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"

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

These idiots didn't even say "woke", they said "political". They've never processed any part of Rage lyrics other than "fuck you, won't do what you told me".

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.

Is it incredible? Poe's law hasn't gone anywhere.
