I worked on his AHS season and can confirm he is nothing but pure goodness. A true angel who deserves better.
wheres the proof
@@evetucker2979 I’d like to know too. He’s known for being outrageously full of himself, it has nothing to do with his shitty Glee character.
@@mattymariah if it was because of him being an asshole the hate wouldn’t have come out of nowhere, and it wouldn’t have started as a meme/joke on TikTok.
There are plenty of celebrities that are known for being assholes that don’t get anywhere near this level of shit. Also, where’s the proof he’s known for being full of himself? Because no one he’s worked with has ever had a bad thing to say about him, and the Glee cast love him and are friends with him to this day. People come up with reasons to justify the harassment so they don’t look like bullies, but the fact it is, it’s almost entirely based on a fictional character he had no control over.
It’s very disturbing how cyber bullying has become “popular”
Like people hate his character but you shouldn’t bully the actor.
I know right, and then they're like "they're rich boohoo". Like?? Just because they're rich doesn't mean they don't have feelings. You can be the richest person in the world and still be affected by peoples words.
Also, I see this a lot on tiktok. You'll see someone post something that they probably think less than 200 people are gonna see, and then it blows up and all the comments are making fun of the person's looks. Honestly I think it's the part of gen z that is like 15 and below, they're the worst part of gen z.
yupp
@@jewelbass2914 i saw a video of a girl doing a trend for fun (she had like 10 followers), and it blew up and her comments were full of THOUSANDS of people tearing her to shreds for her appearance. even when she made a follow-up video in tears, people were STILL mocking and insulting her. it's genuinely horrifying
it’s just a troll idt they actually bully him lol
@@miraann3997 people send him hate and I've literally seen people say he should die all because they dislike his /character/
i agree we shouldn’t be harassing matthew morrison, but people need to stop defending mr shue because they’re trying to defend matthew morrison. mr shue was a horrible teacher and i will stand by that
I blame the shitty writers and Ryan Murphy not Mathew Morrison
I'm sorry what? 😳have we watched the same show? Like or is this one of those stupid unreal Mandela effect stuff because I remember Mr. shue as the best most supportive teacher on this fucking planet
@@ivenorea i think he genuinely cared about his students but he wasn’t a good teacher at all
@@ivenorea best way to explain is that mr schue was one of the best characters in season 1 due to the fact that the story focused on him a lot. He was a genuinely good supportive teacher, although he had his creepy moments he was good for the most part. After season 1 he barely did anything or really taught the students and just became a creep that was obsessed with Emma when she was taken.
@@Alex-se7sy that’s the best explanation of his character i have ever read lol it’s so true
His character Will is the problem. He has had such a great career, but most don’t want to do their research and just lump character and actor together.
Exactly!
That's exactly what I thought
I love your pfp pls
That isn't fair at all, so, yeah, agreed. Also, it's just unfair to basically anyone who tries to put themselves out there in that way. It's massively insensitive to do to somebody especially if that's what they want to do for a living. Hmm, nightmare job. I might be reconsidering my dream job. Sadness. It's too bad that people will do that; cancel culture is so toxic. It's why Madelaine Petsch started a RUclips channel.
I was so glad that Amber Riley spoke up when Naya was missing and told everyone to back off. Grief doesn't have to be public, and an audience isn't owed a public display of grief.
The Matthew Morrison trend reminds me a lot of the way Victoria Justice (calling her untalented, "I think we all sing" etc) and Raini Rodriguez(Making fun of her weight and singing as a meme) were treated.
Matthew Morrison gave up other opportunities to continue on Glee after Cory's passing so as much as I dislike Shue sending Matthew hate because of a FICTIONAL character he played is uncalled for
I didn’t know that!
Imagine how Matthew Morrison must feel reading and seeing this about him and his family... Yes, he is a public figure but there is a limit to how much any person should and can take. It's getting to the point that one could call it cyberbullying.
I think it’s past beginning to call it cyber bullying. It 100% is.
I thought we were generally past this type of bully culture. It's so sad that the internet is reverting back to such vile harassment just for clout.
it’s so embarrassing isn’t it
I feel like humanity is always on a pendulum where we swing back and forth between extremes constantly. It’s exhausting.
@@coryharbour57 A fact.
@@coryharbour57 we seem to NEVER learn.
It’s not a reversion. The internet is this cruel, and it’s only a matter of time before another celebrity/viral star is labeled a horrible person/racist/homophobe/transphobe/ableist/etc. even if it was otherwise clear that person was a good person from every other action they did and it is a character they played that sucked or said a joke that was even in line with today’s values but worded like a horrible person/etc.
There were probably more incidents of the internet choosing more to suddenly hate others for some reason, usually because of a character or a joke.
