you know i hate tumblrs “i hope they do something problematic” shit so much? its not only with people like thomas sanders or john mulaney or that comic guy with the bike, but with whole ass shows and projects? like nobody ever said b99 is cop propaganda. nobody was saying that until one single person mentioned it and suddenly its the worst show you could watch because of one aspect of their show, while ignoring the shows diversity and political stances.
same happened to dream daddy, like you cant deny that that game was groundbreaking for the lgbt society, but suddlenly some people started shit like ‘uhhh but 5 years ago the game grumps made transphobic jokes’ and ‘you know that joesph is actually a satanist, right?’ and suddenly no one talked about the game anymore?
everytime someone tries their fucking best to be inclusive, diverse etc. people are digging through everything they can find just to justify that they dont like it? overwatch recently hosted a huge event to raise money for breast cancer research in association with the BCRF and without even doing one second of research people accused them of working with the susan g. komen foundation (which wasnt true) and tried to boycott a fucking charity event?
what im saying is, dont let tumblr ruin everything you love because they are bitter
@ everyone saying “but b99 IS cop propaganda”
You’re missing the point.
The point is you can like something and be critical. Something can have some issues and still be good. Just because one aspect is maybe not great/bad doesnt mean the entire thing is ruined and thus must be trash and shunned. That’s the point here.
Not to mention, then y’all should rag on and hate EVERY cop show- including Bones, Castle, Monk, Criminal Minds, Law & Order, etc. etc.
But y’all don’t. None of y’all rag on those shows as much as you have chosen to rag on b99. because b99 is more well-liked here on tumblr– because it is well liked for it’s humor and diversity. You guys hold shows and media with diverse catss to such ridiculously high standards and will write ESSAYS on why you shouldn’t watch something like b99, but on a lazy sunday afternoon you’ll watch Bones because you won’t admit you enjoy it.
You deliberately choose to ruin things because you 1. have nothing better to do and 2. have a delusional sense of morality, in which things are black or white or a perfect gray.
It’s like Hamilton– never mind that the musical broke grounds in the musical scene, providing something NEW and FRESH to the same themes and music styles in musicals. It proved that you did not need another Wicked to sell out shows or make history– a cast of primarily POC and fuckin rap and hip-hop?? being loved WORLDWIDE?? When y’all cry out for representation and get it?? But y’all DESTROYED it over a bunch of 14 yr old artists being tone deaf and accidentally getting popular for their art of it.
That doesn’t mean anything is PERFECT or free from criticism just because of it’s good bits, but it means you DO need to appreciate and support the small things and encourage companies and producers to see value into diverse and socially conscious. That don’t mean they magically change morals, but what we see in the media is important and has an effect on real life.
