Klaine Vs. Kurtofsky

Description

My thoughts are as follows:

Klaine:
GOOD: Romantic, very cute, Kurt and Blaine have lots in common.

BAD: Blaine seems like a Kurt clone, the relationship is soooo cliché (as in adhering to almost every gay stereotype imaginable), and the Klaine fandom can get to be obnoxious.

Kurtofsky:
GOOD: Redemption, More feasible (there are more flawed Daves out there than perfect Blaines I'd wager), huge potential for Kurt and Dave's character growth/development, everyone likes to root for the underdog, and the two strike a good balance.

BAD: Why on earth would Kurt want to be with his tormenter? There doesn't seem to be much in common between the two, and it seems unlikely that it would be a completely healthy relationship (Dave's got a lot of stuff he needs to work out for himself and to make up for).

My bias:
Okay, I'll admit, I've never really been all that into Blaine. When I first saw Never been Kissed I was positive he was just going to be another Jesse character (Ian doesn't want Kurt to leave; *hiss*) and then once the kurtofsky moment happened I couldn't help but fall in love with the tragedy of Dave's situation and Dave himself.

So this was spawned after "Prom" came out. That was a great episode for us Kurtofskyers, but when I got onto Deviantart I saw that all the groups were spammed with art for the 2 seconds of Klaine that was in that episode. I was very annoyed with this >< Dave was reaching out to Kurt and the two were making amends and all y'all care about is Darren Criss??

Sooo, in the spirit of fairness, I decided to make a comparison of the two pairings; I tried to be fair, but obviously some of my kurtofsky bias is showing through ^^; I don't hate Blaine or Klaine for the record, it just bothers me how they seem to get the most attention. And I understand that that particular pairing is appealing to a vast majority of teenagers out there, I mean come on, who wouldn't want to have a Blaine boyfriend? Just, show Dave some love too guys, you know?

Cheers

EDIT: First off wow, I was not expecting this to get so many views and favorites o.O So thank you guys for that :heart:
Secondly, for those of you who perpetuate the "Dave is a rapist and will abuse Kurt and he should die" argument, I direct you to this video, it should give you some insight into Dave's character: [link]

EDIT: Oh, and I want to reiterate that I don't hate Klaine at all really. If you have a good argument about why Klaine is better or more ideal than Kurtofsky then by all means, hit me with it! I'd love to hear every side of the argument :) And that goes for other pairings too haha. Share the love ^_^

I actually dislike Blaine. He's very Will Schuester-y. He paints himself as Prince Charming, but is actually very petty, vindictive, and controlling, which means that everything that makes Kurt KURT is gradually worn down and sanded away.
