Glee
I have honestly never watched the show Glee before but I feel the article that was written about it was taken too far. From the brief showing we saw in class I saw nothing wrong with the episode. The use of crip drag is not uncommon. Dustin Hoffman played Rain Main which he played a man with disabilities. Just because the epidode is about disability, it doesn't mean that Artie has to be constantly showed. It seems to me that the author thinks that if there is an episode on disabilty then the person playing that role has to have that disability. I feel that is wrong. In my opinion if I was handicapped and was bound to a wheel chair, I would not want to play a role that emphasized my disability. Also the author gets out of hand where they discuss the stunt doubles to do the scene at the end. The other says that it was not acknowledged and that it is an actual competetive sport. If someone had said that it was not a competetive sport then they would have an argument. I think that Glee is just a show that just adds certain things to spice it up. I do not think that its going for a shocker each week. I feel that the author of this article had nothing else to do. They honestly picked out things that they could twist to their advantage. If you do not like the show then do not watch it. It is as simple as that.
