Whole ass one thing.” I personally remember hearing that at a time where I needed it most, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that it was coming from someone with such distinct beliefs. (At least with me.) “ Never half ass two things. And it’s very important to make it clear that learning of Lil’ Sebastian’s passing made him cry.Īs a character with a lot to say, Ron Swanson has said two things that have inspired and will be carried forever. Where he knows he can make an impact, he’s perfectly clear about what he desires and how he feels. Where Ron needs to be bold with his beliefs, he is. And while his coworkers may not get all of that, as the audience we’re able to understand why certain things are hidden because they aren’t often the important life changing matters that the others need to know about. In fact, it is in those moments where you see his strength more clearly because as a man, he isn’t afraid of being his true self regardless of what people may think of him. You never once doubt Ron’s strength when he admits to loving riddles or even drunkenly giggles.
In his display of ceaseless female praise, Ron’s ability to carry on extremely traditional manly activities with great love ultimately showcases the fact that it can and should be done. He’s presented to us as a man who’s working for the government while he fervently hates the government and his job, but deep within, you know he has a sincere desire to make the world a better place, which he reveals by supporting his female coworkers whose ideas he values greatly even though he’s reluctant to agree with them. Ron’s feminism isn’t thrown into the face of viewers with the kind of force that may seem jarring or overtly evocative, but rather the subtly in the beginning is what makes it so brilliant. And Ron Swanson for instance is written with such delicacy and realism that he’s able to challenge viewers in ways they may not have seen coming. It takes a lot of skill and risk to develop something like Parks and Recreation without it ever feeling like it’s dragging on or the tropes are forced. Mike Schur and Greg Daniels are geniuses when it comes to the characters they’ve written. And if that’s the case steak connoisseur Ron Swanson would say otherwise. As a feminist and a hard worker who loves breakfast and meat an obscene amount, Ron Swanson is the kind of character that’s bound to leave a mark on anyone.Īnd perhaps for me, my favorite thing about him is the fact he plays a crucial role in providing a different perspective for men who may think feminism just isn’t for them. In Ron Swanson, he’s not only an unsurpassed boss, but he’s an incredibly kind soul behind what may be classified as the manliest man to exist. And in truly inimitable ways, each character has the kind of story to tell that someone somewhere needs to hear.
When it comes to the men of Parks and Recreationit’s impossible not to appreciate them because of how intricately they’re each written and brought to life.
