making this a separate text post so people who don’t wanna see the gifset again can see my response :D

@randomfigures @lesbo @dadnetos @larabeee

i respect your opinions; i shouldn’t promote my favorite show this way, i do have my own ulterior motives because i would love to gain viewers for b99 because it’s got tragically low ratings. i suppose i was trying to make the point that it shouldn’t be automatically blacklisted purely based on the fact that it’s about cops.

i clearly have a different view of the definition of propaganda. in my head, propaganda is fear mongering, ie, anti-semetic (read nazi) or anti-japanese (read japanese internment camps) and similar glorification and acceptance of abhorrent behaviors and beliefs. i recognize that in this political climate, cops shouldn’t be glorified in any way. simultaneously, i believe it’s important to see good cops (i’m sorry to stick to that good cop/bad cop viewpoint but i do believe the 99th precinct’s detectives are good guys with strong moral compasses) calling out a bad system. i would like to point out that holt’s goal has always been fixing the corruption and immoral practices in the NYPD by rising in the ranks; i equally respect terry for refusing to let the blatant racism of a beat cop get swept under the rug for political reasons.

the corruption the show focuses on primarily regards superior officers (the chief of police, the commissioner, a widely respected - ugh - FBI agent, another respected - double ugh - lieutenant, a deputy chief, a prison warden on a power trip). in my head, bad cops are usually beat cops - people who figured hey let’s do six months of training so we can have a lifelong power trip. i recognize that just about everyone instinctively feels guilty and anxious when they see a cop car in their rearview mirror and have always figured that officers get a major thrill out of watching traffic slow to a crawl based on their presence on the road.

personally, i don’t have a problem with detectives, generally speaking. but your typical police officer - and i’ve had more than one very negative experience dealing with them based on my gender, my skin color, my age, automatic assumptions that the company i kept made me guilty by association - is as likely to be an asshole as a decent person. possibly more likely.

i see where you all would consider the gifset to be pure propaganda. my way of looking at the world is obviously different from yours, and that’s entirely okay. brooklyn 99 isn’t a perfect show. but it is a show about a single precinct composed of detectives with pure motives. it’s worth noting that there are 50+ precincts in the NYPD (77, according to a march 2017 article), and that when they do interact with another precinct, the detective from said precinct plants fake evidence. the 99th precinct is a tiny part of a horrifically bigger, screwed up system. it doesn’t represent the NYPD or the police/justice system at large.

anyway. we all have our opinions, but it would be great if we expressed them in more positive ways. i appreciate feedback and commentary and constructive criticism. i spend time and thought on these gifsets, i’m a sensitive chick who takes things too personally, which makes tumblr a dangerous place for me to post original material that makes any kind of bigger-picture statement.

i probably shouldn’t bother responding to the negativity, but i’m not a person above accepting said feedback/commentary/constructive criticism. so, please don’t mock or invalidate something i’ve created for the purpose of representing a fandom i adore and, yes, trying to sway non-viewers. it’s not my place to do that, i doubt it will sway the opinions of people who hold the opinions stated by the above blogs and others, but it’s hard for me not to fight for a show with such an uncertain future. also, i’m not trying to call out those people who commented negatively by tagging you guys - i just want you to know i’m directly addressing your words.

thanks if you took the time to read this.

Stygian Ice Carving - Sunday September 20 (2021-09-04)

Curious about some of the other stuff that goes on in the town of Brownstone? Here are some of the headlines from this week in the adventure!

I think it’s Sunday Sept 20 but it’s hard to tell and I’m feeling compelled to carve a warning into this ice to let those who come after me know the hazards of this Hell. I’m fleeing bandits after my soul just as much as terrors under the ice. Maybe I should have made a deal for my soul, but if you’re reading this, you will probably have to make your own choice soon.
