The Boys has a lot of super creepy right-wingers who idolize the fascist characters in the show, totally oblivious that the show is making fun of them and those characters.
It's super weird that they're that dumb, but combined with that is just how weird and disturbing they are as people because of that.
That's actually incredible. It was extremely obvious they were taking the piss out of the right... Kind of alarming if that wasn't picked up on by some
These are the same folk who think the Colbert Report wasn't satire or get upset that wolfenstein's Twitter account promoted a new game about killing Nazis (all the wolfenstein games are about killing nazis).
"I loved Rage Against The Machine until they went woke"
I don't understand? Why did ratm have to get political?, why couldn't they just stick to their music?
If you really suck, the games are about Nazis killing this one guy
Being oblivious to reality is a feature of Republicanism.
Take rights away from 50% of the population, be surprised that the vast majority of women don't like rights being taken away.
No, they really don't see it. And they instead idolize Homelander and think he's the one that's correct in the show and doing what's right and what they want to do.
I have literally never seen anyone idolize homelander. This is like Marilyn Manson getting his ribs removed so he could suck his own dick: often repeated, never substantiated
Is it incredible? Poe's law hasn't gone anywhere.
As a matter of fact, satire does not work. Fascists will idolize the fascists in satire, always. It feels like satire only works with people who already have an education about the dangers of fascism.
In the broken mind of a fascist, satire is actually a kind of utopia. It's how the world is supposed to be in their twisted ideals.
One day we'll have a movie that starts with a warning like:
This movie is satire. If you actually relate to and agree with the ideas presented in this film, please seek professional help.
Unfortunately it would get paid as much attention as the FBI warnings about piracy being illegal.
Poe’s Law per Wikipedia
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
Oh yes my ideal woman should breastfeed a fully grown lab experiment
I feel like the only satire that works is full blown, overt caricature, like the WW2 propaganda cartoons
Its the same reason they like to play Born in the USA all the time.
That's because telling people what NOT to do is pretty much never going to work. "Don't think of a bear." It's better to focus on what to do and real solutions instead of criticizing alone. The Boys doesn't offer anything in way of solutions except perhaps violence. It maligns fascists and antifascists and horseshoe theories them together.
What I'm most curious about is how much insider info related to celebrities is being released through these episodes and characters. Because THAT is actually accurate and interesting.
What do you mean, insider info being released?
I mean that, reading between the lines, the character storylines are likely based on real life Hollywood rumors. I think that's the point and why there are so many references. That implies that there really is a celebrity that had sex with an Octopus or other animal. There's actually a (really unsubstantiated) rumor about Tom Cruise and a fish, and since the Deep is sort of made to be Tom Cruise in the Scientology cult... I think there are a lot of Easter eggs like this in the show. It's a warning.
The reverse side of representation matters.
Mis...representation?