I felt this way about the “joke” that Millie Bobbie Brown was a homophobe. It just didn’t feel right to me that people were making jokes about a minor being a hateful bigot all for the sake of a meme.
yeah, I remember. It was fucked up.
Same!
Excellent comparison of him and Britney ✌🏻 Say it with me: “CELEBRITIES ARE PEOPLE!!”
honestly how can people still not see that??
NGL when I saw that THE Amy Lovatt liked/replied to my comment- it really became this ironic/iconic moment for me 😂 Cause the OG comment is talking about celebs being people too... and then I wigged out over Amy acknowledging my existence 😂🤣
Amy, if you’re seeing this reply, please know the following:
A: You’re amazing.
B: I respect your being a human, even though you’re also totally a celeb in my book! 😉
Some people really need to understand the difference between an actor and the character they portray! Matthew Morrison is a really talented actor who seems like a really nice guy, and he doesn't deserve all of the hate he gets. It really bugs me that people request trigger warnings for mentions of him, because I feel like it undermines the experiences of people who have PTSD from actually traumatic experiences.
exactly!!!
it annoys me so much that everyone is CONSTANTLY hating on him, like was it funny at first? maybe a little, but now it doesn't feel like a joke anymore and it's just annoying and beyond rude now.
Wow, it is so terrible that people are bullying him like that! Yes, Will Shuster is super cringey, but there are so many terrible characters out there, and they are often played by the nicest people. Tiktok-ers need to get a life.
I’m a Tik-Tokker, but I also acknowledge that I need to get a life lol 😂
@@aubreywhite8673 and I don't mean all tik-tockers! I should have said tiktok bullies!
I never watched Glee cause all these shows that try to be either updated show's like Greace, and use Broadway show music, I personally hate shows that try to do that unless its Smash where its about Broadway. I only liked the character of the cheer leader coach, the rest of the show was a complete mess, and the story lines were horrible, and very unrealistic for the Broadway world, Rachel would have been blacklisted for breaking her contract on Broadway to go back to school, and for thinking she had to chose beteween the two. either way it was not my kind of show. and the parts i did see i hated except miss lynch.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions No worries 😉 lol I know what you meant! I also totally agree- with both you and Amy. We need to be kind humans!! 💕
The way her hair and her overall straps match PERFECTLY?! Fashion icon!
omg stop, thank you 🥺☺️
@@AmyLovatt1 never. You deserve all the good things queen 👑
the internet is so brutal..
I really think the massive rise of stan culture has separated the line between what is and what isn't okay for who they feel are public figures/idols/characters. People feel a lot more entitled to publicly treat others more as objects than actual people. It makes it worse when people decide that the person you present on a screen is the person you are in real life, and if they, as a fan, head-canon something then it's true even if the celebrity they are a fan of tells them it's not.
yep you’re so right
People should understand that Matt Morrison is a different person than Mr. Shue, and doesn't deserve any of the hate he was given. Leave his wife and child alone. And as a person who has lot friends and classmates, we all grieve in our own way. What happened to Cory and Naya was horrible and he was trying to deal with it and honor them. And same with Mark. I'm not excusing what he did, but Matt should be able to honor him as a friend. Poor Matt.
I'm so glad somebody has addressed this. There's this weird attitude about things like this, like these jokes are above criticism and if you don't go along with it, you're a humourless wet blanket. But it's like...I'm not being a killjoy for pointing out that spamming a person's social media saying you wish they were dead is crossing the line a wee little bit, you know? God give the Glee cast strength, they've all gone through it.
exactly?! it’s so unfair and I really want people to stop before something bad happens
This is exactly how I feel with the whole Joshua Bassett and Sabrina Carpenter stuff. Bullying is bullying whether that person is famous or not. The jokes stop being funny when they are at the expense of another.
Unfortunately, just when it looked like Matthew Morrison was gonna restore his public image with his judging gig on the new So You Think You Can Dance, he gets himself fired for sending a 'flirty' Email to a female contestant!!😬
The contestant said it made her uncomfortable. The producers declared that it was inappropriate and against the rules to have contact with a contestant outside of the competition (it could lead to favoritism or harrassement)!🙄
And thus, the Matthew Morrison-SYTYCD comeback ends in disaster!😫
Nice job, Matty Fresh!!!😒 Can't blame this on Mr. Schue!!!😤
I just read about this. He (and his wife) said that his email wasn't flirty, but that it just read "Hey, it’s Matthew. If you don’t mind, would love to get your number and talk you through some things." and clarified that he supposedly contacted her because he was trying to get her a job as a choreographer on a different project he was working on. It's a he said/she said situation and though he obviously wasn't supposed to be contacting her outside of the show, there's no evidence that he was actually trying to flirt with her.
