Season 4 Suffering From The Creep of Social Justice Peacocking

Nah.

I noticed it with the buying guns scene

I am so very glad that someone else pointed this out. The worst was when Jake was talking about Ace Ventura and he had to throw in the transphobic line. I literally rolled my eyes when he said it. It sounded like a writer's line to show how PC they are. It bugged the living *beep* out of me. It just didn't sound like something a person would say.

Just watched all the season 4 episodes tonight and agree with you. Very distracting from an othwise ok show.

Social Justice Peacocking ruining the show? Seems a bit ridiculous to single it out. I admit it has been noticeably stronger this season, but it's an unavoidable evil during an election year with most ALL primetime shows. Everyone has a political opinion, including sitcom writers. And they just can't resist the urge to incorporate them into their daytime job.

I admit it's annoying, but I'm not so caught up in my own beliefs that I let it distract me from the show's main purpose (which is to make me laugh). If it bothers you that much, then I would assume it's because things you don't necessarily believe are being shoved down your throat. In that case, tough break....And get used to it. ?

Oh geez, I will never understand the current generation, that acts as if the sky is falling, whenever someone says: "Y'know, you shouldn't be an *beep* They act so tough, because they are "anti-PC", but start crying for safe spaces as soon as they see someone act like a decent human being on TV.



"Am I the only one who sees the giant monkey!?"

Have you only just noticed that Brooklyn Nine Nine is a progressive show? It has been since the very beginning. It is distinctly feminist and inclusive.

And it's not peacocking, mate, they're not showing off. Some of us just actually believe in civil rights movements. It's what puts this show so far above so many other sitcoms (How I Met Your Mother comes to mind) which use outdated stereotypes and tropes.

Anyway, I'm not gonna argue with you beyond this, but Brooklyn Nine Nine has always been a progressive show and will continue to be in what are very backward-facing times. Listen to it rather than immediately rejecting it as 'social justice peacocking'.

B99 is generally a progressive show to begin with. Most of the characters are latino or black. There are 3 white men, one is a self described beta male, the other two are grotesque & idiotic bit characters everyone is supposed to laugh at for being who they are. You might consider Jake white but he's also latino, so not exactly WASPy, and Samberg himself is Jewish.
