#I know it’s just copaganda

[insert-witty-user-name-here]

Ya know... when I think about some of the shows that have captured my heart in the past (and which character dynamics I've rooted for) it makes sense why I fell so hard for the Loki series. Oh.

Damn, I thought I was more original than this.

#for as much as I am a burn the system to the ground type girl…. #I am such a sucker for crime procedurals #I know it’s just copaganda #but I was raised on basic cable in the 90s and 2000s okay #let me have this guilty pleasure #anyway rewatching White Collar for the first time in a decade #and was hit with this realization #bones tv #castle #lucifer #white collar #loki series #neal caffrey #peter burke #mobius m mobius #Lokius

END the copaganda that not giving your DNA to your cops makes you more suspicious.

END the copaganda that if you don't tell your side of the story to a cop you're going to be arrested.

END the copaganda that not allowing the cops into your home without a warrant is criminal behavior.

END the copaganda that not allowing cops to interrogate you without an attorney present is inherently more suspicious.

END the copaganda that if you don't speak to a cop that stops you on the street, you are breaking a law.

this is all bullshit and it is framed in a way that destroys your constitutional right to be protected from unreasonable intrusions into your life and into your home. it is a way for cops and the law enforcement system to intrude on your privacy in ways they are legally not allowed to, by making YOU feel like YOU will be seen as a bad guy for standing up for your rights.*

demand to see a warrant. if they stop you on the street, ask if you're being detained and if so, why. do not speak to cops without your attorney present. that is WHY miranda rights exist. you are ALLOWED to keep your mouth shut.

*ALL of this is stuff that will be more dangerous to do if you are black or brown or visibly trans or queer or disabled. if at ANY POINT you feel that you are going to be at risk of harm for doing these things, you are NOT at fault for complying. your rights are important but they are not more important than preserving your life. stay safe out there y'all.

#this post is also very heavily focused on US experiences and US copaganda but i'm a defense attorney in the US so y'know #that's what i know #copaganda #ACAB #constitutional rights #shit like this is why i can barely watch true crime and why i refuse to watch cop shows anymore #it's just. all over and it makes me so angry #shut up alix no one cares #sometimes alix goes viral

Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesn’t happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you

#persona #persona 3 #akihiko sanada #shinjiro aragaki #akishinji #i guess #im making it that way lol #see if you know me you know i actively avoid p4 arena like the plague both cuz i hate p4 and cuz #i simply have no interest in how the p3 characters turn out if this is whats being done to them #i seen how akihiko and mitsuru look I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH I WANNA EAT GRAVEL #the only character i care about is ken really i approve of him getting to be a funny teenager i love my baby boy so much #but i watched the akihiko social episodes for reload and he talks about becoming a cop and i was just like. of fucking course 😞 #we just cant escape this shit huh theres always gotta be a cop character for some reason #i consider this a bad ending for him cuz even though atlus and their copaganda loving asses would probably looove to tell me otherwise #theres literally no way shinji would stand for that shit like my guy has beef with the kirijos and was a homeless addict #so you know cops wouldnt like him and hes seen some shit #they had to kill him cuz hed tell the truth sldjks #i definitely am gonna explore this dynamic in my fic but you know. no way in hell is aki gonna be a cop on my watch lol #maybe he can be like. a PE teacher or some shit akskkls

There’s a scene in Criminal Minds where an HR rep comes to give a presentation on sexual harassment in the workplace and it’s clearly based on actual behavior from Morgan and Garcia.

So now I’m imagining a similar situation with Roy and Jamie. All of Richmond AFC sitting through mandatory harassment training when the slide comes up of “Examples of Innapropriate Behaviour” and it’s like:

1. Asking coworkers to tie strings around their genitalia

2. Tying colleagues to a bicycle and yelling “mush”

3. Making employees repeat degrading remarks about their own appearance

And Roy’s just like:

#roy kent #jamie tartt #and the poor beleaguered HR rep #royjamie #criminal minds is copaganda and bad for America #but Let me LIVE #it’s also a procedural with found family vibes! #I can’t help but love it #even though I know it’s bad #its like shopping at Amazon #bad for me #bad for America #but oh the dopamine #anyway this got off track #but just know I have a whole series of headcanons about outsider pov beleaguered HR rep

AND ANOTHER THING WHILE IM ON THE TOPIC

I feel like Knuckles the series is another one of those times that Tails was right there, and what I mean by this, is Wade should not have been in the focus of the show, sorry don't care lol. He's a fine side character, incompetent white man who doesn't do anything well and never gets consequences for it is fine, but we didn't need another show centered around that topic.