Tbh it seems like she may have misunderstood his intentions with the text and though contacting her was definitely unprofessional, this story doesn't prove that Matthew Morrison is a bad/creepy guy. He may just struggle with understanding social cues and boundaries (which honestly, would fit in with a lot of the"weird" stuff he's done).
I never watched glee, but when I first saw a tiktok about him I immediately went to google because from the way they were talking I thought he had assaulted someone or was exposed as a bigot or something. None of this has ever seemed warranted to me. There are people who genuinely deserve to be exposed and condemned. Why waste your energy on the old cringy actor?
Exactly, same here! I watched a video that ranked his "crimes" in a tier list because when I saw the title I was like "Oh no, not another problematic actor from Glee", but then all the "crimes" where either ones his characters committed (so, you know, things he had no say in, he was just handed a script) or very benign things like having a weird smile in an Instagram pic. I was relieved but also shocked that someone would make such a video with so little material.
As someone who hasn’t engaged with tiktok or kept up with social media, this was news to me. Don’t we have other IPs to make into a musicals. Mr schue is a bit uncomfortable to watch now but like yikes. (Also his dances are just tiktok dances without the swooshing camera or filters 🤷)
ok but that last point is so true😂😂😂
I just looked at his most recent post and it’s shocking, nearly every comment is about his wife looking like Naya. And the some of the others are too horrible to repeat.
honestly it’s crazy isn’t it! soooo inappropriate
@@AmyLovatt1 i don't know what these platforms allow bullying comments, but will kick you off for your political thoughts and feelings? Its crazy.
this hate trend has been going on for months now. they did the exact same with liam payne about a year ago, and are also doing the same with ed sheeran right now, bullying him over his music and even his looks (that's so fucked up). i feel like being against bullying "stopped being cool", so everyone is back to bullying is cool as a counter movement, and try to disguise it as a "joke". it's awful really.
Bullying was always cool. It’s just now cool to hate on people further away, as demonstrated by those trends.
People are not more accepting. People have just merely expanded their friend groups/cliques/communities, and called the expansion of their friends “being more accepting”. Furthermore, it is now popular to punch upwards so we bully celebrities in addition to people we know that are weak/shortsighted/have schizophrenia/etc.
I can remember at school back when everyone was first starting to create MSN and MySpace accounts my IT teacher telling the entire class very clearly that being behind a screen excuses nothing and that you should never say anything about anyone online that you wouldn't be 100% willing to say to their face if they were standing right in front of you - I admit I haven't always stuck to that rule but I've tried my hardest to follow it because honestly, it's a damn good rule to have. And if more people lived by it, the internet would genuinely be a much healthier landscape than it is now.
I also feel like a lot of this also has to do with the fact that people are seemingly incapable of realising that whatever they happen to post isn't posted in a complete vacuum. I've seen people try and justify sending death-threats and spamming hate with "well, I only left one comment, so it doesn't really matter...". No. You may personally have left one comment but what you've actually done is contribute one comment to a sea of hundreds and potentially thousands. And when all of these comments are essentially saying the same thing and amounting to "the world of all these thousands of people would be a better place if you didn't exist"? That's what paves the way for something genuinely awful to happen.
I mean as a teacher, I can write quite the long list of things Shue did that would have gotten him fired but Matthew Morrison isn't too blame for that. I mean I can do the same with Sue but people let that go and aren't harassing Jane Lynch.
I think he's a great musician and a solid performer in general. As far as the relationships with Lea Michele and Mark Sailling, that's his business.
I saw him at Disney in 2019 when he performed for the Christmas and Thanksgiving specials. My family and I got to be there for the taping of it. He was so kind and even talked to the audience! It was great also, his wife and kid were on the side watching him.
oh I’m so glad to hear this!!
I mean every carachter on Glee is terrible in their own way, they are a stereotype after all. Many of them was more of a bad person than a good person. But you don't really see people hating so much of the other carachters..
Well I do think Will was one of the worst because he was a figure of authority and the show actually portrayed him as a good teacher. Sure Sue was way worse as a teacher, but the show knew that and constantly stated it with other characters dialogues. Will won the Teacher of the Year award while presenting an insanely problematic behavior. None of that matters, though, because Will is a fictional character, while Matthew is an actual person that doesn't deserve any of this.
The worst thing the writers on Glee did was change the satirical nature present in the first 2 seasons to a sort of fake earnest, run of the mill teen drama. Will, as well as many of the characters, are not supposed to be “good people” or a “good” teacher. Like he blackmails Finn to be in the Glee club by planting drugs in his locker in the first few episodes. I hadn’t heard of this backlash(Glee has been on US Netflix for years) and this behavior is unacceptable and disgusting.
