Is it just me or does Michael Schur (Parks & Rec, Brooklyn 99, The Good Place) h a t e white men? Just take a look at his shows: There are no positive white male characters in there at all. They're either losers, evil, or both.
If he'd remake the show today he would definitely cast a black actor.
Andrew Fisher
Um why not just watch a different show?
Cry me a river when you get rounded up and sent into death camps
Matthew Adams
Are there any positive characters?
Austin Bell
Also the most shallow and selfish persons of the main cast are probably Tom and Donna, who don't fit OP's incel theory
Christian Scott
>Um why not just watch a different show?
I'm too invested to stop watching
>Cry me a river when you get rounded up and sent into death camps
What do you think happens before people are being sent to death camps? Demonization.
David Lee
Ron Swanson like Jack Donaughy where both originally intended to be villains to the independent white women, pathetic Pete was actually suppose to be Liz Lemons buddy before he got sidelined in later seasons. Both actors did such a good job coupled with the fact that women like having strong male superiors that they ended up being the best characters in both shows.
Evan Harris
But The Good Place is really about Michael’s redemption, who is a white man.
Wyatt Morris
>There are no positive white male characters in there at all
Tom and April are both Selfish and lazy, but also karma Houdini's. What they do is just treated as some quirk rather than people you wouldn't want to be around, with the exception of tolerating it because you want to rail Aubrey Plaza.
Asher Turner
see also: Gina in Brooklyn 99, thank God she's not in the show anymore, such a lazily written character
Isaiah Kelly
the people in the picture went to the bad place and guess where white men go..
Xavier Foster
>Parks & Rec Ron is based
>Brooklyn 99 all characters in this show are weirdo and/or loosers even Raymond Holt and Terry Jeffords
Even if we ignore his evil past, he spends the whole show fucking up everything he attempts to do, and can only succeed with the help of his female/PoC friends. In the season 3 finale he has a nervous breakdown in a situation he's been in literally hundreds of times before and lets Ellinor take over.
>inb4 Shaun
Literally a demon, see also Adam Scott's character
Apart from these two there are no white men playing major roles in The Good Place.
Brooklyn 99:
>inb4 Charles
Portrayed as a pathetic cuck without a spine throughout the whole show
>inb4 Hitchcock & Scully
Literally too stupid to function
>inb4 The Vulture
Total asshole
>inb4 Jake
hehe, think again
Camden Wood
This. He's literally a white devil
Camden Bennett
Someone hasn't watched Season 3 yet...
Austin Jackson
You need to catch up on the show there buddy boy
Luis Ward
Isn't this a common trope in US media? Look at The Simpsons...
Alexander Allen
Ben and Chris are too
Evan Russell
Not even remotely true about Jack and 30 Rock. No idea about Ron Swanson, but if your argument boils down to comparison then I doubt you're right about Ron too.
Owen James
Not that guy, but Jack WAS supposed to be a bit more like an antagonist IIRC.
I can't remember where I read it though, so I might just be pulling it out of my ass.
Hudson Thomas
Holt seems pretty perfect, IMO. I have a boner for stoic characters though. so might not be that partial.
Luis Howard
holt is a fiction reading bimbo
Hudson Jenkins
are you gay? why do you want to watch white males when you have Kristen Bell
Mason Smith
Jerry is literally the best and most well-adjusted character in Parks and Rec. He's just clumsy
Adrian Walker
he was supposed to be a parody. their Golems can backfire sometimes
Oliver Flores
Ted Danson you dumbfuck, literally every other main character is someone who was sent to hell and Danson overcame his own demonic nature to save them.
Also the only person on Earth that "figured out" the point system was a white guy
>Ted Danson you dumbfuck, literally every other main character is someone who was sent to hell and Danson overcame his own demonic nature to save them.
Did we watch the same show? He's a whiny, incompetent mess. Yeah he's growing as a person, but only after interracial couple teaches him about ethics and shows him the error of his ways. Literally none of the plans he comes up with himself succeed. The whole premise of the show, his let's-make-people-torture-each-other-plan fails literally hundreds of times. The hot air balloon to the good place in season 2? Literally nothing but hot air. His meddling on Earth? Doesn't work. Without his friends he'd be completely fucked.
Don't get me wrong, Michael is my favourite character but he's hardly a positive white male character. He's mediocre at best.
>Also the only person on Earth that "figured out" the point system was a white guy
True, but even he is revealed to be a complete pushover without a spine or any sort of confidence. What kind of message is that? White men letting everyone just walk over them is the smart thing to do?
Robert Garcia
Rorschach syndrome. Failed strawman that the audience liked.
Jose Russell
More tall brown woman.
Xavier Sullivan
>lol dude you're so butthurt that this show has non-white lead characters, get a grip
No I'm just criticizing how white men are portrayed in shows written by a specific author. If I had a problem with non-white lead characters I obviously wouldn't watch the show, but I don't. I just think it's interesting how the white lead characters are written.
Liam Garcia
Ron is meant to be an mockery, an insulting caricature of libertarians and strong masculine white men in general. He's like Colbert, where he was intended to be insulting but people didn't take it that way and actually loved him.
Hudson Davis
Why would you watch anything by this faggot in the first place? These shows are all literally made for women.
Christopher Rodriguez
I think your idea fails because Andy started out as an asshole like most of the characters pratt got to play and turned into someone loveable, then went on to do a lot of other stuff and even helped turn his career around to become who he is today.
I don't know about you guys but I want to suck Jamilla's titties
Asher Wright
I like the humour and the general feeling of the shows, they're light hearted and fun to watch. Also, the writing on The Good Place is superb. Never seen a sitcom that boldly written since Heil Honey, I'm home.
