TIL that television program “The Boys” has an in universe cryptocurrency as a satire of, well, cryptocurrency in general but also specifically that time when DJT was selling NFTs. They occasionally tweet about it.
It has a listing on the “BSCScan” crypto tracker under the name “VTC” so someone might have actually minted it? It might surprise some of you that I have no way of telling the realness of such a thing.
Their marketing department does a phenomenal job of blurring the line between show and reality. I have no trouble believing that this coin is "real".
With how depressingly close especially the latest season has been to reality, I am utterly convinced that (without spoiling anything) they will intentionally end this season at a point that allows them to wait and see what chaos the US elections will bring with them, and to then incorporate that into the final season.
Kinda off topic I guess but w/e.
it's also deeply depressing how many chuds and pepe-afficionado it's-just-a-frog-bro haha-only-serious people (often gamers, not exclusively) have taken to posting homelander memes

misaimed fandoms are a thing; you'd be surprised (or not) how many hard right fans in poland do the witcher books and games have. similarly, there are still people who believe that verhoeven's starship troopers film is an affirmation, not repudiation of fascism (in the original book, and in general).
Your description piqued my interest, but then I saw that this was a superhero show (black comedy, satire, but still)...
it's not quite the usual type (which is part of why I like it). it's from the same people who made Supernatural, if you've ever watched that
should also say that it's tarantino-tier violent and "beyond" (I wouldn't use the word excessive for it because I think the show's stuff fits what it does extremely well, but others may (use the word))
one of the things I enjoy most about it is how fucking well it hits the nail smack in the middle of its head, even while it suffers the same curse as the Laundry series
