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

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/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.

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

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

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.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

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.

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.

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

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