Andy was supposed to be gone after one season though. Chris Pratt's charisma is literally the only reason why he became a likeable character.
Mason Perez
I love how he has literally the perfect life, a great wife, kids that love him, a great house, monster penis and a job he loves. And no-one can work out how he did it.
Jaxon Rodriguez
and they changed their mind and kept him, think about the jim character from parks and rec that they got rid of after the first two seasons.
for a producer that supposedly hates white men, he has a lot of them in his shows.
And ben and chris, and ron and gary,
Logan Campbell
Who doesn't?
David Ward
Also a hot piece of ass.
Chase Robinson
She’s the only browny that gets saved when the race war starts.
Matthew Lewis
what about padma lakshmi
Christian Campbell
>black libertarian
Evan Hill
Nah, she’s cute but not spared-from-a-racial-cleanse kinda cute.
Jason Campbell
Also hilarious according to his academic friend circle
>The Good Place i don't get the appeal of this show at all, i managed half the first season and it was shit. not even brown tits was enough to keep me interested.
Cameron Rogers
Ted Danson is so fuking white and he ended up being even a good person in the show
Not of fan of the random left opinions that come out of nowhere. Parks and rec was fine but the good place/99 is full of them. Same in Santa Clarita diet but I dunno who writes that
>y'all know the rest of the world brackets jews into the same group as white people no we don't
Easton Martin
Holt is very close to a control freak and too hard edge when he starts, Jake bends that down, which helps to deliver jokes where he breaks his supposed code. I dont like his other plot with the crazy superior woman, but yeah aside from those hes pretty faultless, though his interactions with other characters is great. Rosa exceptional self-serving behavior esp.
Owen Jones
>I'm so deluded I think normal mainstream opinions are MUHH lefty Life must suck for you Celtus
Ayden Perez
pen
Jordan Ross
Why are incels triggered by literally everything
Jace Lee
Um Michael?
Nathaniel Ward
Jews are smarter versions of whites
t. Singapore
Gabriel Torres
Go to bed edgy eastern European. You need to save electricity for cooking tomorrow.
Ryder Reed
>The boss character was meant to be a bit antagonistic in a workplace sitcom
Oh my God, really?
Elijah Ramirez
Why is it everytime you're triggered, you start calling everyone incels?
Tyler Morgan
He totally banged her irl
Angel Long
>so dumb that you think trash written in California is reflective of actual reality
Michael literally goes from being a nice dude to being revealed as an evil bastard to developing into one of the most lovable and sympathetic characters on the show thanks to the magic of friendship. Just because he's anxious at the end of S3 out of fearing he'll doom everybody for eternity doesn't make him a loser. You're literally projecting your white genocide bs delusions onto everything.
William Taylor
It's a surprisingly fast paced show that's really good at subverting expectations.
Ethan Perez
I'm not really sure what your point is.
Justin Allen
>best character on show is literally white male >literally legendary Ted Danson >OP still makes a whole thread to bitch about how Schur (a white man) must HATE LE WHITES
And they both went from fairly important side characters with major parts in the plot in season 1 to barely appearing for a single gag and 2 minutes of screentime in the rest of the show.
Evan Campbell
>the USA is founded on immigration and all that shit >the statue of liberty of pro-taking in refugees >Jesus is always talking about taking in the refugees and shit >literally this take in the refugee shit is preached in every christian church
Yeah, being nice to refugees it totally only like a lefty thing? You're kind of proving my point Cletus.
tahani can be played by white male without any changes to dialog
Owen Howard
Legal, controlled immigration channels =/= masses of “refugees” (read: economic migrants) banging at the doors and demanding entry to welfare states
Dominic Reyes
April was that way during the first three season, but the moment she started to become more like Leslie the writers started to give her more of a persoanlity to differentiate April from her.
Bentley Thomas
Yet he turned out to be the most well likled character simply because the shit he said was true at it's core. It reminded me of DS9 where Dukat was written to be Space Hitler, yet became the most well likled character until the writers got pissed at it and destroyed him in S7.
Andrew Kelly
>implying that "left" and "right" aren't quasi-meaningless categorizations that have been reduced to "pro unskilled immigration" and "anti unskilled immigration"
Aiden Foster
But the good place didn't say "legal controlled immigration channels" or "illegals" or "masses of economic refuges" or whatever specific thing that might be polarizing. They were just commenting on a general platitude....aka like Jesus...aka be nice to refugees. You're just acting like a fucking moron trying to obscure something so fucking basic and universally agreed upon.
>Jesus: Be nice to >You: NO I DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S A LEFTY THING!!! AND WHAT IF...
imagine when actual left opinions like worker revolution begin being memed about in shows, what will you cucks complain about and call it then?
Liam James
Why do incels hate being named
Ian Nelson
Yes we do
Jayden Jenkins
a white guy is literally the biggest star to come out of something by this guy, and the most beloved character in a show already filled with great ones you're just a faggot
Schur should have stuck to his baseball blog. NBC comedies are pozzed as fuck.
Aaron Morales
That show is such PC garbage. i thought the same thing when they had Adam Scott as the representation for ALL THAT IS EVIL!!! lol hes not even subtle about it casting the whitest of the white uptight white guys and then GET THIS he does the made up liberal SJW cliche of telling all the female characters to SMILE MORE hahahah oh Schur u really are the writer we need in these trying times of having LITERAL HITLER IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! thank you michael, u sure showed us youre one of the good whites!!!
Sebastian Roberts
>nonstop reddit spacing have sex
Christian King
Obviously they're complaining about neoliberalism and not old-timey icepick communism. Just calling it "leftism" is not 100% precise on their part but you're just doing stupid wordgame gotchas here.
Jason Fisher
>only two pictures so far of the brown chick Peter I thought we talked about this
