And Im Not Blaming Anyone I Was Guilty Of This Too - Blog Posts

We're all aware that Dean Pelton repeatedly harassed Jeff and stalked him right.

The thing that gets me the most is that nobody would brush this off if it was anyone other than Jeff. Imagine the Dean's behavior on ANYONE else than him. Stalking Shirley's house to move in next to her. Putting his hand on Annie's chest. Reading Abed's private emails.

Jeff constantly gets objectified and it's easy to brush it off because it's built up in his character.

He's the definition of the "you're just a pretty face with nothing underneath."

Because he's terrified of showing anything underneath, because even he has trouble accepting and understanding what he needs.

So he objectifies himself. Hot male lead that gets the girls and gets hit on by men and women. It's to be expected, it's the formula, and if the Dean sexually harasses him, it's probably not a big deal.

Jeff has been making excuses for the Dean for years. He is too forgiving, often at the expense of himself. On one hand because he's self destructive. On the other because he spent too long without friends and family to hold grudges or be mad at them. But he has to stop running away from his emotions and cope properly. He's allowed to be hurt.
