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.
I think I just found the only reasonable exchange involving two people with opposing views on porn to ever exist on this website
I love when you’re reading multiple fics by the same author and you start to spot all the phrases and adjectives they like to use
Absolutely nothing worse than finding out that you share interests with someone you hate. Has you thinking things like fuck you I'm better at enjoying star wars than you are
Incompetent Connor is so hilarious.
Replaying the Hostage and when you manage to save the kid and Daniel is killed and the camera pans to the kid sobbing on the floor and music is all intense and Connor just looks and walks around all cool like mission accomplished - it's such a great badass moment.
But when you don't save her and he walks the same way it's like -
I came.
I horribly messed up,
Connor OUT.

The human body's response to HRT is actually admirable in the sheer indifference. Just pure I Don't Give A Shit, I Just Fucking Work Here compliance to the new instructions. You can get testosterone injected straight into your body and it doesn't even question where that shit came from, coming back from a coffee break and just going
"Okay, everything seems to be in ord- oh fuck now what? Oh huh. Alright fine. New orders came in, cancel the menstrual cycle. Dig up the genetic balding patterns from somewhere, I don't fucking know they're buried somewhere in the dna. I'm greenlighting the growing-hair-on-your-toes thing. Yeah just cancel the ongoing maintenance processes, new orders came in so this is apparently what we're doing now."