Now, I may be biased bc Tails is my favorite but if we needed to give Knuckles a journey about learning to find home and we needed to give him a powerful sidekick who also learns a lesson, Tails is right there. Tails, who grew up without a family entirely/a family who hated him is learning to accept a new family, and Knuckles, who had an entire family but lost them all is accepting that it's okay to find a new one. That literally could've been the plot and we could've kept all the shenanigans that happened, minus the Wade Whipple bowling tournament plot, and the copaganda.

The elder guardians would've loved for Tails (or even Sonic, or ffs MADDIE) to be the newest successors of their tribe, and he would've been perfect for it. A young, hopeful, bright mind, still malleable to learn the ways of the tribe and no ego to get in the way, and an overall good kid.

Plus I feel like what most of us want is to see the boys interact, not some random white guy.

#im just gonna do it myself at this point Jesus Christ people #also if it HAD to be a human either make it Maddie. she would've been the perfect candidate #or make a new character #i think knuckles is so routed within the black community that making his human side kick black is whats best #instead we just got Scott Pilgrim again #UHGGGGGGGG I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE COPAGANDA AND RACISM IN THESE MOVIES YOU GUYS DONT EVEN KNOW #anyway #sth #sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #i have the mic #knuckles the echidna #sonic cinematic universe #scu #sonic spoilers #just realized i spelled rooted wrong sorry guys #dont @ me about none of this unless you agree with me btw #knuckles series #knuckles series spoilers

nimona did a far better trans allegory than the supposed one in across the spider-verse. the fear and violence towards her aberrant body/existence was the literal foundation of their society and nimona spends the whole film dealing with that history. she is degendered, demonized, and the call for her extermination, painted as morally necessary and just, permeates everywhere. and even if someone is fine with her, like bal, it tends to be highly conditional: she needs to be easily legible as a girl for their comfort, and her shapeshifting has to be peripheral and unobtrusive.

she also calls for the destruction of their systems meanwhile gwen becomes a cop so yeah i'll take this trans girl instead

#atsv's themes were all pretty generic and broad so it doesn't result in a compelling trans read #nimona #edit: before you comment on my astv dig know that i did not like the movie. you can't convince me it wasn't copaganda #so it was just me being a bitch but within the general movie discussion they are being related to each other in some way #even if its just through their shared medium

[bi-bothered-bewildered]

Having so many new people watching the show is so weird at times because I'll see people making post like "why is nobody talking about [this issue] or [that issue] and it's like babe. we hashed that discourse out years ago. you're late.

#911 on abc #isn't to say that these issues are things to be discussed once and then moved past #and it's good to mention certain perspectives to keep them fresh in people's minds #what some of you are on here like. #'I noticed this issue that i havent seen mentioned in the craziness of the aftermath of bi buck so obviously no ones ever addressed it ever' #like. that ask I got last night about Ryan felt so weird #and I just saw somebody talk about Athena and copaganda #like girl we know. lol.

i have everything in me to be a sonic movie hater, but i think my expectations were simply too low to even evoke emotions in me like anger

#reread the notes i made after watching the movies #i do not stand by them #but also like. #god i just cant bring myself to feel anything for the movies #i see people losing their minds over some of the sonic 3 leaks #and i looked at them and i was like: okay..... #feels too safe and corporate like damn #i just know theres going to be copaganda somewhere in the movie #there is going to have some military justification #i doubt maria is going to be explicitly undeniablyy shot #im saying it now. Theyre going to pull the 'actually ONE guy was really bad and was angry and shot maria #but hashtag not all cops shadow you need to forgive earth' #man.................. #im super bitter today but i have no expectations for the movies #and the thing is theyre both so mid i cant even bring myself to actually hate them