I disagree I think the only characters that were actually terrible and did bad things were Mr. Shue, Rachel, and Sue is debatable
I feel like the reason all the gleeks were hopping on to the hate train is because Glee is for outcasts and people who dont't fit in and everyone wanted to belong, and this was the way to do so.
this is such a good point!
I've noticed a lot these last 2 years that teenagers step way over the line and when called out go "it's a joke." Seen it in the Supernatural fandom a lot as well as fandoms/shipping in general. They don't know how to separate a character from the actor. Yes his Glee character was super cringe but I have yet to see evidence of the actor being anything remotely as problematic as his character. But what do I know... I'm just an elder millennial (xennial or whatever we are called these days) and have no patience for this nonsense.
You’re so right!
The same thing happened to Lins because of a picture. The joke was unfunny.
agreed - lin has become the new matty fresh. everywhere i go on twitter i see that picture of him biting his lip, and people have not only beaten the joke to death but also totally ruined his image and turned a lot of his fans away from his works, which is a shame.
Right- it completely spiralled and a cousin of his died and people were spamming the Twitter post with that photo- like wtf have some respect
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!
wait what? i’m not caught up, what’s going on
exactly this reminded me of that - it just felt that they just decided to make fun of/ bully LMM for fun and then just moved on to Morrison. 'm not a particular fan of either but its just so dumb
I feel people tend to forget that the actor and the character are two separate people. If you hate the character because they are problematic and come across as a terrible person, that's just the actor doing their job. They are performing based on what is needed for the character and what the director wants from them for the role. People have to remember that movies, tv shows, etc are not real and what characters do in onscreen, are not actions the actor would necessarily get themselves into in everyday life. It's just sad to see people tear someone apart when they didn't do anything to deserve it
Matthew Morrison is getting the Hathaway treatment. When it comes to public personalities or those with high-profile jobs, careers or positions (entertainment, politics, lifestyle, news or journalism, doesn’t seem to really matter), people love to hate on anyone who seems too earnest or too invested in their craft/field/milieu. Maybe it can come across as attention-seeking (the “teacher’s pet” syndrome), but I think it’s often just eagerness being confused with hungriness. People should be allowed to really like things, to pursue their careers, hobbies or interests without getting automatically being labeled a try-hard. I personally don’t think it’s generally fueled by jealousy or anything like that (probably more boredom or a superiority complex), but people sure do love to dunk on someone who’s already down. What a weird instinct.
That’s it, that’s my op-ed.
The whole Anne Hathaway thing is a spot on comparison, that was wild. Especially since they’ve both got that perceived overly earnest theater kid thing. It’s certainly interesting (awful) that the internet is more likely to collectively bully someone for being a “try hard” than for being a genuinely terrible person. The sad thing is the mass internet hatred of Anne Hathaway actually impacted her career for a while-no one wanted to cast her in anything til Christopher Nolan gave her another shot in Interstellar. I think she’s pretty well recovered from it now. I just hope the same doesn’t happen to Matt Morrison, and he can still get work; I hate the idea that a bunch of bored 14 year olds could troll a man out of a career because they think a character he played ten years ago is cringe.
I was already annoyed by all the hate for him and I didn't even know about half the things you mentioned.. that's just horrible.
* *starts a petition to release Matthew Morrison from Guantanamo* *
People have forgotten how to be kind. Ask yourself, has this person done anything to hurt you/others? If not, leave well enough alone!
Absolutely agree with all of this! And honestly, as problematic as Will’s character writing could be, no one attacks Jane Lynch for playing Sue who was a literal villain and said so many messed up things every single episode and often to the high schoolers (that I admittedly laughed at most of the time when it was airing). The thing about Glee is that it was FULL of flawed, selfish, and cruel characters who mostly grew up and became better people throughout the show and it’s ironic that people who hate on the show or specific characters for being problematic turn around and are cruel to the real humans just portraying a character.
People are more accepting that Sue is a villain because she was against the Glee Club (making her an antagonist) but that she did everything to undermine it, including illegal methods. It goes against the Glee Club trying to find itself in a world out to get them. In other words, her role is consonant with her villainy and the themes of the show.
However, the supposed good guy and leader of the Glee Club is therefore the good guy and therefore has to be morally upright. Furthermore, it is expected in a story of the acceptance of misfits that the leader has some morals and does not engage in the same behavior putting those people down. Once it was realized that Will Schuster engaged in hateful words, questionable behavior, and also casually mocked his students, then his role doesn’t fit how he is portrayed.
