Entertainment consultant admits Glee sparked the woke movement within the US
The Post Millennial ^ | January 4, 2022 | Hannah Nightingale

"With wokeness and cancel culture becoming a common occurrence in the United States, and across the globe, one entertainment consultant is claiming that Glee sparked the movement, and gave said movement the terminology it frequently uses nowadays.

Tumblr user twelveclara posted about the phenomenon on the blogging website in September of 2017, writing the following post:

"[The Glee fandom is] not history, its blood. i still see it all over this website. the vague posts. the deactivated urls. where do u think the word problematic became popular. where do u think the representational anger started. glee was the hungry gaping void that consumed us all. it said watch us and find yourself. there is someone for everyone. santana is a lesbian and kurt is gay and brittany is bisexual and quinn, god knows what quinn is, she's straight but we have her say things like 'you were singing to finn and only finn, right?' and artie is disabled. mercedes is black and our outlet for body positivity. we are all oppressed by something and we are different and we are outcasts and we are you."

Erin claims that the term"problematic" was coined by Glee fans, or the Glee fandom as its referred to on Tumblr. She also claims that representational anger, most likely a precursor to common language used by social justice groups today, formed within the fandom. ..."

Luckily the only ‘Glee’ I’ve ever seen are the clips on the TV in that one episode of ‘The Office’ where Erin and Gabe (dating at the time) throw a watch party.

PC was introduced on NPR’s Morning Edition in 1989. It has produced stifling censorship and stupidity ever since. Glee was typical stupid crap. But nothing approaches the gay leftfest called “Six Feet Under” around 2003.

I fell in love with the show when I watched the Pilot. Yes, it’s a very woke series but the talent was great with fabulous songs and choreography. As one who worked in casting for years, the ensemble was top notch. I’m a definite Gleek, through and through.

Still awaiting the public hangings for what they did to “The Rocky Horror. Picture Show.”

What did they do to it? Who did what to it?

And “Geeks and Freaks” turned lots of future nerds into gays or gay allies.

It legitimized the trans movement. S**t served with ice cream is palatable to many.

Rocky Horror was always an outsider thing. When a crappy corporate show embraced it, it killed a little of it. It was probably made worse that it was FOX.

“As one who worked in casting for years ...”

I occasionally think about how people in the business look at a finished product.

I’ve never been involved in the production of entertainment but as I watch a show I take note of things like the camera work, lighting, costumes, script, and so forth. I can dislike the final result but admire individual aspects of it.

I’m becoming sick and tired of all the special effects if I can tell that’s what they are.

And this is why women should not be in leadership positions. Homosexual propaganda, sold through emotionalism and song, ran through the country because women fell for it.

There is a really good video that used to be on Youtube but has since been censored... probably because it was too compelling.

It was created by a guy calling himself "Black Pigeon Speaks" and the title of the video was "How women destroy civilizations."

I cannot do it justice describing it, but I think it can be found on Rumble or Bit Chute or some such. If you get a chance to look at it, I think you might be impressed with the information it conveys.

You too Doodle.

Funny; the Merriam-Webster Dictionary's "learn more about" function claims that the "first known use of problematic was in 1609."
