Everyone severely overreacted about the Mitchum Huntsberger situation
I feel like this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but everyone in the show severely overreacted to Mitchum Huntsberger telling Rory she didn’t “have it” in journalism.
I understand Rory’s initial shock. I mean he was a shark in the journalism business so of course it hurt when he told her she was unqualified. But everyone in the show is acting as if he did some terrible thing. People act as if he harassed her, bullied her, embarrassed her or something. But I think that he was actually polite and honest.
And what’s more, I think he was right. She didn’t have it. The second Rory was criticized, she threw a fit and got herself thrown in jail and dropped out of school for a whole semester. The real world is tough, people will criticize you. And instead of using Mitchums words to fuel herself and try to get better and change his mind, she kind of fell into this whole “I am a victim” mindset.
Although he did it out of pity and to compensate for his family’s rudeness, he did give her a genuine shot.
I’m curious to see what other people think of this