And since Glee is both beloved and based on stereotypes, once the internet figured out Will was a bad teacher because he was inconsonant with today’s values and did questionable stuff even in the era of Glee, all the love will turn to hate and then will be amplified because the Internet does not do anything by half-steps.
@@iantaakalla8180 I totally get that but it’s delusional of them. Lol People being harder on Will (and thus Matthew Morrison) than they are on Sue just because they hold him to a higher standard is wild when she was so much worse. A big flaw of Will’s is that he’s constantly stuck in the past and never really grew up, which is a common case for people who never leave their home town to experience a world outside of it. He decides to run glee club to relive his glory days. That’s why he’s doesn’t listen to them and makes them do songs his club did and he brings back April Rhodes, etc. He has just as much life to live and learn from as the students. He’s a bad teacher, absolutely, but not a bad person. Sue is a bad person even though they try to give you reasons to feel bad for her or like her here and there.
And to say the internet doesn’t do anything half-ass’d is an understatement in this situation. Lol It’s one thing to meme a character to death, it’s another to take it onto the real person. Will and Sue are characters, they’re not actually bullying anyone or making mistakes impacting real people. These people on the internet are real and hurting real people. No matter how poorly written Will is, there is no excuse for that and it’s beyond hypocritical considering these internet kids think they’re standing on a moral high ground and that’s why it’s okay for them to harass him.
Amy: "There is a line that is crossed. And that line is so far gone now, you can't even see it"
Joey: "The line is a dot to you!"
I just hate Mr. Schue. He was an awful person. An awful teacher
Matthew is a nice person. He is actually really nice
Most of the Glee characters took turns being awful so it sounds about right.
Matthew is a treasure. I was lucky enough to see him in Finding Neverland (absolutely agree, such an underrated play) and he is pure talent. I absolutely HATE when ppl lash out on actors because of unfortunate characters they played. These are PEOPLE. He is a human being, with a real life and real emotions. How can you forget about that?? Ugh
I fucking LOVE Matthew Morrison. Every time he’s in something, I get happy. I didn’t know this was happening, and it makes me sad. He wouldn’t have been my first casting choice for The Grinch, but I love him and Glee.
I agree!! He seems pretty awesome
Many people haven’t watched the glee cast vids when they all talk about how Matt is, he is a sweetheart, he is kind and good friend, he is talented and really nice so people have to stop hating Matt for a character, he is not responsable for what Ryan Murphy did to his character🙄🙄🙄
thank you SO MUCH for this video, I hate this trend and just feel... kind of helpless about it. like you know what's happening is wrong, but you don't have the means to really stop it. mental health is such a fragile thing especially with the times being what they are, so to think that he has to take all of this unwarranted hate and not to crumble is just awful. he is so talented, but I am really afraid this can affect his career. and people are going to say "glee ruined him", while it was actually them.
I totally agree!! It feels so wrong to sit by and watch him be torn apart because of a character he played on a tv show 10 years ago?!
also Finding Neverland is a masterpiece and Matthew's voice on the cast album is just amazing, I still have so many songs on my playlist ❤️
@@AmyLovatt1 it feels so good to hear and see you say it, because at some point I honestly believed that everyone thought all of this is okay. I'm not on tik tok, so wasn't in the loop for a long time. and then I saw the comments on his ig and it broke my heart. so THANK YOU again for bringing attention to the situation. ♥️
Curt Mega talked about this situation on TikTok back in December and so many of the comments are “there’s just something about him/something about his presence” “oh it’s just a joke, it’s funny”
There seems to be a lack of understanding of the real world impact of their actions, the line has well and truly been crossed, it’s not even a blip on the horizon at this point. At what point does it stop being a joke and become a smear campaign?
i think people sadly always made fun of him for will schuester, and the grinch performance just made it so much worse. its such a shame, hes so good but his characters are just .... questionable.
I've tried to talk to many people about this and everytime i say something people reply with "u should've done a tw i'm scarred now" or "it's just a joke bro" like no???? It's actually affecting me and making me hurt for him so imagine how he must feel! Can we all just be decent people for once???
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
People need to learn to separate the character from the person!! No one is DESTROYING Zac Efron or his career because he played Ted Bundy A WHOLE SERIAL KILLER because he isn't Bundy so WHY ON EARTH are we ATTACKING Matthew Morrison for Mr Schue???
It is one thing to comment on the nature of the character, that is a character who has been MADE for public view and discussion!! Matthew Morrison is a HUMAN BEING and deserves RESPECT!
I don't and will NEVER understand how it's ok. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE.
