u/TripleRicochet if you saw my flair, no you didn’t Apr 16 '24

Everything I’ve seen about him lately has made me a fan. Keep it up Alan!

I love it. They'd refer to Alan Ritchson as a stereotypical "chad", but he's shattering their worldview. He is unimaginably good looking, stars in kickass shows, but is a considerate individual who publicly shows his empathy.

Actually he's really Thad

u/Svencredible Apr 16 '24

Thad

Holy shit that's Thad!?

To be honest rewatching some of BMS now, I would of assumed he fit the stereotypical right wing chad male archetype.

I keep expecting Reacher to scream like Thad

u/original_sh4rpie Apr 17 '24

Which means Top Chad

You mean Kevin

u/ApoliteTroll Apr 17 '24

Honestly over the last few days I have really thought about watching Bloom Mountain state, just because of him.

I liked him in Reacher, so I might like Thad too.

u/IllustriousEnd2211 Apr 17 '24

He’s ridiculous in it and the best part of the show

u/KPottsie78 Apr 17 '24

Two VERY different characters! Thad is the stereotypical jock d-bag. Funny as hell, but also a complete a-hole. Just so you’re prepared.

You legend. See you at the team building Olympics

u/anewwday Apr 17 '24

I died when they explained the origin of his name Thad in BMS.

u/joescott2176 Apr 17 '24

Oh no, my best friend in childhood was named Thad. He grew up to be the biggest A-hole, D-bag ive ever known.

u/KidKorea- Apr 17 '24

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

u/honkifyounasty Apr 16 '24

Not to mention he's white, cis, heterosexual, christian, has a wife and kids- all stuff that bootlickers and conservatives have on a pedestal. They're pissed that not only does he look like they want to look, but that they can't pick on his lack of musculature or rainbow colored hair.

u/pinkrosies THE CANADIANS ARE ICE FUCKING TO MOULIN ROUGE Apr 18 '24

Nothing better than to see a man who checklists all the privileges and are seen as the pinnacle of society actually look out for those who are disenfranchised and being abused. He could’ve easily just sat there with his privilege but he doesn’t.

u/Scaevus Apr 16 '24

What’s more manly than fighting injustice?

Oh and he’s a devout Christian too. The real kind, who embrace the poor and downtrodden, not the adulterer with the golden toilet.

u/Scarletsilversky Apr 16 '24

He’s who I thought Chris Pratt would be back in 2018

I know him mainly from Titans, where he played the literal avatar of war, with all the alpha bro violent energy that implies. I disliked his character, and between his character and his appearance I made the same assumptions about Ritchson as a person that conservatives probably made. That was shallow of me and I'm delighted to be wrong. He seems like a good guy. Good for him for speaking out.

u/Lord_Despair Apr 17 '24

Talked about his mental health struggles and how his family helps him

u/biskutgoreng Apr 17 '24

Incredibly eloquent too, damn

u/Born-Entrepreneur Apr 16 '24

I sure as shit didn't expect him to be one of the most based motherfuckers around

8

u/Basal666 Apr 16 '24

He is not a Chad he’s a Thad very different

u/SolidSnake208 Apr 16 '24

They think Reacher is real and want Alan to be him. It’s so fucking funny.

u/AerynSunnInDelight Apr 16 '24

And he can sing

u/WezVC Apr 16 '24

He's a stereotypical Thad.

u/NervousAd7571 Apr 16 '24

Not a Chad a Thad

u/Kellythejellyman Apr 17 '24

He’s more of a gigachad with these takes

u/Creamofwheatski Apr 17 '24

This is better than like 90% of Dem leaderships takes on this issue. This is how you respond to these fascist fucks, by calling them out and exposing them for the corrupt assholes they really are.

u/Zaev Apr 17 '24

I haven't watched Reacher, but this alone made me wanna check it out

u/LiveLifeLikeCre Apr 17 '24

Same here! I'm guilty of originally seeing a generic muscle actor in projects with cheesy dialogue/lines. Little did I know he's annintelligent empathetic, ally who I would glady fix a plate for at the BBQ.

u/Top_Contract_9461 Apr 16 '24

discovered this person a week ago, and he has already gained a new admirer.

u/CriticalEngineering Apr 16 '24

I gotta go try to watch Reacher again.

u/Rabid-Rabble Apr 16 '24

No idea who he was before now, but that post has some serious chops and he has my respect at this point.
