A couple weeks ago I posted a gif of a Jim prank on Dwight that made it to the FP. I was SHOCKED how many people commented and messaged me all kinds of shit about Jim being a bully and social ramifications of supporting it and rah-rah-rah. I gotta set some shit straight.
Look, Jim is not a bully, and Jim and Dwight are not even enemies. They're office adversaries, yeah, but just beneath the surface they're actually best fucking friends. You'd have to watch more than a handful of soundless moving images to pick up on this, but Jim is consistently there for Dwight when he truly needs help.
This isn't the story of a man bullying a weak and vulnerable person. Dwight is a perfectly capable (though his methods are strange) and confident adversary. These two men are pretty evenly matched.
I wish I knew why it's important to me that you idiots that commented and messaged me are aware of this. There are certainly more productive things I could be doing. But, for whatever reason, it is.
Thanks for your time, evil minions of user sub.
FP Edit: Send me schrute bucks and strange Google street view photos

Ok, those idiots have obviously never seen the office. The Jim & Dwight friendship/interations are hands down the best parts of the show
farticusprime
did they know that Dwight calls everyone an idiot?
tradbowclaw
Bedwetting whiners. They are evenly matched..ish.

Or the time Jim prevented Dwight from getting fired for the Sabre store?

People just enjoy finding things to be offended about.

The office right? Or is it called aomething else?
ziralien
I always thought they had a sort of love/hate friendship.
Everdrunk
They obviously have never watched more than 1 episode of The Office. Children piss me off.
waitwtf
How about the episode where Jim has to wrestle a power-crazed Dwight from going into a conference room that's about to fire him as VP

As a Nietzschean, we value our enemies even more highly than our friends.

The episode where Jim and Dwight tag-team a sale is one of my favorite episodes. They work well together.
NoiceSmart
Great post. Agreed. I love that Jim sits in the hall and consoles Dwight about Angela. Your points are valid.
BootyFett
Love that scene. Especially when Dwight goes to reach for him, and Jim's no longer there :D

wanted to add that one in but couldn't find a decent quality video and I'm not smart enough to pirate shit off netflix
BearEnthusiast
Dang man that'd be super frustrating if it happened.
ETsNutsack
Welcome to Internet, where cute cat gifs and idiots run wild.
Cammo353
Like, have they seen them make a sale together? They're the dynamic duo of paper sales.

I always remember at the end when Dwight fires Jim. That alone showed how he really felt.

I just watched the episode where they have to plan Kelly's birthday party together. Classic

Bullying is bad. Healthy competition can bring out some of the best work/art between friendly adversaries.
Ultitanius
Besten Menschen. Even got Steve Carell back for the last episode. All y'all are idiots.
ladykittenfarts
Dwight was an unhappy asshole. Jim helped him become a happy man. Now make me a post about when Pam puked at her desk on purpose. Thanks.

If their only exposure to The Office is Office gifs, and the only Office gifs that get posted are Jim pranks, Jim looks kinda like a jerk.
WhimsicalCalamari
I've only seen a little of The Office outside of Imgur gifs, but what I remember is that Dwight is downright scary at times so pranks are ok

I asked Dwight how we will get a key if he dies and he replied "if I'm dead then you all would have been dead for a long time."

Love how people get real serious over a TV SHOW PEOPLE!!!
teachingsheeple
I think you have to lighten up if you're taking those comments seriously.
subparusersubber
this is a life or death situation right here i don't think you understand
NoiceSmart
OP clearly gets the seriousness of the situation
squirrellbot
best quote about their frienemy stance is when Jim says “I knew Dwight would try to get to me when I returned, but I didn’t know it’d work”
verrog
Love this

Calling anyone "overly sensitive" automatically means you're just being overly sensitive about whatever they said.
ImAnFBIAgentBooBoop
Careful. Lots of people here are overly sensitive of over-sensitiveness

HOW DARE YOU
BumwipeMcGee
That doesn't even make a little sense. I don't have to be overly sensitive to think that people being upset over trivial things are dunces.

But what if it's a money beet?

I don't know what's worse: that there are people out there who haven't watched The Office, or that you actually made this post for them.
ZOMGNO
I tried. It did not amuse me at all. Imgur shares, so I get some of it, thats enough for me, to be honest.
Stormycakes
I like having a reminder of how awesome that relationship was.
sweaterpuppies
I feel like I've watched The Office from all the posts about it
thyarmageddon
Made him about 2000 points, so there's that.

Haha nice.
littlevulpix
The fact that this site has come to personal messaging rampages over the morals of a TV show is what really gets me.
TummyMcTumTum
Jim was the best man at Dwight's wedding. Sounds like bullying to me.

make me your best man or i'm taking your lunch money, dork

Although I was not fond of Jim , him and Dwight were worthy opponents.

It's like cyber bullying, only in real life! He probably just wouldn't leave the server, or whatever the IRL version of that is called.

No the best man has to be older. Tradition

I've never heard this ever. The best man TRADITIONALLY was a swordsman to help defend the grooms honor in a duel challenge.
Korlitek
If you ever plan to watch the series, I suggest you stop posting/reading replies. If you don't plan to, someone will spoil it for you soon.
TummyMcTumTum
I think of that part of the show like the list season of Scrubs. Never happened.
