So tired of Kurt "sitting on his moment" all the time. Where's that dumpster? Why the hell isn't the director stomping on him every time he does that crap so the show will keep moving instead of letting the show "die" each time he milks his "so, so important, all about me" moment every 13 seconds. Bleahhhh. It's been allowed to get ridiculous. He wasn't doing that so much back when he briefly joined the football team and did his single ladies routine. His acting seemed more focused (on acting rather than himself) then and didn't detract from the show. I am so sick of all the ECU's of his gushing baby face."
What exactly is he "milking", other than the fact that he'd like to be able to walk down the hallway without being slammed into lockers multiple times a day???
Honestly, I just don't get why everyone acts like Kurt is just a whiner who doesn't have any legitimate reason to be at the end of his rope. He HAS put up with the ridiculous harassment he gets- probably for most if not all of his school life. And yes, now it's starting to get to him- as it probably would PLENTY of people in his position.
Not to say that he hasn't been quite on edge and pushing people away lately- he has. But I can't for the life of me understand why people seem to think it's HIS fault that he can't just tolerate being constantly shoved into things and harassed.
I do think there are little comments here or there that the writers could stand to lay off on a bit, for the sake of not making it seem like he IS trying to milk it (for example he really doesn't need to mention being the only out gay kid anymore- we get it. SHOWING the isolation is more effective than having him always saying it in the same way). But that's just the occasional line too many of the same thing. Doesn't negate the fact that he actually
is treated horribly at McKinley, and it's not his responsibility to just stand there and take it. That's what he did for presumably years and years, and now it's time for a change. That's not him being all "woe is me"- it's the reality of the situation.
Now if, say, this became a discussion in the glee club and the others talked about the ways in which they're harassed (particularly Artie and Rachel since they're the other ones who've gotten it really bad), and Kurt tried to pass it off like their suffering doesn't matter while his does, THEN I'd be annoyed. But we've never been given any indication that he wouldn't acknowledge he's not the only one who gets bullied. The others just never bring it up, and Kurt's really the only one for which the bullying has actually gotten worse over time and not better.
I'm not trying to put Kurt on a pedestal here- he's certainly had an attitude lately and mostly I'm just REALLY ready him to be happy again haha- but I just don't get where this whole "omg all he does is whine" attitude is coming from. "Whining" implies that there's not true, legitimate reasons why a person would be upset/having a hard time. And in Kurt's case, there absolutely are. Just because he's the one who it's getting to the most doesn't mean that's his fault.
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
