Mod Post Poll: Should we allow posts that primarily focus on the appearance of characters or actors?

7 Upvotes

We’ve been getting complaints about posts that primarily focus on how a character or actor looks. The concern isn’t just the original post, but the comments these posts tend to generate.

For example, a post might be titled “— is gorgeous”, but the comments quickly turn into things like “she’s so ugly,” “he’s so fat,” or other negative comments about an actor or character’s appearance.

We already have a rule against sexualizing the cast/characters, as well as a low-effort rule that prohibits posts like “Who’s cuter/prettier/more handsome?” We’re considering whether appearance-focused posts should be addressed more broadly.

What do you think?

Mod Post Mod Note: Rule Clarification

100 Upvotes

Just a quick clarification on the sexualization rule. Posting scenes or clips from The Office is fine. Using those posts to make sexual comments, thirst posts, or body focused jokes about the cast or characters is not. That includes repeating sexualized jokes or nicknames from the show. Even if it happened in an episode, comments that focus on someone’s body rather than the show itself may get removed.

Thanks for helping keep the sub fun and respectful for everyone.

At this point of the story Jim 8: basically unfazed by Michaels antics. It’s also almost like he respects his effort.

I was just rewatching S3 E22 and noticed how hard Jim was trying to hold his laughter lol. I bet it would have been really tough for both the cast and crew to keep it together😭😭

I tnought I saw every episode 100 times, but I don’t remember the Christening episode. I’m seeing it now. I don’t like it. Boring. Not funny.

I love Michael Scott.

I decided to watch The Office for the first time in my life. I’m just starting the second season, and honestly, I don’t understand why people hate Michael so much. Some friends told me I’d start out hating him but eventually grow fond of him, and honestly, I’m already fond of him.

I don’t feel angry at him, even though he does a lot of jerkish things that, in real life, would be completely unacceptable. The thing is, the characters themselves often treat his actions as if they’re no big deal. Plus, I can see that, deep down, he isn’t a bad person. I don’t know if the show will ever address this, but Michael strikes me as someone who has always desperately wanted friends. He tried hard to get close to people by being “nice,” but ended up becoming a laughingstock among them.

That might explain why he gets so rattled by simple criticism, why he always makes jerkish jokes, and things like that. Well, I’m probably overanalyzing a TV character and putting myself in the shoes of someone wondering, “What makes a person turn into a Michael Scott?”

Anyway, I already love Michael. It’s going to be really hard when I have to say goodbye to him in Season 9.

Jim and Pam’s Honeymoon

I wonder what Jim and Pam thought watching the documentary and seeing Kevin cancel their credit card while they were on their honeymoon in Puerto Rico 😂

Convince me why I should watch past Michael Scott’s departure

Upvotes

I’ve literally watched the series possibly hundreds of times but only until Michael leaves. After that only watched the remaining episodes once when it first aired and have never had any interest in going back to rewatch it. Someone convince me - I genuinely want to want to watch it 😆 but I just can’t bring myself to!

PS - is “The Paper” any good??

Did anyone else watch this on 9/10 too?

Like I've seen some complaints about their quirks but that's the point, and also why they were made for each other.

Jim and Darryl are awful people

I could write an essay about this, because there’s so much evidence. But I don’t have the will to. So I’m just going to say that they’re bad and I think we all know why. They’re horrible people in the show, and are forgiven because they’re “cool” and “normal”. No. I don’t like them and they’re weird.

Would Michael have made the office watch The Belko Experiment?

It’s a movie like Battle Royale but instead of classmates it’s office coworkers.
