So W. F. Price of The Spearhead has made a momentous discovery: there is a television show called Glee. In a recent post, he shared some of his findings with the regular crowd:
I’ve only recently heard of the teen drama Glee, which is evidently a big hit with the teenybopper crowd. The other day, I came across it while flicking through channels and forced myself to watch some of the show.
Apparently, it is really, really gay.
First, I have to say that I now do believe the conservative Christians are correct in saying that the media is pushing a gay agenda. Of course, I don’t really care (one can always change the channel), but it was so blatant on Glee that I couldn’t help but laugh. The show revolved around a “glee club” (an insipid American high school institution for you Brits), cheerleaders, football players, gay football players, football players in drag, football players with cheerleaders, with gay cheerleaders, etc. There was even Broadway-style singing and dancing.
The horror!
Glee is about the gayest show I’ve ever seen on TV. Even the name is gay.
So, you’re saying it’s gay.
Still, Price did have one little complaint about the show:
The gay issue aside, there was one thing about the show that, although unsurprising, was still obnoxious: it features the same old negative stereotypes about normal males. The teen sluts (both gay and straight) are the heros, while the villains are generally straight or straight-acting males … .
It’s true. No one in American society is more oppressed than “normal” dudes. How dare Glee add to this bigotry!
Shockingly, it turns out that there aren’t any Glee fans amongst the Spearhead set – at least none willing to speak up.
In the comments, Meistergedanken explained that Glee was just a part – a loud, singing part — of a devious queer conspiracy:
It’s all part of the plan. Just like “Desperate Housewives”, “American Horror Story” or “Dawson’s Creek”, or any of those other shows created by the queers, straight couples – particularly married ones – are inevitably shown to be the most hypocrital, intolerant, ignorant, mentally unbalanced and emotionally dysfunctional characters. In this way normality is portrayed as a sorry sham. …
It’s so strange to see the progressives insist on marriage for gays, while at the same time showing married couples (and the husbands/fathers especially) as the worst people out there. They want to tear down marriage so they can scrounge the tattered remains for themselves, I guess.
Towgunner, for his part, delivered up a long, rambling manifesto of sorts on the subject of the gays. Some highlights:
Is it a tragedy that gay people suffer? I honestly used to think so, but I don’t really think they suffer all that much. They seem pretty happy at their parades. Matter of fact, I’d say that a balding women (regardless of her sexuality) or a poor black family or an orphan in Africa suffer thousands of times more than some sappy fruit.
In that light homosexuals have proven to be one of the most selfish groups in all of history, right up there with women – after all they want to be women anyway. …
Furthermore, it says something about our culture that gives only homosexuals and other sluts special treatment. … All this to facilitate a small group’s ego so they feel only slightly less guilty at themselves when they orgasm. That’s where your taxpayer money goes to…to make a pervert feel good about itself.
So, apparently, the government is giving out gay orgasm grants, or something?
Andybob, meanwhile, spoke up for the gays. Or, at least, the gays who hate Glee. And women.
The first time I saw “Glee” I wanted to punch my flatscreen through the wall. Here again, gay men/teens are being shown as shallow, trite, superficial, dismissable, malleable, silly, flippant cretins with nothing to offer the world except fashion advice and sloping shoulders for whiny bitches to cry on. …
Those of us [gay men] who live far from Hollywood and have no connection whatsoever to Broadway musicals are very likely to be very aware of issues confronting men. Some of us are even vocal MRA’s. … [We’re] not handicapped by the need for sex from women. We can recognise their manipulative BS from miles away. The female psyche laid bare is an ugly thing.
Gay men like men, identify with men, actually are men. We watch men we care about like our brothers (I have a straight twin brother), fathers, and mates get ground down by a system created and maintained by feminists and their pussy-begging lackeys – and yes, some poodle-carrying flamers along for the ride. Women are always shocked to learn that most gays side with men. That’s not what they see on the telly. …
The bitchy gays who discriminate against straight men … are the manginas of the gay world. …
Women don’t like gays and straights to collaborate because they don’t want us to compare notes. I have seen women try to shame my straight friends out of hanging out with me. They are threatened by our mutual support. Together, we are able to construct a composite picture of women that would peel paint for sheer gruesomeness.
Gay men and straight men – together, united in hatred of whiny bitches!
Viscaria: I thought I had turned the corner on this thread. I was having some really good conversation. But straight person asking questions just doesn’t seem well received here (especially by snowy, jumbo, ithiliana and rutee).
And this is a blog meant to mock MRA, not to be a safe haven for LGBT folks from well meaning cis hetero dudes like myself who supports equality for all people who also just came here to mock MRA who might not perfectly understand all the issues surrounding why saying certain things might not be received well.
