glee

I thinkthis is my only glee post, but I could be wrong. I ave watched like 2 ep, one at someone elses house who loves it, once on my computer, and whatever. The premise made me think DEGRASSI WITH MUSICAL NUMBERS. but no.

but i found out today, that even given that there are occasionally deaf characters, they run it without captioning. attantion wise,I have a really hard time without captioning, and I am just fucking outraged that a 'disability inclusive' show doesn't fucking caption.

I may have came in at the wrong time, but given the episode I saw, calling it "disability inclusive" is probably not accurate considering how the deaf students were treated in one episode. Unless that was something tongue-and-cheek and meta. I really don't know.

hence the snark quotes. but indeed, they do include pwd, in a fashion.

I've seen exactly one and a half episodes of Glee: "Wheels," which I barely made it through (disability-stereotypical is more like it, rather than disability inclusive), and some other one that I turned off because I was both bored and pissed off.

It could be an interesting show if it wasn't so premised on making "liberal" folks feel good about themselves while also reinforcing various stereotypes about its "diverse" cast. Diversity means nothing if you're just reinforcing the same ol' shit.

It's captioned where I am. Bitching at the show about this may be bitching at the wrong entity. Then again, I've seen a lot of bitching about Glee that had less basis in reality and more basis in I NEED ME SOME OUTRAGE.

Oh, Glee has layers, issues and more issues.

whoops, meant that to be "layers and layers of issues" with links.
