Throughout the series and spinoffs, Dixon has undergone a transformation from kid who grew up in his racist brother's shadow, to a more tolerant (but not necessarily progressive by our standards) Southern man who just cares for the people around him. As a gay dude in the South, I have noticed that this character trope (conservative-natured, but not necessarily bigoted) is true for many of the people I care about, and I feel like Norman Reedus helps to break the long-held Hollywood trope of backwoods-Southerners-who-hate-all-outsiders.
