As far as being an actor on a TV show, it’s flattering that fans are so connected and invested emotionally in these characters that they reach out and express themselves and their opinions. You can’t ask for anything better, you’d rather have that than people who don’t really care at all. As far as what they say, it is sad and tragic that people out there don’t think that Karofsky can change. And there are those really awful Tweets or messages where they really want Karofksy to kill himself or harm himself just so Kurt and Blaine can be together. It’s really sad, and it imitates life, where people are rooting for someone to harm themselves to protect their own beliefs. The question we should ask ourselves is why do we let it get to that point — in the show you see there are Facebook comments where after people find out Karofsky survived they tell him to try again. That mirrors real life. I feel like there’s such a fear in our society to let people truly be who they are, that we’d rather hold people down and live in some kind of a safe status quo because there’s just this fear that if we’re all ourselves we’d be these wild rabid animals. If you look at it, the people who really express themselves are the Einstein’s, the Alexander Graham Bell’s and the Picasso’s. There’s such potential in this world if we just did what we believed in. If we collectively stand up for one another and have discussions, we can save some lives and change people’s ways of thinking.
