, but I did warn for Finn hate so I guess if you really didn't want to read it you could've scrolled on by. Just saying.

Also, I'm curious as to how you found the post in the first place. I don't really participate in fandom more than posting to this journal (which I don't talk about with anyone but my irl friends) so I'm wondering what lead you here. Not meant to be rude, I'm just curious.

Sorry about the massive reply. :)
