tiny brain: brooklyn nine nine isnt cop propaganda
average brain: brooklyn nine nine IS cop propaganda and that means u cant watch it
giant brain: brooklyn nine nine is absolutely cop propaganda and 1 episode about the treatment of black people by cops in no way fixes that, however i still watch and enjoy it because i am a mature person with critical thinking skills who understands that boycotting every problematic piece of media is a fruitless endeavor. especially because boycotting b99 specifically would mean sacrificing the many other great things it brings to tv, including its humor, its diversity, its strong & well-rounded female characters, its presentation of healthy friendships & relationships, its subversion of harmful stereotypes, and its constant social commentary on political issues such as transphobia, gun control, flaws in the prison system etc which other shows wouldnt DARE touch
1. This isn’t even an exaggeration, this is how straight people™
think. 2. If you need good bisexual representation in media, please watch this video. This episode made my bi heart very happy.
I really wish this had included the scene where her dad visits her at work to tell her that he regrets his behavior, still loves her no matter what, and is making an effort to forget the way he was raised to accept her in spite of what he doesn’t understand because it’s still realistic and he even says “your mom is gonna need more time” because it’s true that some people just won’t except it but it’s another great heartfelt moment
“I just want a gay character who’s also a POC who is open but isn’t defined by either of those traits and is still a well-written, three-dimensional character”
