** I don't think Kurt being a trans guy would be UnfortunateImplications - you hardly ever see gay or feminine trans guys (unless you're using "trans guy" to mean MtF, which is improper).

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation

Not a [[TheTrickster trickster]], just one of TheFairFolk. [[IconicOutfit Crazy hair]], [[Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt thinks the hairstyle is everything]], [[MeaningfulName is named Puck]], [[LikesOlderWomen prefers slightly older]] [[MayflyDecemberRomance mayflies]], [[WMG/{{Glee}} has]] [[MagicMusic some kind of sexy singing mind-control power]], and [[WMG/{{Glee}} may be]] AnythingThatMoves. While he isn't much less empathetic or lesson-learning than the average teen soap character, it's at least not a point against being of the Fair Folk.\\

*** First point: Okay, [[SincerityMode I'm wrong about that one.]] I thought I saw that in the original post, but on closer inspection, I see that I was mistaken. Second point: But that's just my point, it ''wouldn't'' necessarily mean more screentime for him. He didn't get any storylines in season 1 because at the start he was never meant to be anything but a good dancer that brought up the club's numbers, but he's evolved, along with Santana and Brittany (Matt, not so much from what I hear) to become someone the fanbase wants to know more about. He's ''getting'' storylines this year, he's involved in a Tina/Artie love triangle, and once that inevitably resolves to Artie and Tina getting back together they're not just going to shove him into the background again, but making him Kurt's boyfriend doesn't do anything to help his character. I actually think it would be a detriment to it. That sounds homophobic on its own, but I'm trying not to be. Hear me out: Glee has sometimes been accused of having very stereotypical characters (mainly Kurt and Mercedes). It would hurt the show to continue this stereotyping (which is the main issue that many people who have problems with the show cite) by taking the best male dancer in the group, who we only know a little about, and making him gay. It would be much more effective in breaking stereotypes for the best dancer to be ''straight.'' Finn is not a very good dancer, and Puck is too much of a HandsomeLech to be the aversion (and a lot of people think (or hope) that he's [[AnythingThatMoves bi]], anyway). Having a character who is metrosexual and not a cartoon * coughJessecough* would actually add an interesting new dynamic to the show. If it turns out that he ''is'' gay, then ''c'est la vie'', I'll trust that the writers know what they're doing. But I really hope that if he is it isn't just to add more drama.

** I and my friends gave each and every outfit a nickname, that might, or might not help this theory: Tina is [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Bubbles]], Rachel is Miss {{Muppet}}, Quinn is Franchise/{{Kirby}}, Santana is [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Kodachi]], Brittany is [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Mrs. Crabs]], Kurt is [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington Lady Washington]] and Mercedes is...

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


I could see Max getting to sing in the series at some point, but I think the character just got [[AscendedFridgeHorror too dark]] to be able to fit in with [[TrueCompanions New Directions]]. Especially with the [[YouAreWhatYouHate bullying of Kurt]] and that being too reflective of [[RippedFromTheHeadlines the epidemic of gay teen suicides around the country]] happening when the writers started writing season 2. Karofsky transferring to Carmel and joining Vocal Adrenaline also makes sense since the majority of Karofsky's behavior, [[spoiler:despite the apology in "Prom Queen"]], is predominantly in BigBad or BigBadWannabe territory. He can also still be seen as an EvilCounterpart or Foil to both Finn and Kurt, respectively. Vocal Adrenaline is pretty much the EvilCounterpart or Foil of New Directions. Karofsky bullies because he's [[FreudianExcuse terrified that people will discover his secret]] and the last thing we see him do in season 2 is [[spoiler: run away from coming out]]? He's shown way more negative or [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] traits than he has good and he's still obviously scared. He could too easily [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope relapse]], [[AesopAmnesia forget]] [[UngratefulBastard the kindness shown him]] and [[RedemptionRejection turn away from atoning]] because [[BeingGoodSucks staying good is too scary or hard for him]]. Also StatusQuoIsGod. Karofsky could get carted off to Carmel as a [[CowerPower pre-emptive maneuver]], increasingly afraid his BigSecret getting revealed in [[CrapsackWorld McKinley]]. Even if he were out in [[TheEmpire Carmel]], being part of [[VillainWithGoodPublicity the respected]] and TheDreaded [[ArmiesAreEvil Vocal Adrenaline]] would probably protect him. This also [[PutOnABus Puts Him On A Bus]] to make way for the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters new stories and characters and bring the focus back to the regulars]].

usage in descriptions is fine; my mistake


The group's chair committee was aruing toward (supposedly, and comparatively) slightly stuffy, old-fashioned songs. When the group stood against their decision to just put Blaine up front without trials, they may also have used the increased input they gained to request a newer-styled, hotter song. As it was, the song just ended up looking unfortunately risque and undiginfied (especially compared to their uniforms), the same problem had by the the inner-city team with the yellow dresses and panty shots.

Foe Yay has been cut


** Not the original poster but during the episode it would have been hot FoeYay sex. I can picture them having sex and Will still asks straight after if Bryan's changed his mind about Glee Club, Bryan says no so Will would get frustrated and storm out. After Will watches Bryan's debut performance it would have been celebration sex though.
