The showwriters for The Boys had to get this explicit for right-wingers to get the picture.
And they still didn't get it.
Stop making my show about an alt-right villain with a god complex polical libruls
"We are like Homelander, not the nazi lady!"
collapsed inline media
Breakfast loyalty
they got all thier panties in a wad about GEN V, marie being the counter to homelander
where were they, its been like that s1-s4, it just got glaringly more about the gop/maga
At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.
This is the unfortunate truth. We have to address it directly, sarcasm does not do it. They don’t have the self awareness for sarcasm to work.
Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’
People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.
How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?
This. None of them caught the obvious Stormfront name, nor can they see that homelander and his fans are analogous to Trump and his supporters.
In the spinoff Gen V, they even have

A fascist movement of supes that wants to subjugate humanity under the slogan "Make America Super Again"😄
I'm 100% sure they think Homelander represents out of control leftists.
They think Homelander is the good guy. I'm not fucking kidding
I haven't even seen the show and that "Homelander is not the good-guy" is literally all I know about it!
He blows up a plane in like the first ever episode or something. They make it VERY obvious he is the bad guy from the start. It's impossible not to understand that and yet
I started rewatching it recently (I haven't seen the newer seasons). There is an argument that that plane was an accident. He lasered the hijacker and destroyed the controls. At minimum, it's incredibly careless though, and he's still at fault for it and for not really giving a shit about the people on the plane. It's possible it's on purpose, but they don't make it explicit that he's evil then. Only that he's selfish.
The plane with the senator though? Yeah, he did that on his own on purpose.
YOU SHOULD also watch GEn V, which is the in-between seasons of boyz. in the plane incident, one indian lady said her family was killed, and she tried to take vengeance on all Vs and homelander by releasing a virus.
Huh. Thanks. I had literally never heard of that before.
and yet indeed
Homelander is their new punisher… except homelander is a bad guy.
I mean, The Punisher is also a bad guy, and The Punisher would be the first person to point that The Punisher is a bad guy.
no, they would think homlander is good and trying to stop out of control leftists.
your claimed 100% certainty is hyperbolic and outright laughable
how could they get so wrong, when the people in the Show protesting are magats.