People are literally hating on him for portraying a character and receiving a paycheque for it, TEN YEARS AGO. Can people get a life and realize that the actor is not the character (most of the time) and also that this show was written ten years ago. By the way, actors don’t write tv shows,
Matthew is NOT Will Schuester. He is not the charachter he played on tv. He is such a talented man, he does not deserve to Get hate.
Finally! I will forever love Matthew Morrison because of Finding Neverland! He was so freakin' good in that! (Even though I met him first in Glee - which granted, yes his character did some questionable things - but he also did a few good things to be fair. As with most of the characters, I tend to fluctuate between hate and adoration depending on the season arc). In the end, however - people need to stop harassing him for being an actor. Ya know, the job in which he is paid to bring a written character to life - that, believe it or not - might not actually align to who he is as a person. It's a freakin' job people, come on. Fantastic video btw.
Matthew's best song on Glee is "One Less Bell To Answer / A House It's Not A Home"
Yes! It’s one of my favorite covers/mash ups from Glee. And definitely one of my favorite Mr. Schue songs. His duets with Kristin Chenowith were all really great.
My personal favourite is "Dream On" with Neil Patrick Harris. It just slaps!
@@bluepeppermint3790 That's Taste, actually...
1. Dream On
2. One Less Bell To Answer / ..Home
But I still not quite sure, cause I listen to "Dream On" because of Neil
Just an addition to this, this also applies to not just Matthew Morrison, but to everyone. Regardless of the person's status, sending hate to them directly (specifically death threats) is unacceptable.
Thank you so much for speaking up about this. I have been bullied and cyberbullied years ago and I can say for a fact that this situation will affect his life, himself and unfortunatly even the life of his family for a very long time (not only his carrer). Even if he is an adult and probably confident about himself, it's very difficult to look past all this hate. I can't believe so many people, especially young people, who are supposed to be the future, still think that hating on someone it's just joke
Run Joey Run was iconic.
true
Dude...the dancing was good imo! The matty fresh was just him performing. It’s like no one else has nothing to do other than bringing other people down.
First of all, your hair look really beautiful today!! I love it!!
Secondly, I haven't seen glee so I don't really get a lot of the Matthew Morrison hate ... I mainly know him from Light in the Piazza (I love that musical sooo much!!!) He is talented and hating him for something his character did or said is so dumb, like wft??
I LOVE Matthew Morrison!!! He is so talented!! Mr. Shue was cringe, but I loved his performances. When I watched it, I hadn’t heard of him, didn’t know he was on Broadway & I loved him even more after cause he’s so talented! LOVED him in The Grinch Musical live. He made a really awesome Grinch!
Your hair is really cute today!
aww thank you!
One day the stupid people that are hating on the actor are gonna realize THEY are cringe for getting into such mob mentality and not being able to separate a character from an actor.
Thank you Amy for making this video. Jokes like this have got completely out of hand the last few years. I have been SO confused by the Matthew Morrison hate the last few months. It breaks my heart to see so many people turn against someone for things they never actually did.
Great video again Amy!
I actually DONT have any problem with Matthew, but WILL SCHUESTER is a COMPLETELY differnt story. I just think that Sue was completely right when she said “you don’t have any adult friends, so you asked your student to be your best man”, they made the character high key creepy, but that doesn’t have anything to do with Mathew, he was just playing a role. And also, Mathew and most of the cast only have a 6-8 year gap between them, so it’s not THAT akward that he was friends with the glee students.
it really is a shame that a generation of people who pride themselves on being empathetic and considerate of other people's feelings have collectively decided to bully a man because they don't like the character he played on a tv show ten years ago...do better guys
the problem is people not being able to separate the art from the artist. while matthew morrison has played lots of different roles, he’s probably most known for will schuester. and yeah, will is a really problematic character, but seeing as he’s just a tv character, there’s nothing wrong with saying you don’t like that character or pointing out things that were wrong. in fact, i think it’s a good thing that we as a society can critique pop culture like that.
however, it becomes an issue when it’s turned into people making fun of matthew morrison and projecting his problematic character onto him. we as the general public know so little about him that it’s really not fair to legitimately bully him on the internet. yes, his character was a shitty person but that doesn’t mean we get to take out our hatred for will on matthew!!
amy, if you see this, i’d like to add that i think you summed it up beautifully. this was just my two cents. i love your content.
I was so worried this video would just be more senseless hating on Matt, really glad that's not the case!
People need to remember that just because someone's famous, it doesn't mean they're not also a person with feelings like any other....so why be so mean? It's just straight up bullying at this point.
nahhh I’m not for that. totally agree with you as well 🥰
Who's worse, a man who plays a character written for him that isn't popular, or people who bully and shame and insult others online (but it's ok "because he's a celebrity")?
