I think he's a selfish and close-minded person, and I'm tired of seeing him being represented as a beacon of good taste and a shining example of a human being.

This is what Ron Swanson would say:
FireSolvesProblems
I disagree, but you have my upvote.
Makerofroads
It's made even better that the actor is pretty much the opposite of his established character.
oldiebutagoodie
Well you used the meme right so +1 He’s a straight shooter who likes solitude. Nothing wrong with that.
Smedley27
That’s ok, he probably wouldn’t like you either.
angiepai
Absolutely! He starts off as a total asshole. But the actor did such a good job with it. I’m sure we all know people like that..

Assholes are my favorites characters in comic shows, Dwight Schrute, Dr Kelso, Eric Cartman, Carlos Squidward etc ...

Parcs & Recreation? Is that the original French show that Parks & R3creation is based on?

Ron Swanson isn't a character, he's a caricature. He's a portrait of American machismo and individualism.

Which is not super trendy these days.

It’s about overcoming these shortcomings. That’s how a character arches work. You feeling this strongly shows the writers did a good job.
zafner
Do you mean "a character's arc"?
DrRichardKimble
Actually meant banana bread but autocorrect…
MrNohbdy
Now apply that logic to Delores Umbridge
ManOCheese
She didn't have a story arc or character development. Nor did she have nuance or any complicated personality either.

Never seen it. That's the Netflix mob show? Maybe he gets witness protection or relocated or something?
flarflarf
his character definitely evolved over the show. I think originally yeah he was a parody of selfish libertarians.
amiller12142
Started out as a caricature, developed into much more than just a foil for Leslie.
flarflarf
yep
lowerider777
Yeah, the episode where he sets up his will for his new wife and step-kids really shows how far he'd come since the start of the show.
flarflarf
i think that over time the writers realized that the actor was super likable and so they tried to make his character less awful.
ManOCheese
Ron's politics were nieve and dangerous, but he wasn't selfish or uncaring.

I have no idea how I typed it so badly.
jeeps005
well it works phonetically. ni-eve
ManOCheese
Maybe I was thinking that? Now I feel weird 'cause I usually spell good.
