I'm done with Dropout
I tolerated the cast being pro-chiropractor, even though everyone knows that is an awful profession that slanders doctors. I bit my tongue when they had the AUDACITY to have a Linked-in sponsor to pay Jacob $100,000 dollars. I did my part and complained on Reddit when Copoganda happened. But now? They have an actual, god forsaken REPUBLICAN on my platform? And give them a place to share their opinions? And not redeem them like the last pig they had on? One that openly admits to voting for Donald Trump? I'm done. I am going to have to log out of my friend's account once and for all. This is a line I cannot cross.

Rookie X Dropout: A Black Fan’s Nuanced Response
Hey y’all I’m a Black Mod (they/them) of a Dropout Facebook Fangroup who posted this a couple days ago and was asked a few times to post my take here, so here it is: “As a lover of all things Dropout who is also Black, I can’t lie and say I’m not a tad disheartened by not only their decision to partner with “The Rookie”, but also the direction of the discourse I’ve witnessed in multiple Dropout FanGroups including this one. I am told this will be one of the final posts allowed on the topic in this space (Samposting), so let this act as a discourse autopsy of sorts. I recognize that this is a nuanced discussion and as we all know, the internet is where nuance goes to die, but here is my nuanced (as possible) take on the matter. Though I speak AS a Black Dropout Fan I by no means speak for ALL Black dropout fans. While I don’t have the lived experience as the CEO of a groundbreaking independent comedy streaming service, I can grasp what must be the complex realities of navigating constantly shifting entertainment, economic and political landscapes, and respect the necessities of “growing pains” while courting larger audiences and brand partnerships therefore providing larger budgets to fund these (well deserved) artists creative visions, and also their rapidly increasing costs of living. What I DO have is the lived experience as a Black person who is hyper aware of the dangers in laundering the image of an overly militarized police force that disproportionately targets Black people, like myself and the people I love most in this world. A militarized police force in an increasingly funded police state that relies on the manufactured consent of the public in its appeals for multiple billions of dollars to expand its systemic genocidal Antiblack enterprise of weaponry, surveillance, enslavement, and state sanctioned murder. An overly militarized police force that also is actively collaborating with ICE in its fascistic mass deportation ethnic cleansing project. I also don’t live terribly far from one of America’s “cop cities”, mass funded and built after the uprisings of 2020 resulting in the wake of the public lynching of George Floyd by police, in order to train officers in IDF tactics to violently quell dissent. During 2020 I remember, in the midst of mass Black trauma, being heartened by Dropout’s Dimension20 interrupting their weekly scheduled YouTube broadcast of “A Crown of Candy” to fundraise for Black aligned resistance orgs, and platformed activists on the subject. I remember the shared reaction I had with a Black D20 cast member when it was revealed that a prominent character switched professions during a Live show, to better align with the show’s & network’s ACAB ethos. Which is why I find it a bit jarring to see this recent collab. Though I haven’t seen The Rookie (and to be honest don’t particularly have any plans to partake), I have read from comments of those who have that it isn’t “like C.O.P.S” or “more harmful” procedurals. Though that’s not necessarily comforting, as shows highlighting the myth of the “Good” Cop do more rehabilitation of policing’s image than “gritty” ones. It’s why cops are so invested to share “feel good” videos of them offering Black Children Ice Cream or playing a pick-up game of Basketball with Black Children, or taking photo-ops while hugging crying Black children (one of the most famous images in this category being of Deonte Hart and his “free hugs” sign at a police protest, who was failed by the exact system that image still launders when he was later murdered by his white adoptive parents who drove him and his siblings off a cliff). The uptick in dispersal of this content is most prominent when the blood of Black People slain by police hasn’t dried yet in the streets. And while I don’t see myself ending my subscription to Dropout anytime soon nor am I encouraging anyone else to do so, and I am certain that whatever this collaboration ends up looking like the Dropout cast will add their signature subversive flair, comedically thwarting or stalling the investigation in some hilarious way, you’ll understand if I’m less jazzed about the entire affair than I have been at other announcements. I’m also not terribly stoked to see the dismissal and apathy displayed in the comment sections of posts regarding the collab, where noticeably privileged voices are laughing off legitimate concern and dismay regarding the destructive nature of cops, copaganda and Dropout’s brand being in any way associated with them. Y’all’s complete and utter disregard for the lack of safety afforded to Black members of society and in this fandom specifically. The flippancy, sarcasm, and refusal to reflect on the generational trauma inflicted on Black people by the white supremacist capitalistic enterprise of