Over the last two years, the fandom has become divided and so dependent upon preferito ships and characters that there's no fun anymore. That's the problem when te have a phenomenal mostra whose quality starts to downfall. In Season 2, the writers started to depend più heavily on relationship-powered storylines rather than group plot-powered ones. They presented your pairs to root for: Finchel, Klaine, Brittana; of course the fandom fell in Amore with these pairings. They started to differentiate between 'endgame' relationships and temporary ones (ie. your Fuinn o Luck o Emma/Carl). The writers found something to keep the viewers interested: their ships and characters. The problem is that they have played around with them so much in portrayal, and consequently plot, that it's become a battle for attention.

da portrayal, I mean issues such as differences in screentime and double standards. Everyone wants to see their character on screen, not necessarily all the time, but for a fair amount. Glee was very promising in Season 2 when they found a way to run Klaine, Brittana, and Finchel/(Quinn's) storylines pretty equally. As Season 3 occurred, the weight shifted towards Finchel so much that Klaine and Brittana became neglected. Before, I mentioned that the mostra built your couples and characters to root for. Well when te mostra only one of them then the fan of the others will predictably get upset. The couples' screentime is dependent on several double standards, some because of controversy, and some only because of writers. Yes, there are the groups that get angry and complain any time Glee shows homosexual affection, but it begs the question, are the writers too afraid to include such couples, o do they just not like them? The answer is unclear but either way, the result has become relationships that have developed unusually and extremely slowly in comparison to the other ones on the show. As it turned out, Klaine and Brittana were only shown as an actual relationship in 'special' episodes. Brittana had to wait a full three years for an on-screen kiss. Brittany is bi- this and bi-that, but she's never just "bisexual" because bisexaulity is portrayed as a taboo concept even in a mostra like Glee. Klaine became più like 'Blaine and his boyfriend.' Blaine was, as Kurt said, the 'alpha gay,' and all the spotlight went to him once he walked in. Not only are there portrayal problems with the same-sex relationships, but the decision of how to portray Finchel in the latter half of Season 3 has been a large issue. The writers have basically fed a fuoco with più fire. Their main couple was two high school teenagers making rash life decisions out of fear and uncertainty. They are constantly bickering and making up in a vicious cycle, and the characters they used as plot devices to dissuade their ideas were seen as wrong and only wanting to ruin their plans. The sheer level of PDA was vastly greater than the combination of the other relationships.

Additionally, there are the other double standards are of race, appearance, and gender, which are più inexcusable as they are not nearly as controversial. Ethnic characters are often seen for just their appearance and origins. Yes, Tina and Mike are Asian, but do we always have to think of them as 'the Asians' all the time? Appearance means that hot people get the attention, which plays into the ethnicity standards. te have Santana, who is actually ethnic, skyrocketing to the front of the pack the moment Glee realized she could sing. Naya is very attractive, no question, and she also has acceptably mid-tone skin. te can say that this o that actor/character is so beautiful inside and still beautiful outside, but it doesn't matter. It's a fundamental rule of media that an attractive appearance will get te further than an attractive personality. (Luckily the majority of the characters do have those personalities.) Falling under the same problem is the idea that if te are overweight o bulky, te must be obsessed with food. Mercedes had a whole food-related plotline, and characters such as Lauren, Beiste, and Mrs/Ms. Rose are often associated with food. Gender is an issue with most of the main characters. Sometimes the writers have no idea how to write for Rachel and she ends up learning the same lesson week after week, and forgetting it the successivo giorno (ex. her self-centeredness and fame mindset). In het relationships, the girls are often dependent on guys in order to feel secure in their lives (ex. Rachel, Quinn/Joe, Wemma). te also have the difference between a gay and a lesbian. Just look at the coming out storylines for Santana versus Kurt (to the school, season 2) o Dave. The latter two were wonderfully handled with the right amount of drama and finesse. Santana was accidently(?) outed in the middle of a crowded hallway. The same boy made it his mission to basically blackmail her into forgiving him via the Lady Musica Week. But there was no Brittany, even though this was happening to her too; we barely saw them together in that episode. And apparently Santana was a coward, and just because the Glee club knew about her relationship with Brittany, she should not care if the rest of the world finds out. Now compare Brittany and Puck before graduation. Puck risks graduating and all the boys flock to attempt to teach and help him. Brittany was failing and nobody even cared. It was più of a joke and in fact, we didn't even find out she wasn't graduating until the near end, when she mentioned it like she was talking about the weather.

These battles with double standards have evidenced a careless group of showrunners with a fandom full of hate. Now we're in Season 4 and in my opinion, the writers are genuinely trying to make things better. The Scrivere is still problematic, but so far they're making an effort to represent everyone equally. But over the last few years, people have become so used to having to fight for their characters that they are still doing it, arguing and begging for storylines o screentime. Ryan Murphy is not dumb; he knows how to manipulate certain portions of the fandom and does just that. Like announcing that there was a lot of Klaine, Brittana, and Finchel in an airing episode when it turned out that Kurt, Santana, and Rachel weren't even there, which was flat-out lying to get people to tune in. o promising spoilers and being a troll when they're completely wrong- it's pretty terrible if a group of fan in Brazil is più trustworthy for spoilers than the showrunners themselves. These kinds of attitudes do absolutely nothing for the show, and the carelessness is apparent in the quality and is the reason so many people have dato up.

In conclusion, yes the fan can be awful, but the only reason that this is what we've come to is the mostra itself. If te look at other fandoms, people can like different things, no big deal, and they don't mind seeing other people get representation. The showrunners are cooperative, patient, and kind to fans, even though they probably receive hate about their decisions. They know how to write for everyone and yes, there are probably double standards they somewhat adhere to, but they don't make it so apparent da building a contrast between the different people.