So so so glad White Fang is already included because swear to god the number of racists in the fndm that see absolutely nothing wrong with "Rooster Teeth created a fantasy race of Animal people who all act like Animals and get treated like Animals by their human love interests and they've been an enslaved race until very recently and one of them was literally physically branded as the property of the White Germanic Multibillionaire Princess Protagonist, and humanity still discriminates against them and treats them like animals so they started to engage in disruptive protest like theft and property damage against abusive racist corporations, and so then they DESTROY AN ENTIRE FUCKING NATION AS VICIOUS VIOLENT EVIL TERRORISTS WHO WEAR MONSTER MASKS AND THE MAIN ONE (the one physically branded as the property of one of the protagonists) IS A LITERAL HATE SINK TURNED INTO AN ABUSIVE STALKING MURDEROUS INCEL WHO CARES MORE ABOUT HURTING THE OTHER UWU PROTAGONISTS THAN ABOUT HIS OWN PEOPLE WHO HE MURDERS BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHAT REBELS AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS DO I GUESS by the way some of the writers and voice actors for the series literally said that they based the Faunus on black people and based the White Fang on the Black Panthers"

I can't post images on Anon and don't want to send this on main, but I have a screenshot of a note that, for several months, was listed in the 'Trivia' section of Adam Taurus's page on the Villains Wiki, which said "Adam's goals reflect that of certain real life groups in America in the 2010's, that claim to want equality when in fact they want control" iirc I don't remember word for word, point is, it was very obviously claiming that pro-racial justice groups are trying to take over through terrorism "just like the White Fang"

And I once received a long barrage of anonymous asks from somebody yelling at me that the White Fang arc wasn't at all racist, it was ACKSHULLY a "brave" and "Well written" story the Heroes at Rooster Teeth were telling, admitting to the "Unpopular Truth" that the Black Panthers and BLM were "violent reverse-racist terrorist groups" and he literally sent me like twenty asks vomiting genuine qanon shit into my inbox all about how evil the Black Panthers and BLM are and how the Noble Brave Heroic Rooster Teeth was "speaking truth the rabid SJW's don't want to hear" and "admitting things the Left doesn't want anyone to know" and they were PROUD OF ROOSTER TEETH FOR DOING IT

Meanwhile I *constantly* see people of color in the fndm get shut down, silenced, invalidated, talked over, smeared, harassed, lied about - all because they criticized the racist writing in rwby and particularly the White Fang. Whole ass white Karens will literally shut people of color down and "explain" to them how the White Fang arc couldn't POSSIBLY be racist because *it's not as if the whole story was made up by non-black writers who have histories of racism one of whom literally posted the N-Word on Twitter in fucking 2016 when the show was literally airing it's third season or anything....* /sarcasm Miles Luna did in fact post the N-Word on Twitter as a 26 year old adult in 2016 when RWBY was in it's third season.

And he did once refer to himself as a "White Guy" who didn't know shit about racism

And he and ALL his Rooster Teeth buddies have twenty years of video evidence of Rooster Teeth's content in which they're ALL fucking racist (the vast majority of RWBY's controlling creative team being comprised of Rooster Teeth management and "talent" and therefore having been prominent on-screen members of the team while they all have a grand old racist time togehter)

So yeah the White Fang arc is mind-staggeringly racist ON PAPER, two hundred times worse to watch it play out in execution, written by an openly racist asshole and produce by his Buddies who run an openly racist studio, and adored everywhere by unabashedly racist fans who literally apply the extreme copaganda found in the show to the real life people groups the writers based the White Fang and Faunus on.

It's sick to say the least

#all facts all facts all facts #and dw Anon I know what ur talking about. hell if I find the image I might just include it as propaganda because #just. how do you fuck up an allegory so badly. i think about the fang I want to carve my eyeballs out with rusty scissors #rwby #copaganda clobberfest #propaganda #not a poll #just. BLEUHH all all all around #it’s so annoying how rwby. a show which has genuinely inspired me in terms of its animation in the early volumes #and even still after the sad passing of monty oum (rest in peace btw) #and yet. this storyline is some of the most racist shit I’ve seen in a modern show and every time I think about it it gets worse!!!!!!

