Biiiiiiiiiig stretch to bring fiction Copaganda and real police at pride together.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really? It's all coming from the same place, to make everyone think that policy are friendly and here to help you, when they're here to protect the capitalist class. Make them seem approachable on TV as sympathetic characters. Make them do PR, like painting their face with a rainbow at pride. Then they can beat and murder gay people and use the tv passively (population is primed) and the PR actively (remember how we were awesome at pride, just like on that show you like??) to defend themselves when rightly accused.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess gay cops should all just go ahead an off themselves then since you already don't like them in fiction huh?

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to say, does OP really think there are no gay cops, or...?

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but 1) they should quit. all cops should quit, but queer cops especially should take a real hard look around at what they're participating in, and quit. Or they could stand up to the system they're participating in and get blackballed/fired, but they might also get fucking murdered, so on the whole, out of a respect for human life, I recommend that they just quit.

2) the fact that some gay cops really do exist doesn't make it not an aggravating and insidious trope to see over and over in media.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah they should quit. And blue voters should leave red states. And all blacks should move to Africa.

[(Anonymous)]

One of these things is not like the others.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Also, gay cops can be homophobic assholes and participate in and help perpetuate a homophobic (and more) system.

There are no good cops. They all get killed or fired.

[(Anonymous)]

Laughing at the Palestinian flags right next to the pride flags. Talk about a mental disconnect.

[(Anonymous)]

I always wonder... if those people are really queer, and visibly so, if they had to pick one country in the Middle East to live, which one would it be? Something tells me it would be one where women are not executed for adultery, and gays for just existing.

[(Anonymous)]

>Something tells me it would be one where women are not executed for adultery, and gays for just existing.

So in a dream world.

[(Anonymous)]

Come the fuck on

[(Anonymous)]

??? This is such a confusing statement. Someone who cares about their country and wants it to be a better place is ALSO gay. So unrealistic.

Oh wait...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, pretty sure this is not a pride parade in Palestine.

[(Anonymous)]

I think this needs more context.
In you country as in "I'm not living in the USA (= homophobic country with homophobic laws and/or cops)" or "I live in a country in the USA ( = police brutality/gaybashing by USA cops)" GOD North America is so confusing to me help

If you're not living in North America (USA specifically), do you see gay copaganda in American shows or your own country's show?

Because I live in a homophobic country and I'm utterly indifferent when I see queer USA/AUS/UK/etc police person. I just don't care. It's like, worlds apart. America and gay police is fiction. It has no bearing to me IRL.

I'm interest in other POV.

[(Anonymous)]

This secret is the epitome of first world problems. That moment when someone is mad that police shows up at pride and thus supports gay rights... just no words.

[(Anonymous)]

Because they don't actually support LGBT+ rights. It is just corporate pinkwashing.

[(Anonymous)]

TIL I learned fear of police brutality is a first world problem.

Seriously, you're an asshole.

[sabotabby]

I mean, it’s perfectly legal to be gay where I live. Gay people can get married and have kids. Gay people can be cops. This has been the case for a long time.

But cops also raid gay spaces. They sexually assault trans sex workers. When there was a serial killer a few years ago preying on racialized gay men in the gay village, many gay people went to the cops with their suspicions and were laughed away. They publicly said that there was no serial killer even though any reasonable civilian would have noticed that a whole bunch of gay men who all looked kind of similar were going missing. It took one of the victims escaping and surviving to catch the guy, who turned out to be someone that the cops had known about.

So when I see a fictional gay cop who goes to bat for queer rights on TV, I do think it’s gross and weird, since they do exist IRL but none of them stand up for the actual community. Except of course for when it’s Pride and they think they can slather on a thick layer of pink washing and have us all forget the last time they brutally raided one of our safe spaces.

It’s not the hugest problem in the world for sure, but people can be angry about more than one thing, and this is a community for people’s silly complaints and opinions about fandom things.

On one hand I don't like this trope. On the other it's really such a first world problem. I wish our copoganda showed gay cop people.

[(Anonymous)]

Nobody on fandomsecrets should be complaining about "first world problems." We have the luxury of discussing fandom and its problems in our spare time. If you can be on fandomsecrets, you have first world problems.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a bad take, man. Being into media and having some access to internet doesn't make country from the first world.
Also I am not against OP's secret, I just have conflicted feelings about it.
