This is why good cinema isn't made anymore. If someone tries to defend a good scene for once redditors will go through your post history and try to discredit your opinions. The show is called "The Boys", and while I have prime I only watch it through youtube clips because 99 percent of the show is shit, but sometimes they make the villains unintentionally cool like with soldier boy and the deep, and I like going to the discussion forums and supporting the Villains for the purpose of incitement. In this most recent argument I was talking about how badass the Deep was. He's a bit of an butthole, but he's charming. Last episode he finally got a good moment which prompted my defense of him. Watch this clip if you want more context behind the angry redditors.
It starts here with one redditor explaining "The Peak" nickname as "ironic glazing" rather than the genuine admiration that the deep has been garnishing recently. I of course let him know that he was wrong and received angry comments from redditors going through my post history.
/uf why is the deep called the peak? Sorry I missed smth
Ironic glazing
It's not ironic for me. I love the character and he was actually bad butt this scene.
After I made this comment I received this message and I attempted to stir the pot a bit more.
Badass? As he declares his lack of repentance for sexually assaulting Starlight and then proceeds to physically assault her? Alright...
What follows is a dismantling of my character and copious kink shaming.
The copy pasted insults and "incel" accusations didn't really phase me. I am used to those. What got me however... What got me was this comment.
Bro you got banned from the goon cave sub, you're not wild you're pathetic lmfao
This man was right. I was banned from /r/gooncaves before the sub was itself banned.

I still have not gotten over that day and I consider it a fairly low blow for him to open such a wound, and then discuss it with a stranger.
I didn't even want to incite anyone in that thread. All I wanted to do was discuss my favorite hero.
If you enjoy subtle political commentary please watch The Boys.

Will I enjoy this show as a chud? The politics are pretty on the nose but is it possible to laugh it off and just cherish the good moments or should I skip?

The only people it's insulting to is unironic trump supporters who don't realize they are in a cult and think the woke left is attacking them. The show runners decided to drop all subtleness this time around and it was finally obvious enough that true trump supporters are upset that their edgy superhero show is attacking them now

There's a scene where they force a racist billionaire to donate all of his money to Elizabeth Warren and BLM. Which I found funny. You can definitely enjoy it but you just have to enjoy it in ways that the writers didn't intend.

If he is enjoying it unironically, he truly is.

Honestly, the writers and show runners should read the comics and see how woke the source material is
