happy st. patrick’s day how did dennis know what the rainbow was

[fatdickhead]

the people who get mad when people don't just take the show at face value are seriously undermining the intelligence and hard work RGC put into the show i am honestly so tired.

agreed!! rcg have said in the past that people don’t theorize/read into stuff enough and that it’s deeper than people think. and now that people are looking into symbolism and deeper meaning, some people think that’s dumb and there’s nothing there. but clearly there is. rcg knows what they are doing, stuff like continuity and symbolism are not mistakes and it is okay to notice and note it

[gonegirlofficial]

how do you feel about the blackface on iasip?? like i love the show other than those parts but its just?? so gross?? like its been something that i really can't shake since seeing the episodes it features in

I fucking hate it lol there’s no way I could ever excuse it. I get that they were trying to show that their characters are racist pieces of shit who would do blackface but actually doing the blackface was fucking ugly. I really just wish they hadn’t done it at all but obviously there’s no taking something like that back…in an ideal world they’d apologize for it but I don’t see that happening unfortunately

i guarantee the only line itsalwayssunny is going to reply to (if at all) from that tirade is when i called her a bigot because people lose their minds when anyone says they're a bigot. obviously the description fits her because she hates lgbtq fans of the show but she's probably gonna spend half an hour writing a dissertation on why she's actually the best lgbtq ally ever and how i should shut my stupid dyke ass up

[itsalwayssunny]

I’m more than happy to be your scapegoat and target of anger because I don’t care I literally can’t take this seriously but if I’m not the only one who thinks that way, as evident by the asks likes and reblogs….who are ya mad at? Anyone who doesn’t think like you? It’s a tv comedy.

[fatdickhead]

damn @itsalwayssunny at least @ me next time and don't be a fucking coward! I love that you are trying to say you don't care at all while you make 20 posts a day about the issue lol. you say "it's a TV comedy" as if you don't brag to every single person you've ever met that you get to be in set and know the cast. you also said the finale made you cry. you obviously take the issue extremely seriously, pretending otherwise is a waste of time. I'm "mad at" fans like you who have a superiority complex and act like any theories they don't endorse are garbage. grow the fuck up, just because someone thinks characters on a show are lgbtq doesn't mean they're stupid and deserve to be laughed at. stop being a fucking bigot perhaps.

i remember a few years ago the sunny tag on tumblr was empty and in only a few years it got infested with these people who are looking to tv shows and their characters for wish fulfillment in order to distract themselves from problems in their own lives. like, the show was always a comedy, there was no subplot or queerbaiting whatsoever. these 'fans' should be angry at themselves for getting caught up in something which would never materialize on tv anyways

I remember that too, and it’s why I got out of the tags early in the season. I have certain people get information and reblog things for me/my dash now. I’m so beyond done.

I think the problem is, as mentioned before, these people don’t watch the show but Watch The Show. They insert what they want to see with their hashtag discourse. They have it in their minds that Charlie is trans and/or ace, so they look for things that prove it. They have it in their minds Dee is a lesbian, so they look for things that prove that. They think that Dennis is bi and in love with Mac, so they look for things that prove that. They twist any look between real life friends or actors or trust each other in that moment or some type of look of admiration or waiting to see where the bit of improv goes as A Look It’s Proof They’re Boyfriends <3 <3 <3 Confirmation bias is a real and potentially dangerous thing (see: the current America political climate). The same can be said for any shows. I’ve been having discussions with a few people in the last week involving Supernatural, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Glee, and a few other shows I can’t remember….none of which I was ever a fan of (sorry, internet & the world at large) but the types of fans and Fandom involved. Even things I have been involved in that involved real people but people treated like characters (the band Keane, the improv TV show Whose Line is it Anyway). I get that media is escapism and theorizing and wanting certain things to happen is part of being a fan and part of the experience, but it really easily can go too far.

In the months leading up to the premiere there were theories and people spreading crap and acting like they had all the answers. And so that became the accepted inevitable and real facts.

This has never been a show that I ever expected anything like this to ever happen to. It’s a low rated cable comedy. It’s seen fans come and go over the years, some people don’t evne know it’s still on the air. Sure, it’s popular worldwide and has that cult following. But in the overall television media space, it’s kind of a drop in the bucket. And despite it being a very political show  with social commentary at its core, it’s not a Political Show. It’s not a romcom, a soap opera, a drama, or whatever else either. It’s not gonna hold your hand and tell you everything is okay and give you morals and life lessons. Sometimes in the end, things are just very “complex issues” and have no ending. Sometimes it’s just “poop is funny.” Any other line of thinking is weird, and is the complete opposite of what the show has established itself to be. Sure, things have changed over the years and characters have grown a little bit and this season had several reaching plot points instead of all being stand alone episodes. But it won’t change to the point where everyone is happy and gets a nice red ribbon tied up on their character’s lives. Should Dennis actually leave, no one is happy. Dennis might be happier and better off, but its a hard decision to leave everyone and thing you’ve known since you were small, even if he knows it will help fill his life up and complete him. And The Gang will miss him too. That’s never been the show. Any tender moment is glossed over with some type of joke or insult because these people typically don’t like to sit with their feelings. They’re content as they are.

listen, Big Mysterious Fan, this really needs to fucking stop. you have made the same post over and over and over again. we get it, you are an Insider and better than all other fans because you’ve been around since the beginning and have a big time twitter and know the cast and are older than others etc. your superiority complex is obvious and really, really embarrassing to suffer through.

you make a HUGE DEAL of the fact people enjoy the possibility of macdennis when it’s not a big deal at all. just because you think macdennis is impossible (when they have specifically done things they said they would never do no matter what like make the waitress and charlie have sex) doesn’t mean people who disagree with you are stupid teenagers who should stop consuming the show because you don’t personally agree with them. people are allowed to enjoy the show however they want. why is this so hard to understand? why do you keep writing 20 paragraph posts about how it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE that lgbtq headcanons could never ever ever be canon no matter what and that people who think so are expecting too much? lots of people thought mac would never come out as gay (including the writers themselves) but look what happened? if this season shows anything, it shows that the writers are willing to allow character growth to some degree. saying that people enjoying lgbtq headcanons and thinking it could become canon is “dangerous” is fucking absurd. surely you can recognize that?

people are allowed to make theories and talk about what could have been. a small minority takes it too far and harasses the cast, but that’s their fault, and we have no control over that. obviously harassing the cast is a shitty thing to do and can’t be condoned. when it does happen, it’s not just ~lol tumblr fangirls~, it’s all sorts of fans, including reddit bros who are mad that rcg are a bunch of liberal cucks, because they’ve missed the point of the show entirely.

get off your high horse. it’s fucking exhausting, holy shit!!!!!!!!

“Dennis has never been presented as anything but straight.”