Because not everyone can separate reality from fiction
I completely agree with you, Amy! The whole thing has never sat well with me. I totally understand disliking, or even hating, a character someone has played. That's something put out there for public consumption and people can go wild with their TikToks or whatever on it: that's fair game. But a human being? Who you've never met and don't know? It's not okay and celebrity or not that's cyber bullying. Make fun of Mr. Shue and Glee etc. but leave the person who did nothing more than his job out of it.
totally agree!
Yes I agree with everything, it comes to the point where people aren't able to separate the character from the actor. I think Matthew Morrison is incredibly talented and shouldn't deserve all this hate.
I love this. It feels like that sister you respect sitting you down and being like “this is not ok”
That’s bullying. What they’re doing to Matthew is bullying.
Love Finding Neverland! Fine to dislike a character he played but respect the real person. Hate when people hate on an actor because of a character they played 😒
Thank you so much for this video. I think the internet has gone a bit too far with their treatment of Matthew Morrison and I appreciate your dissection and analysis of this issue.
I was pointed at this video just today as I was blissfully unaware of this situation. I went to check his instagram and what I read there left me horrified. I completely agree with you. This man has done nothing wrong and what's being done to him is very unfair. It feels like those millennials don't realize there is an actual real person and can't detach the character from the actor. It's stupid and immature. And I wish there was a way to stop this harrassing but those people are so vicious and...they just have no filter. This is the dark side of the internet, one where you can harrass people from your house remaining invisible. It sucks.
I saw him on Finding Neverland and he was awesome in that Musical. I think he is a very talented Actor Singer and Dancer
I stumbled upon that side of TikTok and I was confused, while Mr Shuester is not the best character and did things that were really really wrong idk why some kids HATE Mathew Morrison, the tik toks read TW: Mathew Morrison.
I wasn't aware of this other than the opinions of the Grinch and how poorly the storylines in Glee have aged. I hope that he's able to block it out and that he continues to get work, he's a great actor.
He is so talented , it's sad that he gets this much hate.
Thank you so much for this video!
Like you said, I don't understand how people can be so concerned about celebrity treatment one second and then harassing Matthew Morrison another.
If you hate an actor because of a character they played, that just means they’re a really good ACTOR. I remember when Jack Gleason and Lena Headey from GoT got harassed in public because of stuff their characters did on screen. Like, that just means they did a good job lol
I couldn’t agree more Amy! I think as people who appreciate theatre, we are able to draw the line between the character and the actor portraying that character. Whereas when people are engrossed in television series and sitcoms, it’s more common for them to recognise the actor AS the character instead of recognising them FOR playing that character. I love Matthew Morrison. I’ve met him before at dance conventions in London, and he’s the sweetest. I completely agree with you and I think it’s so refreshing to see a video talking about the importance of how serious and how damaging this issue has become. Loving your content, it’s keeping me sane! Got yourself a new subscriber ❤️
THIS WAS SO INSIGHTFUL AND COMPLETELY TRUE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING IT INTO WORDS!!!!
glee just went on disney+ star so im rewatching it again! super problematic but the nostalgia i have for this show, i will always love it.
i gotta say though like its hard at times to try and not think about which actors are dead and who did what... 😬 but yea, people really gotta lay off matthew morrison
I feel really sorry for him :( He’s just an actor doing his job. I think that it’s awesome that he’s doing what he loves like dancing even though it’s “cringy”
What I don’t understand is that GLEE ran for so many seasons, how could the writers not seeing the problem and adjust Mr. Shue’s behavior
Thank you finally someone said something! Ive never understood people’s problem with Mathew Morrison, (some of the characters he’s played are problematic) but I think he is a genuinely talented man and I really hope all of this hate and harassment doesn’t further hinder his career
I hate cancel culture, oh my god I hate it so much!! I agree with you on everything you said... aargh why are we like this, why
Its like, he played mr schue (who was obviously awful) more than TEN years ago and he clearly didn't write the show so he wasn't responsible for how creepy some of his character's lines were, it's so messed up how he's getting tormented about a fictional character he played more than a decade ago
thanks for explaining the problem and spreding awarness, really apreciated from the fans
The Grinch (and a bit of the AHS character too) made people see the oversexualness of an adult around or connected to kids and teens as a typecast or his own take focused from his own personality rather than just a one off character. That's what most of the memes and issues people in my area had, before that they were ironic thirsting over him still.
