Fandom: Glee (and a touch of Supernatural)

Except for some of the songs (and I do mean only some of them), I'm straining to find anything likeable about this show. The ableism is really, really bad (from grabbing the wheelchair to not including the wheelchair in the dances in any real way to all the ableist language). None of the characters of color, especially the girls, get much time at all. Just about everyone is an asshole. Evil cheerleaders.
I know people love this show. They love it. I'm trying to find the good stuff, I am, but the stuff that angers me overshadows everything else, I guess.
And Mercedes. Oh, Mercedes.
Oh, OF COURSE the FAT BLACK WOMAN is the one who talks about SETTLING and TAKING WHAT SHE CAN GET when it comes to guys. OF FUCKING COURSE.
And of course she's the one who breaks his windshield because her anger is destructive. (Though nice strength on that throw.)
And of course she's the one who's fully dressed. AT A CAR WASH. Because fat people can't show skin.
(And I didn't think cheerleading skirts were great for getting wet, but whatever.)
I love her voice SO SO much though. SO MUCH.
I find the Acafellows' performances boring, but that I understand at least. I'm not a fan of the boyband craze. Even as a kid, when everyone loved NKOTB, I hated them.
Okay, the scene where Kurt comes out to Mercedes had its awesome moments.
I finally figured out a way to finish watching the last season of Supernatural, which was to multitask like crazy during the Castiel scenes. I want to get to this season. Maybe my anger at season three has finally faded enough to enjoy it again. (That's really a huge part of why I don't like season four, I think, because season three made me so mad with the misogyny and the racism. Plus I find Castiel boring. So maybe I can get to season five. Maybe.)
I'm going to figure out dinner now, though I've moved on to "Preggers".
Oh, wait, one more thing.
FUCK OFF, RACHEL. Why can't Tina have a solo? FUCK RIGHT THE HELL OFF!
ETA: No, wait, I'm back.
WHERE THE FUCK DOES RACHEL GET OFF?
She's not the best, first. Second, it isn't Rachel and her back-up singers, it's a group of singers who all have to be strong. I'm sorry your pretty white girl feelings have been hurt, but she continually gets pissed at other people for not giving everything to Glee, and yet she can leave just like that and it's supposed to be okay?
I've never liked her, but I'm pretty sure I flat out hate her right now.
So why is it always the women of color who are expected to take one for this team?
ETA: Finally, something I actually really loved.
Kurt coming out to his dad and his dad saying that he loved him was really super sweet. (I could have done without him assuming Kurt was gay because he wanted sensible heels for his birthday.)
That part? That part I liked.
Of course, then it ends with Rachel being an asshole, as usual. God.
