I don't trust people who make tv shows where their bff is a libertarian who gleefully talks about stopping any progress and actively make people fight harder than necessary for progress to happen. I can't watch Parks and Recs because I get so angry at Ron.

I thought you were talking about Mr. Rogers for a second.

[wackypinkbunny]

lol, no.

I read libertarian as librarian and was all “WTF did Lady Elaine ever do?”

[save_me_xenu]

Same.

The part where Ron indoctrinated that little girl into his political philosophy was so inappropriate.

I have a lot of feelings about Parks and Recs lol. Some of it I love and Leslie Knope is one of my favorite characters ever but on the other hand I couldn't stand Ron most of the time and I HATED the way the characters bullied Jerry. Like if it was a darker comedy with characters that are supposed to be problematic or if Jerry was a racist asshole or smth, I wouldn't have had a problem, but the show made a point of being inspiring and feel good so to have all these ~good people continuosly bully some poor guy just because he wasn't cool enough or whatever really bothered me

It was a running gag that personally didn't bother me because I think it balanced out with how Jerry had a GREAT home life with a beautiful and loving family. Besides, the other characters did care about him at the end of the day. In the flash=forward, when Leslie and Ben go to his funeral, it's shown that Jerry lived a long, fulfilling, and happy life.

so as long as someone has a happy home life they're fair game for bullying? wtf?

[promisering15]

mte. I didn't realize someone was fair game if they were happy at home. Is that a new thing?
"Hey Lisa, how's your home life?"
"It's amazing, Betty. I have the perfect husband and a decent house and... a little one on the way!"
"Cool then. You're worthless so give me your lunch money."

LOL, okay then...

[sweet_heloise]

I mean, it was a gag on a TV show so I'm only looking at it in that context. Has nothing to do with real life.

[wackypinkbunny]

Omg same! And then when he left they still have to bully someone because that's how nature works? Like, what? Their bullying of Jerry was awful and I never understood why. And near the end they try to give him a great life, but it's like it's too late, we already know y'all are jerks.
