In which Rachelle and I give some thoughts on Raising Hope vs Glee
- Arqueete Queetely says:
- btw raising hope having that bully be transgendered i think was a perfect example of how raising hope can touch on sensitive things with respect [IMO, obviously I can't speak for how anyone else felt about the storyline, especially transgendered people] without making a big deal out of it or letting it bring the comedy to a halt. as opposed to glee who tries to be super progressive and bombard us with issues they're trying to support and manages to accidentally offend left and right.
- Rachelle says:
- omg ikr i was thinking abotu that
- how if it had been glee then as soon as she was [revealed as] transgendered then that would be the end of it
- but she was transgendered and she was still a person who could still beat people up and be a bully because she's just still a person
- Arqueete Queetely says:
- yes
- Rachelle says:
- and not [only] a transgendered person
- Arqueete Queetely says:
- it was hilarious but no part of why it was funny came from mocking her transgenderedness.
- Rachelle says:
- yes
- i was a little nervous when it started because gender issues have been bothering me lately
- but raising hope pulled through in the end i think