I like the blog because I think David does a really good job of posting criticism of MRA folk and setting up good topics of discussion. But it is possible that the existing bad blood that exists between myself and several posters might make it impossible for me to get a friendly environment here.
jumbo: with all the other information we were debating in that thread, the “us queer” comment got lost in the shuffle.
But again, here is a case where others insist on debating the comment I made and when i answer them it is my fault.
@LJ: The Egress is that way!
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
Never darken our doors again!
Etc.
p.s. it’s not the asking questions, it’s the lecturing and the passive-aggressive faux-rhetorical questions that aren’t even framed well.
It’s not well meaning cis hetero folk we don’t like, dearie, it’s YOU.
You are NOT a group.
You do not get to represent your group.
You are just you, and many of us don’t like you.
It’s awful the way people treat you when you’re just concerned about them 🙁
Ami: jumbo said that straight cis ppl are the oppressor class. I was hoping that all people who are cis and hetero were not being called oppressors.
ljthesplainer – “And this is a blog meant to mock MRA…”
There you go, just leave all the rest aside. When you go from “mocking mra” to “I’M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS! JUST A GOOD STRAIGHT GUY ASKING SOME QUESTIONS,” on this blog, you don’t get to complain when it doesn’t go your way, now do you? You yourself said you know what the game is, so if you’re playing something else, don’t act like you’re in charge of the response. WHAT’S WITH THE NON-FRIENDLINESS!!
I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD DUDE!
I KNOW I KNOW, I’M SAYING THE ONLY THING YOU CAN EVER DO HERE IS MOCK MRA AND IF ANYBODY QUESTIONS ANYTHING, THEY SHOULD BE FED TO ARMADILLOS!
ithiliana, the bingo card I’m using already has about 14 squares taken.
In addition to my previous post (caught in the moderation filter), I’m going to cryptically leave the following comments:
It will all become clear as to what it means soon!
LJ if you made the same posts you do now except under a different name, do you believe you’ll get a different result? 😀
We can arrange something. I’m sure David would be amenable to you making a new name and being you all over again (you should probably wait some period of time before doing it) and see if you get the same results (i.e. it’s you and not other people who irrationally hate you) or you make the breakthroughs and get the acceptance you believe you so richly deserve 😀
ith: If David asks me to go, I will go as this is his blog. You misrepresented my words from post 1. So frankly, your criticisms ring hollow.
Ami: jumbo said that straight cis ppl are the oppressor class. I was hoping that all people who are cis and hetero were not being called oppressors.
But you responded to it, which means you had an assumption what he meant,
What was that?
lj – “Ami: jumbo said that straight cis ppl are the oppressor class. I was hoping that all people who are cis and hetero were not being called oppressors.”
-If you have no fucking idea how class theory works, maybe you could look it up before you start that? I don’t agree with all forms and variations of class theory, but I don’t whine to people who think x is an oppressor class when I may not that they’re CALLING ALL THOSE PEOPLE MEAAAANIES.
Also, take Ami’s Challenge.
I was hoping that all people who are cis and hetero were not being called oppressors.
But what do you mean by “oppressors”, you must have SOME idea if you have this hope xD You can’t suddenly claim you have no idea what Jumbo meant xD
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan, I notice you’ve ignored my comment. Does that mean you agree that you were misrepresenting me? For someone who seems so horrified at being misrepresented himself I’m surprised at you.
Ami, I never said I deserve anything. But no, I wouldnt create a second name with the hopes that people like ithiliana would misrepresent my arguments. I am sure they would be misrepresented regardless of my name
snowy: no, you were not being harassed. the claim that i was is absurd.
Oh, so you agree you were lying about the private messages?
*what I said in the private messages
I am sure they would be misrepresented regardless of my name
Then let’s find out! 😀
Otherwise, how can you be sure? o:
So what DO you deserve LJ? 😀
In fairness, the name is immaterial if it’s obvious who it is.
Ami: by oppression I assumed he was saying that there are many who are. cis and straight who seek to treat those that are not as second class citizens.
You act like you’re being unfairly treated, you CLAIM you want to learn and don’t want to be treated the way you do. I offer you an opportunity for that, you squirm away. xD It seems like learning and discussing really ISN’T that important to you xD
So I’ll ask you to lay it out plainly 😀
What DO you want?
You’re not the only straight cis dude on Manboobz. Many of them ask questions. Do you think you’re doing something different than those guys, or are we just picking on you because it’s hilarious ha ha ha.
snowy: nope. I will share them when i get to my computer.
