imagine thinking you’re too woke to enjoy Brooklyn Nine Nine lmaoooo

by this i mean, imagine thinking that “I don’t watch it because it’s cop propaganda!!” is a more progressive stance than “I can watch and enjoy this genuinely very funny TV show that features a diverse cast in gender, ethnicity and sexuality, that doesn’t stoop to stereotypes and also tackles serious subject matters like police brutality, gun violence, systematic racism, homophobia and lgbt struggles and being a woman in a male dominated world and work force. I can simultaneously acknowledge that this show doesn’t depict actual police officers and my enjoyment of the show doesn’t in any way detract from my acknowledgement and anger towards the behaviours of too many real US police officers. And me laughing at Andy Samberg singing Backstreet Boys doesn’t make me any less capable of loathing officers that allow racial profiling to colour their behaviours and lead to the use of excessive force towards and the mass incarceration of poc. This is because my enjoyment of pop culture and my ability to critically analyse the world are not mutually exclusive and i have an understanding of nuance and context.”
