The guy who played Ron has spent every year since the show ended on an extended "I'm ashamed for being white and male" apology tour.

His level of cuckholdry is only rivaled by Bill Burr.

If he met and assfucked Bill Burr the universe would collapse and die from the sheer force of the faggotry.

Didn't the indian guy from this show rape someone?
 
It suffered from Flanderization more than any show I've ever seen. Over time, the characters lost almost all depth and complexity and became so one-sided that pretty much every one could be summarized in a handful of words. The early episodes were funny, though.
 
It was an overly twee and lighter-than-air sitcom, ostensibly a political satire but didn't have much to say in that regard beyond "people are zany". The writers clearly had difficulty deciding whether Leslie Knope should be laughed at or celebrated, and eventually they settled on the latter. The show in general is a dated artifact hopelessly rooted in the Obama era, and it was entirely fitting that Poehler got back into character one last time to post a "We will overcome" message from Knope after Trump won the 2016 election.

Ron Swanson as a character was written as a critique of the particular type of "libertarian conservatism" that was in vogue during the Obama years. If the character were intended as a critique of that sort of consumerist bespoke Manliness™ he somewhat embodied, that really took off in the late 2000s and early 2010s, that would be fine; an adult who proudly refuses to eat vegetables and spergs out over bacon and Scotch, etc. He was the breakout character though, because he was likable compared to the other characters, all of little more than delivery vehicles for the writers' obnoxious snarky lines. Swanson ended up being a figurehead of the curated artisanal manhood movement in real life, of the sort that was embraced by nerds who posted to Reddit about how manly it was to eat bacon and wear flannel shirts and make a fussy ritual out of shaving with a straight razor - he was no doubt responsible for millions of dollars in sales of bacon-scented perfume and beard wax.
 
Ill be for real, or for shizzle if you will. I can look past all of the actors personal beliefs on this one because the show genuinely makes me laugh. I still cant watch tom cruise tho, scientology and litigious nature are to much for me.
When the show is their personal beliefs on the screen, there is no ignoring the artist for the sake of the art.