policing we’ve collectively endured since their inception in this nation as “slave patrols”…Black fans are witnessing your calloused comments, laugh reacts, and blatant white egocentrism. It is truly okay to find this decision upsetting, and if you don’t find this decision upsetting, take time to understand and empathize with the people who do. While these spaces are no stranger to white “allies” who are far more interested in taking up space and being the moral authority of any and every oppression while silencing those who are directly impacted, to respond to all pushback with disdain is harmful, and enables spaces where Black safety is dismissed altogether. I know this is a long read, but I’m trying my best to weigh in with the full gravity necessary. It’s been really, truly, disappointing in these spaces y’all, and that’s something worth reflection moving forward in how y’all regard topics of this nature. Let’s also be mindful of the emotional and intellectual labor we are requiring of Black people at this time, because this is exhausting. Please do better.” submitted by /u/KoochieKoochieKu to r/dropout [link] [comments]

Dropout.tv crosses over with ABC's The Rookie. Has our lord and savior Sam Reich fallen to copaganda? Find out more this Monday at 10/9c on r/Dropout
Dropout Background paragraph for Dropout stolen from this previous post The streaming service Dropout originated from the long-running comedy site CollegeHumor, which was founded in 1999 by Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen. In September 2018, CollegeHumor launched Dropout as a subscription, ad-free streaming platform focused on original comedy content, transitioning away from the ad-driven model of its predecessor. In 2020, performer and CollegeHumor alumnus Sam Reich purchased the company from its previous owner IAC, steering the platform into a leaner, creator-driven business model built on subscriber support rather than massive scale advertising. Under Sam Reich, the company fully rebranded to Dropout, focusing on comedy game shows, improve, and tabletop role-playing series (specifically, Dimension 20), carving out a niche in an otherwise crowded streaming ecosystem. Over time, Dropout has become known for its leftist political lean, which will become relevant later. The Rookie The Rookie on ABC is a cop show starring Nathan Fillion which is known for its many references to online subcultures. It's also sponsored by the LAPD, and is steeped in the same tropes that all copaganda shows have. Drama A trailer for a crossover between The Rookie and Dropout recently released and it has caused a stir in the r/Dropout subreddit. Thread 1 Thread 2 Editor's Note: Thread 2 is significantly more dramatic but also significantly harder to highlight. Many of the threads I've highlighted there go on for a while, highly recommend scrolling through yourself. Thread 1 Highlights For the record, The Rookie is a co-production with the LAPD that uses it as a recruitment ad. https://www.spyculture.com/abcs-the-rookie-made-by-the-lapd/ It is to the LAPD what the Transformers cartoons are for Hasbro. Thanks I find it wild how deep I had to go before somebody calling this out as Copaganda. I thought we were leftists here. Most people know its copaganda and also that most american movies and tv shows are propogandized. Stop the no true scotsman Looking forward to this! Nathan Fillion is an OG figure in nerd-dom! I'm begging y'all to use the brains God gave you to separate reality from fiction. nah if it was a crossover with a superhero property you can start talking about separating reality from fiction. Police procedurals exist within a political space more than most other shows. The whole premise of the genre is that the world is a scary place where we need The Police to protect us and how hard things are for them. Superhero properties clearly operate within a world distinct from our own. Police procedurals take place in "the real world" and often base episodes on true stories. They tend to implicitly or explicitly push narratives about class and race on an episodic basis. I haven't seen the show so I want to trust Sam but I had seen clips before this and was already under the impression that it was pretty cop worshippy to the extent that it was a demerit toward Fillion for me, who I wasn't super familiar with before Superman. Even if it's the most progressive cop show in existence, they've got to understand that the optics for this are terrible especially right now. Really feels like a deal with the devil type situation, for whatever Sam feels like they're getting out of this. People are downvoting you despite this community claiming to be leftist, but seem to be acting liberal. Police procedures are some of the most effective and dangerous propaganda specifically because people refuse to recognize them as such--instead calling them harmless fun distinct from reality. While I do think Sam is smart and has his reasons, I don't like seeing Dropout working with blatant copaganda. Excuse me, the Dropout cast are my friends. Every time I laugh at one of their classic bits I understand them as people more and more and make me proud to enjoy their shows. When you criticize their decision to engage in copaganda - copaganda that is the good kind mind you because it says policing has bad apples, and we just need to weed those out and then cops will no longer be bastards - you are also criticizing them directly and my friendship with them. I'm