This show has been making fun of conservatives since the beginning. : TheBoys

I don't watch whatever this capeshit show is but there's some sperging out here.

To be clear this isnโ€™t meant to specifically bash anyone directly because I know thatโ€™s against the rules, but you gotta understand the show absolutely is taking sides and if you donโ€™t get it the writers probably wouldnโ€™t like you as a person.

Not trying to bash you, but the costals who write this show fricking hate you and everything you believe

:#marseytroublemaker:

Please shut the frick up with the "actually both sides!" shit.

But itโ€™s correct. The show has made fun of the left plenty of times. The most obvious recent example being the theme park, which was clearly a Disney world reference. If you think Disney isnโ€™t on the left youโ€™re crazy.

Disney is not on "the left." The left want to dismantle billionaires & smash corpo-fascist power. Disney wants to make as much money as it can, however it can, & they've correctly determined that catering to old conservative people is not a long-term viable model. If they were "on the left" they'd cut executive pay, raise worker pay, smash themself into smaller companies, & fund leftist causes with their largesse.

Not openly hating gay people is not "leftist." Including some non-white main characters is not "leftist." It's bare minimum social centrism, at best.

That scene satirizes corporations who pretend to be leftish & appropriate popular movements. They're not mocking BLM, they're mocking companies that appropriate BLM &, well, Disney-fy it into something they can commoditize.

Wingcuckery and no true leftist awaits you further in that chain

Here's me thinking this sub was the TheBoys but now seeing its r/Politics, guess I need to find a other sub..

When rightists elected Trump, it thrust politics into every American's face non-stop 24/7. It doesn't stop until you guys dump him.

Ball's in your court, but keep in mind the rest of us aren't as sensitive as Republicans when it comes to discussing politics because we don't have anything to hide. As Republicans you guys probably get tired of having to explain why your sexism, bigotry, racism and hatred of LGBTQ rights is okay and justified so I could see why you would get tired of discussing politics.

I just wanna watch capeshit for God's sake :#marseygrilling2:

Oh hey, another post complaining about random people.

Ugh, god, I know, right? Can't we go five minutes without bashing racists? /s

Maybe we could actually discuss the show and not frickwits tangentially related to it?

My corporate capeshit makes fun of capeshit, conservatives AND corporations? Watching this makes me a good person! :soyjackwow:

Unironically the only time superhero satire works is when its completely affectionate of superheroes. Thats the reason the Boys sucks and the Tick is good. Its like doing an impression, you have to like the person youre impersonating because people tend to like themselves like norm said

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with capeshit (for kids and teens) minus wokies and being massively oversaturated. Needs a break from culture forefront, saturday morning cartoon level stuff should not be the New American Zeitgeist

Are you a child? Capeshit enjoyement is on the same level of self-awareness as vicarously emotionally investing in the success of a sportsball team. What you call cultural zeitgiest I call state religion, and I see no escape from it in corporate media lmao.

I read the comics, didn't play the game, but it worked because it kinda made sense. Joker killed Lois Lane while she was pregnant, so Superman just snaps and does what everyone's been thinking Supers should do for ages. For most of the first issue, Batman comes across as a paranoid man lost in grief and fake morals.

Plus it's fairly interesting as a crossover because it's not "Superman expy fights worse written Batman", it's actually Superman vs Batman.
