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

https://old.reddit.com/r/TheBoys/comments/vgctl9/people_who_idolize_blue_hawk_need_to_understand?sort=controversial

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?

Is this one of those things where you're not allowed to detach yourself from a show and like a character who is supposed to not be a good guy?

Thats the irony isnt it! Redditors think theyre geniuses for pointing out that the writers are so mediocre they let their ideology pour into the characters, but like they dont think for a second that viewers like these characters because a) theyre likeable to the viewer, or b) because itโ€™s the ultimate in contrarian anti-establishment thinking to like the character this corporate-back self-proclaimed anti-establishment show is telling you to hate

The ultimate in contrarian anti- establishment thinking is to not place idealogical weight in corporate garbage.

Thats true, but at the same time i can at least admire someone who just likes villain protagonists unironically. From rappers idolizing tony montana to misogynists who think skyler white shouldve let her husband cook meth, these people understand that youre supposed to root for the protagonist even if hes a bad person

tbh I dont think i've seen a single person of any political leaning like this guy, he's clearly portrayed as an out of touch idiot. the reddit guy is just karma farming about a point that literally no one holds haha
