| The Pink Posse May Not Have Been as Pointless as I First Thought |
[Apr. 9th, 2009|10:41 pm] |
The first time I saw the Pink Posse arc, I was horrified. I couldn’t believe the best they could do with the repercussions of the bashing was having Justin run around in pink laughing about pantsing some straight guys. I thought Justin’s trauma was being trivialized, and I hated it. Later, with some distance, I learned to appreciate parts of it specifically how obviously and opening Brian loved Justin throughout the whole arc. Brian also looks exceptionally good during these episodes. But Justin’s journey still baffled and frustrated me because I couldn’t understand it.
But as I was rewatching the scene where Justin tells Cody about Chris Hobbs, something clicked. While there are still things I take issue with, I think I finally understand just what Justin’s journey was. I call it “Don’t Fuck With Me or why Justin joined the Pink Posse and why he walked away.” Feel free to tell me how incredibly off base I am, but comments telling me I’m brilliant are equally appreciated.
