    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?

        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.

          I’ve never watched an episode but have a general idea of the premise. It seemed pretty obvious that Homelander wasn’t the protagonist from the basic understanding I had of the show and the promotional material.

      I had a friend go “yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now” like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I’ve ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can’t tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.

          Even a Cardassian like Damar eventually puts the logic together to realize that all the racism he and his fellow Cardassians were doing to Bajor, well, it ended up happening to them via the Dominion. You can almost watch the realization towards the end of S7 of DS9 where he realizes he will need to lead a resistance movement, which had previously contributed to the downfall of Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

          To miss the message of that show, even if you watch it from a Pro-Cardassian standpoint, takes real work. The themes are served to you on a silver platter for the taking.

    Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn’t magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).

        No, I meant Barbie in general.

        Before Barbies, dolls for girls were always baby dolls, and Barbies were part of the change that showed women can have careers and be more than homemakers.

        I thought we addressed that pretty well with during the opening “2001: A Space Odyssey” sequences.
