Game Changer + Season 6
GET READY FOR A GAAAAMECHANGERRRR ‼️
Starting the year right with a new project - drawing as much of the incredible Dropout cast as humanly possible. Starting with Brennan, Jacob and Erika!! Planning to add to my gamechanger pin series 🙏
Who should I draw next 👀
I will say that I have watched and enjoyed copaganda shows. I liked Brooklyn 99 and Criminal Minds and I understand why those shows were copaganda. I think what makes this feel different is that I know that The Rookie is trying to specifically tailor a clear image of the LAPD that is not corrupt and racist and famously not good, though the LAPD are all of those things currently and historically. And I think watching and enjoying these shows is one thing, but being a company that actively profits off the left-leaning ACAB beliefs of their staff is a different beast. It may not even be as bad as people assume it is, and it may be worse, but the lack of commentary or addressing why people might be upset is certainly a choice.
“Hello, I’m…50????? That Can’t be right.” “So there was a party I went to, there were these parties underneath a supermarket in Brooklyn.” and “33 is more times than there are days in January! 37?!” “Well, that’s when the writer’s strike happened.” are two sides of the same coin.
So... Paul Robalino is the new Barbie, right?
Hopefully lukewarm take but given the state of the internet I doubt it, i don’t get why everyone is so pressed about the Rookie x Dropout crossover.
Before I say anything, none of you have seen the episode, so you have no idea what it’s about or how they include either show into their respective lores, this could very well be a game changer bit I wouldn’t put it past Sam
But maybe I missed the part where everyone in the world decided cop shows are inherently evil and any interaction with them makes the person automatically disgraced, and everyone starts declaring “I never liked them anyway” and “why would they do this to us”. If that’s the battle you want to wage, I feel like it’s possible to put that energy towards the multiple other mainstream cop shows rather than a relatively smaller media company still trying to get their name in that same mainstream
I fear there’s a sense of nuance that is missing and the performative shit coming from a section of the fan base especially on here is concerning me. I hate to say this in this political climate but not everything (SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THIS SITUATION) is an attack on you. Sam Reich doesn’t know you or your preferences, he’s gonna make content that makes him money first cause Dropout is a company first. A good company yes, we like them a lot, but if you all are just now coming to the realization that the company Dropout isn’t your best friend that caters to you and your ideals only, then there are some parasocial tendencies you might want to address.
Reading the reactions to the announcement actually make me want to puke and I’m tired of people virtue signaling and cancelling over normal shit that they blow way out of proportion
