Re: Will Schuester being sexually-creepy, it reminded me of this tumblr:

Considering the fact that the show had polygamist couples when the mainstream LDS church has not been polygamist for well over a century, I can understand the criticism on those grounds, because even though, if you watch the show, they make it clear the Henricksons are not mainstream LDS (as there are multiple subplots about the social and political costs of polygamy for the Henricksons in dealing with mainstream LDS members, such as Barb being disowned by her family or Bill feeling the need to hide it during his political campaign) the way it was viewed by a lot of people who didn’t watch the show and only heard about it through the larger media didn’t help with that misconception, especially coupled with the high-profile raids on actual FLDS compounds.

Other than that, though, you are right. I just feel like most of the Mormon criticism of the show has been on the “it makes us look like polygamists” grounds and, to a degree, I get that.

I just compensated by imagining that Liv was really a lesbian and just hadn’t realized it yet. Made my life better…

But I feel like people who get nostalgic for the ’60s from watching Mad Men are missing the point of the show. It spares no punches in making it clear to viewers how much it sucked to be anything other than a straight, white (but not Jewish) man at that time.

Also, I don’t know if people who get “nostalgic” for the ’60s are necessarily terrible, especially if they are people who were not actually alive during the ’60s and think it was a better time for women and non-whites (I don’t think anyone thinks the ’60s was good for gays) than it actually was. Case in point: me, age 14. I got better, because I’m a history buff. But it’s easy if you’re not exactly well-versed in history to fall for the painting of that era as a time that was full of nothing but hippies and everyone loved Democrats and liberal, social-justice values.

Unless you watch Mad Men.

I’ve never understood why people find Taylor Swift attractive, either. Clearly “rodent” is not my type.

I know he’s not fictional, but he is a man, and he is on tv: Ricky Gervais. Anything he’s in or doing irritates me, probably because he’s a privileged, insufferable douchecanoe.

Thank you for publicly mentioning the misogynistic shittyness of Two And A Half Douchbags

and for recognising that Mohinder was annoying (I think he just got really boring)

AND for posting a picture- any picture will do- that involves Mischa Barton. RAWR
