The Boys is what always got me. It was "woke" from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it's only woke now?
The morons didn't realize you're not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.
Granted, I'm a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.
Like, I see this sentiment that "homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn't know it" meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.
Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.
