Kurt is TALLER THAN BLAINE. Blaine is SHORTER. Just because Kurt is the way he is doesn't mean he's shorter, or frailer, or weaker or whatever offensive stereotype that manages to be both homophobic and sexist at the same time. Bleh >:(
I get really frustrated with that subset of fandom that always wants to exaggerate the smallness of one character and turn him into a tiny, weepy, frail almost-child (and usually exaggerate the largeness of the other guy in the pairing, turning him from an ordinary tall and muscular guy into a giant hulk with minimal verbal and emotional abilities)--and this is even worse, actually reversing the size difference. So wrong!
