Offerman is becoming more and more a chad in my eyes and that love story was really really good and its coming from someone who really hates comedy and romance genre but gotta say it was really good.

Nick Offerman has always been Cool and Good
Also good and cool
When did "a Chad" become a positive term? From my experince growing up it was a mid-west term for rich city kids, and then later on the internet it became a red piller/incel term for "Alpha male".
Is this one of those "taking it back" and owning it things to take power away from red pillers & incels?
Nick Offerman:
I've enjoyed the hell out of his content. I loved it when ~~Adam Savage~~ This Old House did a shop tour with him. I've also listened to his Twain's Feast audiobook and enjoyed the hell out of that. The historical journey through American regional cuisine was amazing. And how much we've actually lost is even more amazing.
I think it's just more ironic than "taking it back". I don't think anyone worth respecting would call themselves "a Chad".
So in context for this, a dude doubling down on his gay love story is certainly not what an incel would attribute to "a Chad", but the rest of us could look at Nick Offerman and say "damn, I respect the hell out of that guy, what a Chad".
In my extended friend group we use Chad as a comedyish thing to call someone when they do something cool/good or perceived as cool/good but we mean it. While someone calling themselves a Chad in a non self deprecating way is usually a dbag.
The episode was directed by the same guy who directed all of "It's a Sin", another incredible bit of telly.
It was my favorite episode. It was a beautiful story.
God I love that man
I think the Last of Us demonstrates the difference between writing a story around the character vs the sort of crap in other shows where inclusivity is more like a box ticking exercise and a casting quota.
Stop acknowledging it, Nick. Embody Ron Swanson at Home Depot for just a moment. Some internet freak is complaining about the Frank/Bill episode of TLOU? Is breathing life into their argument by acknowledging it above or below Ron Swanson's pay grade? Does he in fact "know more than you"?
I didn't even finish the first season but this was the only episode I liked. It's not the love story that I liked about it though.
