More often than not, a best friend character like Charles' is shown as the clingy friend who the protagonist just tolerates. He has always been so supportive of Amy and her ambitions and the healthy portrayal of a relationship is so important because it's so rare on tv.Īnd, in one episode where he actually is jealous of Amy meeting her celebrity crush, he recognizes that it's an ugly emotion and tries to deal with it, maybe not that successfully, but at least he tried and that's what matters. This obviously ties into the first point as well.
Remember that episode where Amy is freaking out about becoming a Sergeant and how her rank would be higher than Jake's? His answer at that moment was perfect. Moreover, he's obviously grown throughout the show and has never been toxic or disrespectful towards any other character, especially his female co-workers. Yes, he may have started off as an immature person, but he has always been self-aware of it and that was just part of his charm. Tbh, the entire show doesn't have a single drop of toxic masculinity, be it Jake or Terry or Captain Holt, especially Charles.
