just to clarify, though the ron swonson performative masculinity is definitely worth an eye-roll, i just thought it would be funny to imagine if the decrease in interest in parks and rec was analogous to the decrease in interest in harry potter (which i think turns a lot on rowlings anti-trans comments); and so, if offerman, who developed this sort of self-conscious, winking masculinity (which, again, though worth an eye-roll, is, to my mind, very open to trans identity (anyone can do wood working, anyone can like bacon, regardless of biological sex)), suddenly married this to a very reactionary and bigoted insistence that all men had to be biological masculine.
40% Hollywood Lib, 40% Midwest Democrat, 20% Broseph. For example, he will say: everyone should learn how to woodwork. Why? Because then you feel like a man and you don't have to shop at Ikea. Which he admits is a good company. So, if every dude learned how to woodwork then you wouldn't spend so much money on cheap shit from Ikea, which is a very good company, and be super manly by proxy.
Statements like this make a lot of Libs :liberalism: because they think this will breakthrough to their shithead chud relatives.
In reality we know he should be saying the most correct thing which is: everyone should learn how to woodwork so we can make batons and beat the managers at Ikea until they give us the keys to the warehouse.
pretty sad to see nick offerman keep insisting that the only way to be a man is to do woodworking, cook bacon, and be born with a penis, tbqh.

isn't offerman actually reasonably good irl? not an expert on this, but that's just what I sort of remember.
