They Call Me "the Guy Who Loves Rocking Back And Forth" On Account Of How I Love Rocking Back And Forth

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.

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.

fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

he's like a patron saint to me

Gavin: “Tina, let me tell you about this fuckin’ tin can. He-”

Nines, suddenly right behind him: “My pronouns are it/itself.”

Gavin: “Shit… is that… like… Is that a gender thing? Or is that because you’re a robot and whatever? I’ll support you if it’s the first one, but like…”

Idk. Gavin being Gen-Z makes me wonder about a few things

platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you

I wish i could detach myself from myself. Oh to be RK900 and only do my job without any distractions.

sorry but reddit ‘leftists’ are so pathetic. nearly every comment section on every subreddit is just doomer crap, basically telling people there’s nothing they can do except move countries while simultaneously not recognizing that the same groups they claim to care about absolutely do not have options to just pack up and leave overnight. like there are people here that need your help and if you’re actually as helpful/caring/humanitarian as you claim, then you should be providing resources and information on how to help marginalized communities instead of wallowing in your own misery and trying to force everyone to feel the same.

fascist regimes want you to feel helpless so that you stay immobile. even if you can’t transform the government overnight, you can help spread accurate information and volunteer locally to support marginalized groups. that stuff is not ‘small’, it changes people’s lives. it matters.

I'm replaying the game and there's such a neat little detail I haven't noticed before - all three characters have a chance to look into mirror in their introductory chapters - prior deviancy.

Kara and Markus don't react.

But!

Connor does.

Vain little motherfucker (affectionate).

I LOVE THIS ART
