I Was Thinking About The Boys Recently, And How It Does A Really Good Job Of Showing How God Awful Society

I was thinking about the Boys recently, and how it does a really good job of showing how god awful society can be and the way in which they mock the right wing for their actions. It's a show that personally I really enjoy.

The problem is, the right wing don't understand satire and that this show isn't for them. And, personally, I feel it has emboldened a lot of people to act even more like dicks to others.

I've had conversations with people who don't realise Homelander isn't a hero. They can't understand why people don't like Homelander because he 'cares about America.' Not understanding that the only person he cares about is himself. The only thing he cares about is power, absolute power. He wants to take over America and make it in his own image.

He is a literal Nazi who was in cahoots with a literal Nazi (Stormfront).

But the right don't get this. They don't understand that the show is mocking them by showing how the undying love for Homelander, and the cult of personality, mimics the undying love that many of them have for Donald Trump and MAGA.

And this is ultimately the problem.

They seem to think this show is a how to guide for the right wing, when actually it's a 'this is what the world is coming to and it's scary.'

Whilst I love the Boys, I'm glad it's ending with Season 5. It will be interesting to see how the justify some of the things such as the concentration camps in the show.

Whilst Soldier Boy was an ass as well, worst thing they ever did was stop him from killing Homelander and his son.
