Because he's human and considering the situation he was in, he snapped out of anger. It happens, but at least he instantly realized what he said and apologized for it immediately. I also find it hilarious how everyone's so up Finn's ass when he unintentionally uses the wrong words *in the heat of a moment* , but no one says shit when someone like Sue is *intentionally* using the wrong words (especially in this scene) and purposely trying to make other people's lives a living hell. Even Santana would agree with me, considering how she was so against Sue attending her wedding just based on that sole fact.

true but you dont call someones baby retarded

[@musiclover_kb4913]

I get that but at the same time, it was in the heat of the moment. Finn was angry and when you're in the heat of the moment, you're not thinking about the words coming out of your mouth. Also, why does everyone just gang up on Finn the one time he says something horrible to someone, but everyone laughs or something when ppl do that to him on a regular basis? Then they will use that one instance to say that Finn's a horrible person. That's exactly what happened with the whole "accidentally outing Santana" thing

[@katm5010]

I don't care if he's good or bad. What I care about is the use of the "R" word! My late brother had Downs Syndrome and we were so close people used to say we were like twins. I got in plenty of fights because of people saying that to him. He along with many other people with mental or physical disorders deal with hate all the time. If people don't want hate being spread about race, gender, or sexual orientation, then I think everyone deserves respect. I know my brother would agree.💜🌎🌐🚫👹

[@archangel6174]

Kat M I agree

[@lalalalisa41]

"If people don't want hate being spread about race, gender, or sexual orientation, then I think everyone deserves respect" I agree too, but Finn said this out of anger in the heat of the moment. You can't say the same for Sue in this case. If she didn't want Finn saying something hurtful like that *out of anger*, maybe she shouldn't push him like that. Lesson to be learned here, if you're going to dish something out, be prepared to have some thrown back at you whether it be intentional or not. That's just reality, sadly. We can be nice and accepting, but we are still people and as we all know, we can be pretty nasty when poked and pushed to our limits.

[@wishfulaudios2319]

Broadway Baby he was but he realised it was the wrong word to use/say almost immediately, his face dropped the second it came out of his mouth. Although I understand Sue’s anger she should know Finn isn’t like that

[@stargirl6024]

@@wishfulaudios2319 Sorry to Jump in the discussion here when I haven't been a part of it, but I wanted to say this- Even when you know somebody isn't like that, you have trouble letting it go. Normal Moms end lifelong friendships because a former friend said something hurtful about their child. The maternal instinct drives you to protect your child above all else. And this isn't just any normal mom, it's Sue. She can hold a grudge longer than anybody. And when somebody talks shit about her baby, who also has the same disability as her sister and Becky that she fiercely loves and protects, that is the ultimate reason to hold a grudge. Sue just listened to him use the same slur that she probably heard used toward Jean a million times before, and to see it used on her daughter so many years later would have been a hard blow. Because it would have proved to her that that particular cruelty is still not dead. Plus, in Theatricality when Finn used the word "Faggy" toward Kurt and Burt had used other examples of hurtful terms (that being one of them) He'd told Burt Hummel that he would never use that term in reference to Becky Jackson. The fact that he used it in reference to Sue was used not toward her child, but to hurt her, and she knew that. She didn't want her daughter to be used as a scapegoat, because no mother wants that. Sue can be a total piece of work sometimes, absolutely. But using a child to hurt a mother is crossing every line imaginable. There's no going back from that one. Not even for the nice guys like Finn.

[@LegendaryFoodItem]

It was a low blow for Finn to say that shit knowing how she has a strong history with DS in her family

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

Broadway Baby Okay but sue always makes fun of the students’ appearances and calls them names and smacks them with objects. I get Finn was way over the line but at least he apologized immediately after. Sue never apologized once

[@ellaronci2703]

Finns character arc was so incredible and complex, and Cory absolutely killed it in the acting department

[@AmericanIdolz2011]

What's really heavy about this scene is that this is one of the few times in the series where Sue was genuinely hurt. After Finn said that, she didn't storm out of the office and start throwing stuff (and students) around while "O Fortuna" played. She quietly walked out of the room, and, I suspect, went to her office and cried. Finn really hurt Sue here.

If everyone respected everyone in this world, then we wouldn't even be having all these dumb provlems between humans. Tbh. This is why I love Glee. It shows how disgusting the real world is now and how being different can lead you to being bullied to the point you break. Glee really was ahead of its time.

[@yara1896]

I struggle with my words. And I still manage not to say slurs. If you don't use a word you won't say it in everyday language.

