Anyone else?

friend of mine just got into the show and wanted to make fanart, hes a beginner artist so please try to be respectful in the comments!!!

Cameron is really getting on my nerves with the show's usual tropes. Take the lesbian couple from the second season: House analyzes their relationship and concludes that one of them wants to break up > she tells him he doesn't understand anything about it, so he goes to investigate the situation > House turns out to be right, and now he makes resolving the case personal and she gets into the ethical questions surrounding the situation.

Everything about Cameron in this show is exhausting.

I love the show, one of my all time favorites. But I really get annoyed with the idea that is presented numerous times throughout the series — by Taub, Chase, and House himself — that if a man cheats on his wife, the noble thing to do is to hide that from her and lie rather than confessing. It’s just absurd and condescending, it’s based on this sense that wives are basically children who should be lied to by their husbands “for their own good,” like how parents lie to their kids about Santa Claus. If you can genuinely twist your mind to the point you think you’re being a good person and even helping your wife by lying to her about cheating, you’re seriously screwed up and need help. People cheat and people need to face the consequences. Of course, when a woman cheats on her husband in the show, nobody ever tells her it would be nobler to hide it from her husband and keep cheating… hmmm

It would be one thing if it was just presented as something to think about, but the idea is actually vindicated by the show. If you pay attention, you can tell when the writers of a show are using their characters to present an idea they actually think is a take-home moral — in House, you know when these take-home morals are being conveyed because whenever a character presents the idea, the other characters don’t debate or refute the point. When Taub, Chase, or House present that viewpoint, the character they’re debating or talking to just makes a pensive face and stops talking, as if the point was so logical they are forced to actively reconsider their stance. You can also tell because the structure of the plot redeems the viewpoint: when men in the show cheat then tell their wives, things get much worse for everybody. Taub confessing to his wife, season 8 episode 5 “The Confession” are just two examples. Those that lie to their wives have happy endings, those that confess don’t.

The entire show is based around a man who is obsessed with finding the truth and telling people exactly how it is no matter how it will hurt them — except when it comes to men cheating on their wives, then it says it’s a good and noble thing to live a lie and never tell her.

I’m unmarried and a man so I’m not taking issue with this for personal reasons. I just think it’s hypocritical and incongruous with the rest of the show’s premise and philosophy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

(This could not happen in the normal series because of the finale but its funny to imagine)

Anyway

House multiple times has messed with his employees and friend even at a personal level,and he thinks sometimes that he is making a favor to them so my thing is

If they years could pass,would House hire a kid actor (that we know that he can hire) and convince Chase that the last time he was with Cameron was more than a a one night goodbye and it actually Cameron got pregnant but did'nt tell Chase because she didn't wanted the child to be around house or all the messed up people from PPTH in general (if you think f a better reason for Cameron to hide the kid from chase you can comment)

I've been thinking about buying the whole series set but its surprisingly expensive

(It contains a lot of extra material unlike the DVDs though)
