It will never stop being funny that republicans were super excited about The Boys until that season, and then got butthurt when ‘the message changed’, suddenly saying Homelander was warping superman’s legacy and had gone woke and whatnot.
Like, he was clearly a fascist from minute 1, but once Stormfront made it inescapably obvious, even to their tiny minds, the whole series had changed.
Watching that play out was one of the highlights of the past 10 years.
lol, he slaughtered that whole plane of people in season 1.
These people are just dumb as bricks and need it literally spelled out for them to understand anything.
They barely understand text, let alone heavy handed subtext.
That'a why most creative works with deep subtext which is cleverly plotted in the plot are worthless as a teaching medium. Dumb fuckers needs stuff to be delivered very directly.
I think we just need media literacy to be taught in regular schools. Both with real world content or fictional works. We should be raising the dumb dumbs up rather than dumbing our media down to cater to their smooth brains.
You are right, but I wouldn't be angry for occasional movie that says very straightforward that being racist and nazi is not good.
For real, could use some of that in video games too. Maybe more in video games. A lot of them like to play in that racism sandbox but by the end try to pull some “but maybe both sides are bad” horseshit.
Far Cry 5 and Bioshock Infinite spring to mind.
There's actually a movie called Look Who's Back, where Hitler is transported to the modern day, and at the end of the film, he's gaining political momentum, because it turns out that while the Nazis were driven out of power, their ideology was allowed to continue.
It really is the case that there are a lot of people out there that like Nazi ideology, but just don't like to be associated with the endgame of their ideology.
"Er ist wieder da" was the most depressing comedy movie of the decade. ("Don't look up" is this decade's winner)
It gets even more depressing when you learn that many of the public scenes are NOT scripted, they're literally a guy in a hitler suit, out in public, think Borat, but with nazis.
I read something ages ago, some study or something, not sure how legit, and it basically came to the conclusion that the only way to stop people from liking and associating with Nazi ideology is to not expose them to it, because there are some people that will like it if exposed, and it can't really be stopped.
Culling the herd seems to be the tried and true method.
I'm not even sure how well that will work now with the internet.
It's a pretty good watch, I think it was free on youtube when I saw it a couple years ago.
Edit: yup still on there, with English subtitles
Nazi isnt just a word, Frau. Its a lifestyle hated by anyone who values freedom from oppression
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!"
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.
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"

A growing number of people are getting really comfortable with the idea of being literal Nazis.
It's not even an allegiance to "National Socialism" or the NSDAP, per se.
Some people are aroused by the prospect of telling people, with impunity, that they or their group are in charge of everything forever and everyone has to applaud it on pain of torture and death.
They have a perverse, sometimes sexual, stimulation at the prospect of threatening, abusing, and submitting people to their doctrine of what they unilaterally deem to be the natural order of things.
Simply put, they feed, at every level, on the pain and misery they cause.
It’s like racism, to them being called a racist is more offensive than their racist actions. They want to be racist Nazis, but they just don’t want us to call them that
Thats because they've been conditioned to view themselves as the victim. When you point out that they are doing harm to others it really fucks with their entire sense of self and they get defensive.
This is also why they need to hear the truth. We cannot keep coddling these snowflakes just because it makes them feel more comfortable and gives them a false sense of security.
Imagine it like you're meeting a kid who has been homeschooled and sheltered from the outside world for their entire lives. They often say and believe things that don't line up with reality because their view on the outside world has relied only on what their parents were willing to tell them.
The gradual shift from slant to widespread gaslighting and narrative control that we're all seeing in most American news and media in 2025, is just a glimpse into what the right have been experiencing for decades. We view it as alarming now, but imagine how you'll feel after a few years.
After a while it just becomes the normal/default. Imagine generations growing up dependent on this shit to keep them informed about the rest of the world. They're not going to be happy about hearing the truth, but they need to hear it. All you can and should do is state facts, and ignore any attempts to turn every conversation into a Fox News vs CNN debate.
If they continue to escalate, just disengage like you would a child throwing a tantrum. If/when they're ready to calm down and speak rationally, then repeat. Stick to facts. Present evidence if they're willing to listen. Do not let them twist the narrative or pivot to a different subject in order to distract. At the end of the day, they have no evidence to back up the things they say. If they can't present their evidence, then the conversation is over.
If they still want to be angry and blame someone, tell them they should take it up with the abusive patriarchal oligarchs who manipulated them and distorted their reality in order to control them.
Turns out that’s what they meant by freedom.
Unrelated, but this is my brother's favorite quote.
Alas, this doesn't only apply to republicans. You'd be surprised how much everyday people casually believe in eugenics/phrenology/other nazi related pseudo-science.
You are sre 100% correct. And btw, it's related.
Yeah i should stop overusing that word
I was wondering who loomer reminded me of. Fits perfectly.
