I totally agree on one count only -- the situation with Blaine, and the way he basically ditched her when he found a new, gay friend he could relate to on a different level (and whose bones he wants to jump :P lol). I felt like the way the writers tried to turn that around to make it *Mercedes* who had the issue was really messed up, though I attribute that more to poor writing than anything else.

The episode that dealt with her weight? I found a little more excusable. It was about issues with body image *in general*, and Kurt obviously was having some issues with *his own* body (thanks to Sue's insulting comments toward *both* of them). It came across as harsh, but he wasn't saying "*you* need to change" he was saying "we *both* need to change" basically, so like... I didn't see it as intentionally hurtful... and then in the end he came around and gave her a real, genuine apology -- which I think is more realistic than having them both be perfect, flawless friends at all times.