so upset by this that I need you, and everybody in the Dropout community, to stop criticizing this decision to work with a show made in tandem with the LAPD. I deserve to not only enjoy the media I consume unchallenged, but I also deserve to not have to read a speck of criticism when I go into a thread talking about ICE collaborators whitewashing themselves through a show which is using my close friends to help further clean up their image. Nope. ACAB. Purity tests help no one. ACAB includes whatever fuckin cop you're related to, too. Fuck em. I'm glad this crossover is what will finally weed out some of the chronically online folk from the Dropout fandom. * "Chronically online" for people to be upset that a company that sells Bud Cubby "laws are threats" merch to be doing a crossover with a show that literally is co-sponsored by the LAPD? Who had voices from Black Lives Matters on to talk with Brennan? ok sure * Were you equally upset when they had a former United States Secretary of Labor on their shows? Because that dude is absolutely part of the "dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation" that makes said laws. Editor's Note: This is a reference to this bit from Dimension 20 This feels like a very strange business decision. Sam has to know this will open up some backlash to him/the company, and I can’t really imagine that the benefit of reaching the audience of the Rookie is worth that lmao. I feel like the last 10ish minutes of his interview with Hank Green awhile back kind of speaks to this pretty well in terms of negotiating how to run a business effectively when you have a fanbase that is going to endlessly purity test him and Dropout for any perceived slight. https://youtu.be/BhiqAttMqck?t=3032&si=oCpHIWsXFP66hIrb * People here are really overestimating how terminally online the Dropout subscribers are. Yes, there's a lot of very passionate fans who are going to be annoyed by this, just like there were people annoyed by Sam refusing to issue a company statement about Israel. But that's simply not a majority opinion. God I can't fucking wait to hear when someone eventually asks BLeeM and Beardsley their thoughts on this. Surely it's caused a rift already, right? This is such a fucking cop out (lol) just to get more media attention, I'd be gobsmacked to find out either of them are like, happy about this Surely it's caused a rift already, right Or maybe during this process Sam had very real conversations with his very real friends and employees. Stop getting annoyed on behalf of others - this is exactly why people think Dropout fans are too parasocial. I'm not getting annoyed on behalf of others, I'm pissed off that a company that has previously championed progressive values is partnering with a Copaganda slop show despite the fact LAPD and cops as whole continue to brutalize people in this country egregiously every day And I was of the understanding that BLeeM and Beardsley were of the same opinion, and I'll be deeply disheartened if I find out that two people I greatly look up too might have wavered in their moral stance against corrupt systems of power Thread 2 Highlights I feel like I already know exactly how this discourse will play out so I just want to note in advance that I find it all really unserious. You find it really unserious for people to be unhappy a service that built a good deal of its reputation on being openly leftist is doing copaganda? being openly leftist They charge a subscription fee lol Do you think you can't be leftist and have a job? Do you think a for-profit entity can be leftist? I’d consider myself extremely progressive and left wing, and even I’m rolling my eyes at how dogmatic some of the takes are here. “Purity tests” that are so extreme as to be unachievable are why we never gets anything done. If someone isn’t utterly perfect, then they are utter wrong and must be shouted down. What does this get done? What is achieved here? Like let’s be realistic, after Brennan called Hasan Piker “the one who lifts weights in Omelas” and a “Sin eater” I started to realize these guys are really just a bunch of nepo-babies circle jerking each other; his whole spiel about the origins of the short story were completely off as well, Le Guin wrote it as a response to William James’ work on ethics “The Moral Philosopher, and the Moral life” Hasan lives like the rest of us do, quite comfortably at the expense of the vulnerable. These guys don’t actually know what they’re talking about and they’re fooling you into thinking watching them contributes to the world in a meaningful way. You seem like an absolutely miserable person. I mean, obviously Sam, Anna, Vic, Zac, and Jacob are fine with this. It's not like I'm going to stop subscribing to them, so who cares? Notice how you didn’t list a single Black actor there? ...are you asking why you should think for yourself? Not thinking for yourself is different than trusting the judgement of others. And no, they asked, “Who cares?” To me the comment has a heavy parasocial tone of "If it's fine with these comedians I watch then it's fine with me!" * That’s some heavy reaching with “heavy parasocial tone” for what seems like a pretty benign comment. I don’t really feel the need to make assumptions on what people mean when they say things, but Sam and the gang seem pretty clearly left-leaning. I would wager most of them share a lot of beliefs with a lot of the viewers. If someone with similar beliefs and a better understanding of the situation is okay with it, along with it being a nonstarter to begin with, who cares seems appropriate to me Edit: hey random person, you don’t need to take the time to reply to me if you’re going to block me. Classic lol I fucking hate pigs and the things I'd do to real-life cops would get me banned on most platform, but "copaganda" accusations is such a weak generalization that doesn't allow nuance in media. