    I’m almost finished watching it, it’s crazy that some American rightists liked it. It’s not even being subtle, it’s straight up “CONSERVATIVES BAD AMARITE FELLAS” all the way. I get why some are confused by Disco Elysium but The Boys?? Straight up lib-left propaganda

      chuds cannot art, they can’t make it they can’t understand it even when it has all the subtlety of a brick to the face

      there’s cases where they get it and like it anyway on an ironic level, like the self-aware fascists who like starship troopers, but all you have to do in those cases is break any chance of them suspending disbelief by doing something too explicitly “current politics” to ignore, like putting pride flags on the helldivers

      It’s such a hamfisted attempt at “critique” by just dialing the kombucha-disgust-meter up to 11 that I couldn’t bear watching more than the first 4 episodes. Like I was forcing myself in the hopes of it getting better but then just thought “why am I doing this to myself”
