    Plenty of right-wing toxic masculinity ones out there. Not many actually trying to be funny.

      Right wingers making memes of characters that they had absolutely no idea were making fun of them is one of my least favorite meme genres.

        It’s ok, I’ve met Carrol O’Conner and he pretty much fits the memes well so his legend will live on in truth at least.

            My dad worked in the art department for ‘In the Heat of the Night’. I was an extra on one of the extra long season finales. My dad took me to the police station set and he was there being a racist/mysogynistic fuck.

              Interesting. I had always heard he was actually a really nice guy. Maybe that was just trying to make it look like the guy who played Archie had a heart because Archie had a heart even though he was a right-wing bigot.

                I mean it could have been a momentary thing. Could have just been pissed at something. This was in the south though. So who knows.