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was genuinely one of the funniest, wokest, most sincere comedy show ever, and people screaming "copaganda" over and over about it ended up killing it. That’s exactly why it was copaganda. The whole “cops are just normal funny people trying their best to help the community” is the propaganda they are selling you. Just because you like cast doesn’t mean they aren’t creating a narrative about policing in this country. Very disappointed by Sam for green lighting this and will be seriously reconsidering my subscription It trusted its audience is smart enough to be able to separate real, harmful copaganda whitewashing the institution vs just a comedy show that happens to be set in a police precinct while at the same time doesn't shy away from the darker realities of it. People need to stop making it seem like we progressives are dumb enough to be swayed by entertainment that we forget the actual, real important stuff to stand up for. You are clearly dumb because you can’t separate the aspects because that’s what makes the normalization work. Just admit you like the show and don’t care about the copaganda stuff, it’s less embarrassing than whatever you’re doing right now. I've seen all of Brooklyn 99 multiple times and every episode of The Rookie, and I'm a police abolitionist, so I guess I just have a really powerful brain? What does “political abolitionist” even mean? It means you misread my comment Lol I gave you more grace than I should have, your comment is just you admitting to you’re a hypocrite If I can pretend dragons exist, I can pretend that cops are helpful members of society Yeah I think what these comments prove is that pretty much all of the DropOut fandom is good with propaganda, as long as it has the actors THEY like God what an insufferable and condescending non-respinse to th commenter's effective argument. Your beloved queer progressive improv artists put their careers above their values. Cope LMAO ok bud. I actually just call them artists, their sexuality and politics don't describe them. Cheers I can't point out that the dropout cast is largely queer and progressive, and that they are largely outspoken about these identities and values? I can't point out that that is an essential and deliberate part of dropout branding? A deliberate part of their brand they have now actively undermined? With peace and love...if your opinion on real life cops is at all impacted by a fictitious tv show I think you have bigger problems. This is like me believing that there is a forest in England where bears wear little red t-shirts because the Winnie The Pooh movie told me that. you are not immune to propaganda True but one singular episode of tv is not going to boil my brain. Do you honestly think that this one episode of The Rookie is going to make viewers who know it's copaganda like the police? …yes. That’s how propaganda works. Human minds are malleable as fuck Great, so there's a couple of things you can do about this. 1, you can unsubscribe from Dropout. 2, you can just not watch this one (1) episode of a copaganda show (this is what I'm going to do). 3, you can piss the entire fuck off, and perhaps, just maybe, touch some grass as well. I hope you decide to do one, or more, of these things, and especially hope that being this chronically online works out for you. Bye bye! Sorry your fav friendly queer progressive comedians aren't living their values like you'd hope. But telling everyone they're overreacting will definitely help you reconcile with that Editor's Note: If anyone has suggestions for formatting these sorts of quotes let me know.

Am I just a pervert, or does anyone else ever wonder how messy the dropout dating scene was/is?
This is absolutely none of my business, they're humans living their own lives, but listen. I am only human, too. And there are times during these shows where I am so terminally ill with curiosity. I mean come on, they gathered all these weird, hot, and queer comedians into one studio and you're telling me nothing happens ?? All these theater kids, neurodivergent folk, and the generally sexually repressed are all normal and platonic about it ?? Hell no!!! The early days intrigue me, but even now as people are getting progressively more married there's still bits of info here and there. There's an open relationship, there's Grant O'Brien, someone said Siobhan Thompson was dating joss whedon ? Which, I don't think I even believe. Mostly I still feel fairly creepy, they probably aren't all just Sam's imaginary friends after all. It's hard not to wonder sometimes, though. submitted by /u/plumander to r/dropoutcirclejerk [link] [comments]

Why I'm Cancelling Dropout
I could overlook... Dropout emailing each other that OJ is innocent Sam saying food service workers are not legitimate jobs Lisa Gilroy being forced to call Sam "daddy" Grant interrupting Demi to say the n-word Vic not letting Denzel live in their guest house But Trapp saying we shouldn't use bagels for breakfast sandwiches is too far.
