Just as a general curiosity, what are y'all's opinions on how Karofsky feels about Kurt? Do you think he's in love with Kurt in some weird fashion? Is it just that Kurt is the physical manifestation of what he hates about himself?

Me, I think I'm of the second mind. I don't think Karofsky is necessarily "in love" with Kurt. Yes, the kiss happened. But I do think that maybe it just stemmed from a situation where he just had all these feelings and didn't know what to do with them so they all got unleashed on Kurt. If that makes sense.

So, what so you all?

BTW - I'm pretty much spoiler free for tomorrow's episode. So, if you know specifics of what happens that has bearing on this, please do not say. Thanks!

I have actually thought about this too much, *ducks*. I think Karofsky is physically attracted to Kurt, and hates both himself and Kurt because of it, but has decided to 'blame' Kurt. Honestly, I subscribe to this because Karofsky's bullying became more focused on Kurt and more intense right about the time Kurt sprouted up a few inches and visibly matured on the show -- Kurt hit a growth spurt mid-to-late-season-1 (see the Madonna ep), and suddenly wasn't so baby-faced and Karofsky noticed (see 'Theatricality'), and hates that he noticed, because he doesn't like his own reaction to it.

I do NOT think Karofsky is in love with him, though; I think there's a difference between pure physical attraction and 'having feelings' in an emotional sense, and Karofsky is pretty screwed up emotionally, so any 'feelings' he has about Kurt are twisted and warped into blaming Kurt for any attraction he's experiencing. Essentially, he's decided it's Kurt's fault for being gay and not hiding it, and if he just torments Kurt enough, maybe he'll stop being attracted to him. Plus you add in all the stuff about Karofsky potentially envying Kurt's freedom and the way he doesn't apologize for who he is, but fearing being on the receiving end of what Kurt already puts up with -- yeah, Karofsky is just seriously screwed up, as far as I'm concerned.
