I don’t watch HBO or whatever it’s hosted on and seems to hate it, and I’m barely online enough to understand half of what they spew into the air

Bold of you to assume Ted Lasso viewers are capable of answering your question

Hollywood is the entertainment division of the Pentagon, so what else does anyone expect?

It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may

Letterkenny is probably okay.

“We don’t practice violence”

“We do”

Is just the perfect exchange when talking about Nazis in society.

Yeah I’d say it’s fascist in the Phil Greaves sense and not many others.

Letterkenny is one of those shows that works better as 3 minuet segments than as the full episodes it actually is.

Hey I learned how to do the “dragged by the hair” stunt back… uh… I actually have no idea. But I know how to do it!

Eh, I haven’t seen this show but I don’t give lib media much credit for saying “punch (blatant) Nazis!” It’s pretty easy to advocate for punching people with literal swastika tattoos, everyone hates them (unless they’re in Ukraine). Thing is they’re fine with fascist behavior when it had the cloak of western liberalism over it.

It’s like a dude who gets really agro about how he wants to murder pedophiles but then doesn’t give a shit about his guy friend creeping on barely legal girls at punk shows. Yeah it’s easy to hate the guys who literally yank elementary school girls into white panels vans bro, everyone gets that’s wrong.

Ted LaSSo is inspired by university of michigan (aka scUM) head football coach and cheater and fraud, Jim Harbaugh. Fascist are well known for cheating and lying, especially in matters of sport, so by association, Ted LaSSo is a fascist.

Hexbear told me Ted Lasso is a manic pixie dream guy, which is what I suspected given Apple’s brand image, which is why I refused to watch it despite my liberal peers insisting that I do as an antidote to toxic masculinity.

Severance on AppleTV is the weird outlier of all those shows, its bleak in its depiction of work culture.