[@flav2689]

Yes and no. To a certain extent that's true and easy to understand. We all make mistakes and it's fine since we're just humans - but there is a line there. I mean, calling names is always bad but some slurs are seriously vile - toxic and harmful, stigmatizing. For instance. A lamp being called "f*ggy" - ok, that's mean and nasty, but not venomous. But calling a disabled person or a person with special needs as a r*tarded? That's just horrible. Saying it means that the person actually thinks that way. That the other person is broken/a failure/f*cked up. THAT'S what this is about - this is the core of it all. We need to change this way of thinking in our society. Different people matter too - and we can succeed despite all. I myself have ADD and even though I'm doing just fine (beginning to work on my master thesis this autumn), I struggle with my self-esteem constantly because of the challenges it causes me. And dear lord, if someone would call me that slur... it would hurt like hell. I'm tough and been through a lot so I'd get over it with time but some of us are more on the edge. That kind of language can do a lot of damage. Todays society should know better.

[@kieranhair37]

@@flav2689 Except the idea that "retarded" means "fucked up" literally came from the people who decided to start taking offense on behalf of others. Retardation is simply delayed mental development. It's also a musical term. The fact that it isn't used anymore is irrelevant. The term "ADD" isn't used more either, and I doubt you just offended anyone. Also, while ADHD is a class of intellectual disability, I don't think it really fell under the umbrella of how mental retardation was defined in the DSM. So, you're just kind of taking someone else's problems and making them your own. Also, before "retardation," the acceptable legal terms for mentally disabled people were "idiot," "imbecile," and "moron." So, if you've ever used any of those words, you were using a slur. Enjoy that fun fact of the day.

Watching this scene I understand Finn's point of view. The R word is an outdated word that used to be used frequently for a description of someone with special needs.

The R word only used to be used as a medical term for people who were diagnosed with a special needs by Doctors its Medical Language that is only not offensive when it is used to diagnose people.

As much as I try to feel sorry for Finn, he keeps saying the wrong words and keeps messing up.

[@aubrey9573]

What Finn said was wrong but the fact that sue wasn’t held accountable for calling unique a gender confused boy isn’t right either.

[@tommyg8994]

i love how they try to make finn this huge ally when he literally just called kurt the f slur and publically outed santana.. i fight so hard to like this show

[@Showman_87]

What made me laugh is in the next episode Finn apologizes for the word he used and Sue said he has hate in his heart...Have you met yourself Sue? Even with Finn's mistakes he still had more love in his heart than she did. God rest his soul.

[@kieranhair37]

@@Idkwhattonamethis08 I remember reading a study once that people who form parasocial relationships with fictional TV characters actually experience a lot of the same sociological effects as someone who has friends in real life. So when people defend Finn, they think they're defending their actual dead friend.

[@albertesolveigbkgaardmorte9356]

Finn was having really good opinions here, but then the writers had to fuck it up...

[@newxromantic]

Finn was a horrible person. He called Kurt 'faggy,' he would laugh whenever Santana insulted Rachel, he cheated on Quinn, he outed Santana, he stole Quinn from Sam, he called Sue's baby 'retarded,', he didn't call Rachel for months and expected her to go back to her after she had moved on, he was creepy as hell to Rachel at the wedding, he beat up Brody (which was none of his business) he hardly spoke to Rachel afterwards and didn't even go see her in New York after he beat Brody and he kissed his best friend's fiancee. Finn was a dick

[@ruthnorton4756]

I think Sue was trying to help Unique she didn't want people bullying her about it but the way she said it made Finn feel like she was just being mean

[@lizaharris5930]

she did say, how to put this nicely, incorrect words to explain why he would get bullied. but yeah I agree. I keep watching it and I think the knew the reality is even if it has always been a thing in theater, it doesn't mean people wouldn't be nasty about it even though there is nothing to be upset about.

I obviously hate that Finn used that word. But sues second word in her lines was idiot. idiots just as bad as what finn said in terms of insults against disabled people. also she called a trans girl a shemale. so she should practice what she's preaching before playing victim the one time someone insults her instead of insulting them.

Tiara De Silva You don't call a baby with Down syndrome "retarded"

[@DandyBoBandy]

She didnt deserve that not because of her sister and with becky. Sue can be an incredible jerk most times yes but Finn needed to think before just angrily saying something completely disrespectful. Sues not innocent either I'm not saying that, she was being a little mean but they were both in the wrong.

[@amythomasson4054]

He didn’t insult Sue, he insulted her baby. I have a baby girl with Down Syndrome and I would eviscerate anyone who mocks her. Actually, as my baby is beloved by everyone she meets, there would be a line of people ready to do damage to anyone who would mock my sweet girl. Sue was out of line, but she didn’t want Unique to be bullied.

