#Thewhitewalker thread -- on why we don't need more copaganda in 2021, among other issues with #Walker. And why we certainly don't need more of Gen Z being trained into defending it, moving from far left to center in the leap of a single TV show.
There's nothing new about the idea of #Walker. Straight white het man relies on the emotional labor of POC and LGBT around him that take second fiddle to his leadering, creating a false moral balance of "duty". #thewhitewalker #Walker
This adds nothing to the conversation in a world already ripe with talk of cop shows having casually endeared us to racism, sexism, and police brutality methods. It could have made the POC the lead. #thewhitewalker #walker
In fact, it went so far as to delete the indigenous heritage of the original--which was poor--instead of improving on its caliber to put a semi-famous white guy in the role, leaning on the ethics of support POCs/LGBTQs waved around as rep. #Thewhitewalker #walker
#Walker could have chosen to make Micki the lead, giving us the perspective of a Latinx officer dealing with a bothsidering white cop and how that's wrong; instead, we get the cop watching her roll her eyes and the occasional topless scene. #thewhitewalker #Walker
You think this is stanning? Common Sense Media gives it 1/5 stars on its representation, listing an unimpressive few support characters as rep points and pointing out most people accused of crimes are latinx #thewhitewalker #walker
Now let's talk about profits: not only does CBS donate primarily to republicans, but Chuck Norris himself gets almost a quarter of the profit, which adds to dozens of millions, and guess where that ends up? #thewhitewalker #walker
Also I have a hard time putting good faith in the well written handling of post-BLM cops in a series where the writers admitted they hadn't a clue about it in 2020 and "learned", sis you're years behind still get more POC writers then get back to me #thewhitewalker #walker
Speaking of the writing, as someone who lived in both metro and yeehaw texas for YEARS, NOBODY TALKS LIKE THIS. NOBODY. NOT RANCHERS, NOBODY. I don't know WHY Jared hasn't commented. Maybe he's too much of a city boy and thinks we talk like this #thewhitewalker #walker
The writing feels like some LA city slicker deciding everybody in Texas has no teeth and gauges time in cow fucking and yodels through church service looking for signs. But because it's TV they're blessed with teeth, graciously. #thewhitewalker #walker
Now let's talk about it advertising on Fox News: if this was really meant to deradicalize MAGA, they'd put it on CBS, which is a more red leaning station. Instead, it's been put on CW, a "progressive" network, with gen Z suddenly rabidly defending cops. #thewhitewalker #walker
Like, I don't know how standom hasn't caught on that it's actually in record time "deradicalized" the left towards center and made them throw their original ACAB points in the paper shredder because of an actor they like. #thewhitewalker #walker
It doesn't only advertise on Fox News, but GUNS AND GARDENS, COWBOYS & IND*ANS and just about ANY OTHER OFFENSIVE THING YOU CAN THINK OF. **DO YOU WANNA WATCH THE SAME TV AS BEN SHAPIRO** DO YOU SEE THE TARGET DEMO #thewhitewalker #walker
All those times they talk over and over about Chuck Norris' blessing because he had the rights? That's money. That's money that goes to someone who posts shit like this on his blog and donates to the GOP #thewhitewalker #walker https://twitter.com/PolychromeKoys/status/1348920582948188161
More on the things Chuck Norris who will make substantial profit posts--racism protests are as bad as racism to him, I guess: #thewhitewalker #walker https://twitter.com/PolychromeKoys/status/1348922482099703808
Yup, this man will profit from your views, then donate it to the GOP #thewhitewalker #walker https://twitter.com/PolychromeKoys/status/1348924801444937728
Stay woke, help Norris donate to anti-choice causes and try to overturn Roe v Wade? http://VeryProgressive.meme here folks; think about where your #Walker views go #thewhitewalker https://twitter.com/PolychromeKoys/status/1348926023182807048
"But the show has a gay brother!!!" yeah okay enjoy funding this shit. And I can't even FIND the Q-style babble from his Ammoland blog but I'm sure @PolychromeKoys could, they posted it before. #walker #thewhitewalker https://twitter.com/PolychromeKoys/status/1348928210910801920
Oh, by the way, did you know Texas Rangers are inherently racist? That's why they started taking down statues when the confederate ones came down too? And Chuck Norris also protested THAT? #thewhitewalker #walker https://www.texastribune.org/2020/08/15/texas-rangers-racist-violent-history/
So now let's get to the writing: He read about an ICE agent putting a kid in a cage and thought his struggle of "duty" was interesting, instead of the kid.
He could have:
Made a story humanizing immigrants from their POV
Made Micki the lead. #thewhitewalker #walker

I can not emphasize enough that this show adds nothing new to the discussion, just continues to valorize the bare minimum #thewhitewalker #walker
Anyway if you're finding this thread/push for the first time from this thread, donate to RAICES, we've raised over $3,600 for them so far. Puuuush #thewhitewalker #walker https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/3102602
