We literally saw Stormfront word for word, say "People like what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don't like the word Nazi, that's all". The show is as subtle as a brick

[wavemoon]

Pro "life" people when Homelander decides not to save children out of a plane:
"Wow this guy is kinda awesome"

[nobodyofimportance]

Eric Kripke: "The Boys is a lot of things, but subtle isn't one of them. If you think Homelander is the hero of the show, I don't know what to tell you but seek therapy"

[potluckfollie]

"How to destroy your audience" Conservatives, you are not the audience. You're the subject.

[wesleysmith]

Conservatives think that a corporation flying rainbow flags in the show is "making fun of the left"

[cerealbox]

I thought conservatives idealizing homelander was just a meme. God help us all.

[cyberspacecat]

Dude didn't watch the season, read some user reviews, made some vague rant about "raah, my show's woke!", and called it a day, 2+ mill views.. Conservatives have it so fucking easy man.

The Boys is a satire targeting basically every aspect of the modern right wing. The idea that people were too dumb to notice is hilarious to me.

Media: This character is a nazi
Conservatives: [Soyjack Cheer]
Media: and Nazis are bad
Conservatives: [Soyjack Cry]

[siniister]

not knowing the show is political just shows how poor conservatives media literacy is lol

[iamNazrak]

I grew up in a conservative household and my family let me watch the daily show and the colbert report every morning because they didn’t understand that the Colbert report was satire

[AliRizwanMasood]

People forget that right wing fans genuinely didnt understand how depraved Homelander was, and btw legitimately thought Homelander didn't rape Becca. Which is why in season 2 they had Becca explicitly say it and massively reduced the subtext about Homelander. Their lack of Media literacy literally forced the show to explicitly explain why Evil Dude is clearly a psychopath.... And they STILL cant comprehend it

[StakeFromJateFarm]

Calling yourself an "independent" while being staunchly socially conservative is about as American as it gets

[russt]

It only took em 4 seasons, almost an entire presidential term for them to connect the dots😂

[maya.furtado]

They literally have a character who is their version of Tucker Carlson. He even talks in the same way as Tucker Carlson, dresses like him and is presented on the news like him.

[dartxsi]

The reason why conservatives took four seasons to figure out Homelander is the bad guy is because conservatives think the shit he does is good.

[santifocus]

I just got whiplash from the idea that there is a possibility that there are right wingers out there that saw the black history month scene with Vought and thought "Vought is so woke."

[ericklopes]

Hasan is underestimating. It's not that they're dumb. Here's how it works:

1. The far-right knows it's satire, but they still idolize it because they look at Homelander and think "This, but unironically".

2. The regular right also knows it's satire, but they're still capable of enjoying the show, as long as it's entertaining.

3. So, the writers decided to make it more and more on the nose, so as to "clear any confusion".

But there was never any confusion.

You made a character that represents the far right.
They loved it.

You made him narcisistic, handsome and powerful.

So you try and act as if they're just dumb and didn't notice it was satire. They DID notice. They just don't care.

Like a sexual fantasy, they just want to continue indulging in it.

So they can still enjoy it for as long as Homelander himself doesn't point to the camera and say: "Hey! I'm evil and you're stupid!" Which is pretty much what they made him do, and that's why right wingers are pissed, that's why they're complaining about "poor writing".

It was blunt before, but now it's just so in their face that they can't even indulge in it anymore.

my occasional apology from Scotland for allowing count dankula and the critical drinker to get internet access

[hrodebrt]

Told a right wing buddy of mine that he was acting like a crying liberal when he was ranting about season 4 and he hasn't spoken to me since lol