[@zoestyles5139]

Amy Thomasson i was about to like ur comment but i completely disagree with the end. sue was being completely transphobic with the purposeful misgendering. and so what if she just ”didn’t want unique to get bullied”? unique can make her own decisions. should we limit the visibility and rights for oppressed groups, incl. disabled folks, with the justification that we’re just looking out for them?? for example, should we not let people of color go outside in a white area because there’s a chance they’ll be targets of racism?? i don’t think that’s my right to forbid them from going out.

[@hannahwilliams5681]

Finn always had a bad case of foot in mouth

[@gemasuara1731]

I personally think that Sue is trying to protect Unique. Since she stated that they lived in Lima with some close-minded people and still being old-fashion. Ok maybe Lima is accepting gay people, but trans? Or cross gendered musical? Maybe not since Sue stated that. What Sue is trying to say that if Unique play Rizzo it will bring more harm to Unique herself, she/he will be booed and more bullied. Sue is protecting her.

[@yourmomisgay1325]

Sue spent that entire time misgendering and saying transphobic things about unique, in no way was she trying to protect her.

[@xc4093]

Yes, Sue has been through some shit but at the end of the day I don't understand why people like her. In majority of the show, she is absolutely horrible to almost all of the characters. I know it's a comedy, but in scenes like this you can't deny that she's being pretty much transphobic. It's funny how she tears everyone down yet the second somebody says something about it she immediately plays the victim card. I know that what Finn said was wrong but at least he immediately knew that it was wrong and tried to apologize for it. That doesn't excuse his actions but they're both still in the wrong.

[@alyssa7081]

at least he has the decency to apologize. he fucks up sm

[@elviramontanna7449]

People don't understand that sue knows how to treat outcasts. She didn't want that unique gets hurt by other Student

[@yourmomisgay1325]

People don't seem to understand that calling somebody transphobic slurs and staying transphobic things, isn't protecting a student from being hurt.

[@insadmnia]

To everyone saying that Sue was worst in this because she was being transphobic, I hope y’all understand that both people can be in the wrong. The only reason I see Finn being considered ‘worst’ (which in this case, there isn’t a more bad person. Both Sue and Finn are being bad people. Stop comparing slurs, all of them are bad-) because this isn’t the first time he’s fucked up by using derogatory terms. I’m glad he’s grown out of his homophobia shit but he still is using derogatory terms. And yes obviously Sue is a horrible person but I haven’t really seen her use slurs except for this scene. Maybe I’m biased because I don’t really like Finn but idk, it just seems like he still hasn’t learned that being uncomfortable or upset isn’t an excuse for saying these terms. Yeah he apologized immediately (unlike the time he described Kurts decorating as ‘faggy’ (I’m gay, please don’t @ me for typing it-) or when he outed Santana in the middle of a busy school hallway) but at this point I don’t think that’s enough anymore. He’s done this one too many times, ya know? Idk if Sue ever apologizes for calling Unique a ‘Shemale’ and all the other transphobic things. If she didn’t, shame on her and the writers. The point is both people are being shitty and I just wanna watch them sing instead of being offensive, alright?? Edit: also I realize that the moment with Santana I mentioned is the same situation. Santana and Finn were both in the wrong. But as an overweight lesbian, I feel that being outed in a homophobic area like their school and town would be worst. But that’s just my opinion, and doesn’t even relate to this video aksjskaks

[@bryonmurphy7049]

seeing will refer to unique as a man and just claim that having her play rizzo as “cross-gendered casting” is infuriating, i’m glad finn spoke up about her identifying as a woman.

[@haventimoney8726]

While it was rude sue brought up a good point they live in Ohio and unique would've been mercilessly bullied if they went on stage. Also the character hasn't confirmed which gender they are at this point, will even says that it's fine for males to dress in drag for performance so is unique Trans or just fluid with clothes, it wasnt clear at this point.

[@Itisybitsyteacup]

Finn has said ever slur in the book, but you guys forgive him because he’s tall lmao

[@xiomara.mon7711]

No it’s cuz he genuinely apologizes unlike literally most of the other people who’ve done the same thing like Sue. Or when he outed Santana, Santana did the same thing to Kurt “as a joke” but that’s when people REALLY dismiss it.

[@calebwilson.27]

I can’t believe he said that after Burt talked with him about saying fag in season 1 (also hello I’m gay and I don’t think it’s offensive unless you’re using it in a hateful way like Finn was)