AAAH EUGÈNE GETOFFME
-*amy 2021*
seriously though this is the perfect articulation of last years •situation•
i have to admit i never realised how bad it got... i’ve seen a few videos on tiktok but didn’t know how personal and aggressive it’s become. i hope u don’t mind but i’m gonna reply to peoples mean comments and videos with this video link, not because i want to be mean to them but because u genuinely have made me see this so differently and i think lots of people need that change in perspective to realise the harm in what they’re doing
People just like to find the next thing or person they can hate on or troll. The same people trolling Matthew Morrison are the same people who are try-hards for attention. People also feel like they can say things behind a computer or on their phone that they wouldn’t dare say to someone’s face. It’s cyber bullying & it’s not right. It’s really sad & pathetic.
You’re totally right tawny!
I'm so glad you posted this video. I did originally think the Matthew Morrison jokes were funny because he has had to do a lot of cringey stuff as an actor. But that's the whole point: he's an actor. He is following the script and the instructions of the director for these projects. I thought we were all laughing about the dumb things he's had to do and how those of us who watched Glee sort of thought everything Mr. Schue did was fine and cringing at both him and ourselves as we look back. It's gone so far beyond that now, and it really needs to stop.
I love your comments it's like hearing a friend talk (if any of mine knew these topics u.u)and yeah youre right It's stupid when people confuse a character with an actor. That just proves how good of an actor he is. AALSO i loved your cover of dead mom i will be seeing more covers!!!
Yeah I watched Glee for the first time last year during the first quarantine because I’d just finished CXG and I saw a thing that was like “if you like CXG you’ll probably like glee” and I knew Grant Gustin was in it. I know him from flash and after the flash musical ep, I just had to see him in Glee. Little did I know he wasn’t in it until season 3 but we move.
Watching glee in 2020 and viewing it as a gen Z member of society, I can confidently say that I fell in love with it. I love Glee and I owe it quite a lot tbh. It’s awakened my love for music and musical theatre.
But I can also recognize how problematic it is. I can still listen to the music and I still adore the cast because I can separate the art from the artist and I find the characters interesting because it’s just a bunch of kooky people who can sing and dance and it’s amazing
I’m so glad you discovered it last year and enjoyed it! I still have a lot of love for it as well and can separate the issues with it 🥰
I agree with that so much. I think when I first watched it, I was going through questioning my sexuality and glee gave me hope
@@AmyLovatt1 yeah! It’s funny actually. Despite being 20 years old the majority of the songs they covered, I first heard on Glee. Like before glee the only Pink song I knew was fun house. I’ve just always been more of a podcast person and really didn’t know a lot of the songs. I still only listen to the glee versions though 😅
@@lucydavies4136 I love that for you! I think I kept watching Glee till the end because it’s a time capsule. It was sort of ahead of its time but also offensive I guess but the talent and moments in it make it all worth while and it made me realize how much I love musicals. It’s great that it helped you with your sexuality and discovering yourself in that way 😊
@@clowinghours9604 thank you, I'm actually rewatching it atm and Ive noticed things I don't notice the first time round and it's so good
I agree with the majority saying Glee hasn't aged well however this is no excuse to send hate Matthew Morrison's way. He has done NOTHING to deserve this. People are so cruel and yet it seems to be the generation that is over sensitive and easily offended doing the online harassment. Pick a lane! Wishing the best for Matthew and hope this isn't the end of his career or worse. This news is truly heartbreaking. Thanks Amy for bringing attention to this issue.
Always loved Matthew Morrison - I was so confused when I saw how the internet decided to rip him to shreds, seemed like they all confused the problem that was Glee's Will Schuster (and other assorted characters he was asked to play) with the actor behind the characters. They're not one and the same, actors rarely get a say in anything their character says, does and becomes, not to mention, like you said, 2010 really was a different time we've come so far since.
Thank you for standing up for him. It breaks my heart to see a man's reputation, character and career get crushed like this simply because he's been cringe in the past. Lord knows I have been/am one big cringe fest, but it doesn't make me a bad person by any stretch of the imagination, and I would hate for this to happen to me, so seeing it happen to him kinda terrifies me.
Man is talented and seems like a good person underneath some of the garb he's been asked to do. Leave the poor man in peace, let him just bless us with his angelic voice and leave those bad times behind him.
So, yeah, thanks for this justice piece!
I agree with everything you said! Thank you for being such a positive light! It is so sad to see all of the terrible things sad about him. Thank you for spreading kindness
♥️
As an actor, he is SO NOT my cup of tea and i'm not a fan of his work, but for facksake i'm not gonna go harass the poor dude! He's done nothing to me! I just consume other media and move on! FACK!! (i'm way more offended by Lea Michelle and can't STAND her for actual reasons but even then i'm not gonna go harass her!) Also has anyone thought to ask HIM to weigh in on HIS experience in all this?
I’m exactly the same as you on this
