Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[billd91]

I see Ron Swanson as a caricature. I know many, maybe most, people do not. And I suspect you're right and he will indeed age badly.

Oh, he’s obviously a caricature. And that’s why I don’t think he will age badly at all. The toxic aspects of his masculinity are clearly held up for laughs because they’re so exaggerated. But there are also complexities in his character that are actually kind of endearing. Notice how polite and correct he behaves around people waiting on him or otherwise serving him as a customer.

Unrelated to the above:

That is a really, really bad premise, but you committed to it good and hard. Good job, well done.

Ah. So you know nothing about it, haven't read it, but are still going to opine about it. That's nice.

That is ridiculous. Staves can't type emails

Why do you hate the internet?

I mean, besides all of the obvious reasons.

I like Ron Swanson. Despite his many flaws. He is an excellent character.

Maybe I'm just feeling a bit negative about humanity at the moment. But I just see people failing at media literacy when they watch him. I dunno.
