Bad representation is better than no representation, and how the characters are treated in the text matters almost as much as their characterization.

[(Anonymous)]

SA! Which is not to say the show isn't godawful. It's just that it's one of the few shows out there that goes out of it's way to do so much for the LGBT community, and even if they keep effing it up it still matters to a lot of people. Plus they're pretty.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it? Or is it just bad in different ways?

[sarillia]

I'm always having this argument with myself. I can never decide if I agree with you or not.

[inkdust]

I think it's a case of sometimes.

[ketita]

Yeah, same. Though depending on the characterization, sometimes I really would prefer if they just stayed away... because I've seen stuff that is actually damaging, you know?

[insanenoodlyguy]

Depends on just how bad the representation is. I think Glee has reached "that bad" a few times at least though.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to disagree I'd rather have people not have any idea about me and have to inform them myself, rather than people making false and offensive assumptions about me.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. I think it's far more dangerous and aggravating for people to represent me badly and create/encourage hurtful, untruthful stereotypes, ideas, etc. than for them to be ignorant and I get to tell them the truth straight away. It's much harder to change people's minds when they've been exposed repeatedly to the harmful/incorrect images and ideas than if they have no experience whatsoever.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, thank you.

[darkmanifest]

To a certain extent, I agree. Almost every path to improvement requires some fuckups in the effort; something has to pave the way. But sometimes there comes a point where instead of surpassing the fuckup as the experiment it is, the industry decides to imitate the fuckup in perpetuity. And that's when a little invisibility starts looking pretty sweet.