okay so I've been binging CSI: Vegas, because I used to watch a ton of CSI as a kid, and it's alright background television but I keep thinking of it as worse NCIS: Hawai'i. I swear I'm not just saying this because NCIS has Lucy/Whistler. Like,

both shows are 2021 spinoffs of long-running CBS procedurals

whose original shows had lily-white main casts but are now clearly trying to be more diverse

boss lady is a woman of color everyone respects and thinks is a badass, she's divorced with at least one kid

there's an asian woman who is the friendly, spunky one, relatively newer while still being on the A-team

more senior white dude agent who is tight with boss lady

unfortunately, csi is a sequel, and is weighed down by its legacy characters (who I mostly like! Grissom was a childhood fave, and I like listening to Sara's accent), and has 10-12 episode seasons which is a hard spot for a procedural. insufficient to care about the newbie's personal drama while dealing with OGs' as well.

....also no Kai with good shirts and T-shirts. No one on NCIS: Vegas has good fashion. No one.

#yes i'm using asian as in the literal continent this is the correct way to use it #yes i am also reviewing cbs procedurals as if i'm a boomer which is the target demographic here #unrelatedly the csi vegas people keep abusing their work privileges in wild ways #jaggedwolf you are watching the copaganda shows why are you surprised by this #no i mean even beyond that #like just randomly running prints on personal cases which i don't remember any of in the original #anyway someone let me into the rooms of CBS i want to know more #oh wait i'm a dumbass who only realized while writing this post that CBS probably has a similar mandate for its scripted content that #it has for reality tv #for reality tv from 2021 onwards they started having a 50% POC contestants rule #must be that though i can't find what the scripted content guidelines are #jaggedwolf rambles #ncis hawaii #csi

5 episodes into Deadloch and this show is so much more fun when it isn't trying to pretend like it's not copaganda like genuinely a really fun mystery and executed super well and then the lib-ish politics of the show keep popping in like "hey fuck the gender binary" and "hey queer people don't murder, we get murdered" and "hey our lead is a lesbian cop" and it's like shut the fuck up already my god. like you're bringing up all these issues you're clearly not gonna fucking reckon with because you can't by the nature of the show unless this ends with cops getting abolished in australia so like what are you doing here, you know? like in the first few minutes of episode 1, the lead lesbian cop finds ACAB spray painted on her neighbor's garbage cans and we just haven't gone anywhere with that, it's not like used to critique the system or anything, and her response is just to get it cleaned up. so like. it's just kinda infuriating.

#james talks #deadloch #Michael Schur did this. B99 is a fun show but jesus lord it has done such irrevocable and incomprehensible damage to shows like this. #like i'm not even saying that shows shouldn't reckon with issues like this. it would be irresponsible NOT to but like oh my god guys. #what is the end goal here? #like truly genuinely what are you planning on achieving with these remarks if not to constantly remind the audience— #that the protags are complicit in the oppression of the people who they've been hired to defend and in reality are ineffective & unnecessary #like they're doing a pretty decent job of showing just how bad & broken the system is and that's like kinda cool but at the end of the day— #it's kinda inherent to the genre to be copaganda and your attempts aren't mitigating it. #they're making it worse bc you keep reminding us how woke you are. #i will say though as far as i am aware (my knowledge extends as far as tertiary facts and Jennifer Kent's The Nightingale)— #the representation of First Nations People/First Australian People and the colonizing Australians is actually pretty well done. #like the racial stuff here IS nuanced and interesting. the rest is... distracting at best. #anyway it's a fun show so far and there's a lot of lesbians in here and it doesn't feel particularly TERFy so far so feel free to watch it #the mystery is genuinely fun. i just don't love the constant 'hey we're so woke guys' reminders #anyway cool that it's a show by women with 3 women leads and a majority queer cast of characters that's talking about land back and stuff #like there is fun to be had here but i know by the nature of it that the buildup can't go anywhere or lead to anything so it's just annoying

Some of the things people on here pass around as Zionist propaganda really makes you guys sound like alt-right assholes.

#I’ve spent too much time learning how those people sound to be comfortable #with how quick you guys are to use very ominous euphemisms #and that sonic post going around like. #there are some iffy connotations around that yeah #but like. Jewish people knowing and mentioning krav maga is not Zionist propaganda #idk I just feel like there’s a difference between American copaganda using judaism to make itself easier to swallow for liberal audiences #and Zionist propaganda
