I feel disgusted. The fourth reply in the link is particularly sad, as I also know Glee fans similar to Anna's friend. Though I've never seen an episode of Glee, so many people watch the show and now I feel like the show has personally attacked me. It attacked several people... but personally me, it seems. This is why:
When I was in high school, I was kicked out of glee club because I sang ahead and behind of the beats in songs. As an adult, I am rarely ever cast in musicals. When I am cast, I play villains or people who otherwise are not supposed to sing well or people who just do not sing. For goodness' sake, one of the many reasons Sour Grapes is dear to me is because the first version sang loudly and off-key.
People know I was kicked out of glee club. I tell them, if we are discussing music groups and such. I tell them if they watch Glee, and our own high school experiences come into the conversation. People also know I am autistic. I have a pink shirt that says so, which I wear with pride. I am devoted to my own, and known in a number of localities.
Now people are going to associate me with a nasty episode of Glee and a character who should not have been written. Stay away from anything resembling my life experiences, characters I can't like, especially when so many people watch you! I can't help but feel so personally attacked by this slander.
