I feel like if I were a made man I'd find it insulting.
IIRC there were only 2 comments made about it by themThe first was the Don doesn’t wear shorts. They told that to the show runners everyone knows that.The second was that they were upset with how they were portrayed in greaseball clothing and track suits, the mob actually started dressing up more.
Nah it wasn't insulting
>>219488272You never acknowledge this thing of ours!
>>219488272Wasn't Pauly walnuts actor a real former mobster?
>>219488639I think he just went to jail, he wasn’t an actual mobster. There is lore that the actor keeps his hands in front of him as a jail habit irl, which is why Paulie is always fidgeting with his elbows bent and his arms in front of him
>>219488272like Scorsese movies, it just glorifies the life in popular culture when the modern day is just online scams and credit fraud
>>219488639He was a low level associate of the Colombos IIRC, basically a collector. Also a couple years after the show ended the guy who played Larry Barese was arrested alongside a couple members of the Gambino family for extortion.
>>219489409Didn't Matthew Belevaqua's actor go to jail for shooting a cop?
>>219490985Yes, he served 5 years of a 10 year sentence and his accomplice (the actual shooter) got life without parole.
>>219488272You can just watch youtube videos of the many mob rats who will tell you what they think of it. Generally they seem to like it, but they critique the realism. Like for example, a couple of them have said that some of the sitdowns, like the Johnny Sack/Ralphie sitdown, don't make sense because they often hinge on one made guy calling another made guy a liar, but that is evidently against the rules. You can never accuse another made man of being a liar, even if he's lying, which makes a lot of real life mafia sitdowns even more absurd than Hollywood because they have to resolve issues while dancing around this rule, which you can imagine probably makes things difficult to resolve.
>>219491478Wasnt this being acknowledged in the show, since tony didnt want ralph to apologize, only for him to do it?
