Man who owns business does new thing to promote business.
The trades go mental to paint the ‘internet’s’ reaction as ‘going mental’.
Maybe let Sam do his thing and focus on the world being on fire instead.
You know… prioritise.

Copaganda backlash… It’s just a tv show, you silly pearl clutchers.

Gen Z activists really need to get over this “copaganda” bullshit narrative.
If you want to have police forces that treat people fairly and respectfully and do right by their communities, part of that comes from good people wanting to get into policing in the first place. And part of *that* comes from having some media that depicts policing in a positive light. If cops have to always be depicted as the bad guys, only bad guys are going to be cops.

If copaganda shows weren’t extremely popular, then there wouldn’t be 5,000 cop shows on TV. It is good marketing for dropout to reach a boarder audience. Like it or not, dropout relies on subscriptions to make the shows you like. If they get any more views or subscriptions, it’ll be worth it.
Also, this is just fucking stupid. Stop being parasocial, it was good exposure for everyone. I don’t think anyone would’ve cared if they went on Brooklyn 99 (yes, that’s still copaganda).

As a fan of The Rookie, I enjoyed it. It’s not like the show is some typical glorification of cops show like some are.

Drop out fans continue to prove themselves to be exactly what they’re stereotyped as lmao.

Thing about “copaganda” is that it’s been so lazily / overly used by this point that it’s basically become a synonym for “cop show” used by people who don’t like cop shows and want to feel self-righteous about it. I mean, I have genuinely seen people unironically refer to *The Wire* of all things as “copaganda”, purely because it occasionally depicts the police as complex nuanced individuals who have some positive elements rather than one-dimensional soul-drinking demons who exist for no other purpose than to do evil and kill the innocent.
Like, the thing it describes exists, fine, but the word itself has been drained of all meaning by this point.

All this talk about Copaganda meanwhile every clip I’ve seen is just painful to watch.

The Rookie is 100% Copaganda but it’s so fucking goofy that it’s almost impossible to take it seriously. Iirc one episode had a bunch of LAPD cops doing an unsanctioned special ops raid on another country to save their pregnant coworker from having her baby stolen by a cartel boss, pulled it off, then just never got… you know… arrested for doing something that illegal.
Seriously the show is insane, if one of the new Rookies ended up being a velociraptor I’d not even bat an eyelid.

I doubt many people object to the rookie enough to stop watching dropout over this, but I also can’t see this gaining them much. Like the rookie’s audience is bored parents and boomers, and I can’t really see people in either group going “wow! this quirky game show looks good enough to get a new subscription service just for it and stuff like it!” Like whats the overlap here? seems like a zero sum game, at best.
