Greeting

#can you believe we got a White Male protagonist with legitimate Man Pain but instead of being a piece of barely socialized shit#he was empathetic and caring and loved kids and babies and was so consistently kind and gentle with people were scared or hurt#who respected women and was continually delighted when they were smarter or more capable in some area than he was#who  never once in the 5 year run of the series made any indication he thought women owed him any kind of attention or sexual favors#who understood his grumpy partner enough to give her the emotional support *she* needed instead of making stuff about him#idk i just saw this gifset and had a lot of feels about John Reese okay#imagine if this was the baseline for male characters instead of an (not ‘THE’ i know there are other awesome dudes but they’re fucking rare)#exception to the rule#person of interest

you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch
