Some are just starting to figure that out; there was a reddit thread this past week where a guy was totally on board with what Blue Hawk did at the community centre, which outed him as a nazi sympathizer and caused him to delete his account after everyone and their mom started in on him.

Some are still at the "boy, this superhero show is starting to get political" stage, three seasons in.

Yeah the not good people as I'll call them are starting to catch on the show is not meant for them. Like Kody said they're suddenly starting to complain about it being "politcal" guess I didn't really have anything to add just funny to see the right get angry about a show

Fixed.

The Boys: Diabolical (the cartoon shorts) are a fantastic bloody mess that expands the universe. I recall there are some youtube shorts, but I haven't seen them yet.

I always like when they turn the whole 'superhero' trope on its head. Watchmen was so great with that. Heard some good things about The Boys.

I love the Boys. Granted, this season it did seem to go after the alt-right a lot harder than the past seasons. I mean they did through out the show. But it seems like the first two seasons were testing the waters and season three let them go full swing because of the popularity I guess.

You would just have to watch the show to see what I mean. A good example would be them attacking the alt-right for the first two seasons was like the Girl empowerment of Hidden figures. Its there, but not in your face about it and it was done honorably I guess. Season three was Girl empowerment more in line of Super Girl or the Charlie's Angels remake. VERY in your face and often straight up offensive.

If that makes any kind of sense. Again, I think you would understand once you see it.

Have you seen Supergirl or the new Charlies angels? Both attack men or make them weak to try to boost women up. Which, honestly that just shows the opposite.

I finally stopped watching Supergirl when something effected Superman, but not Supergirl for some stupid thrown together reason all to make it seem she was more powerful than Superman. Is she? who knows and I don't care. But pushing one group down to make your group seem more powerful is bad writing and just proves you don't know how to show the true greatness of what you are trying to highlight.

And my point with Hidden Figures is a great example of female empowerment. They show that women, BLACK women can be smart and capable hard working people without having to resort in making the men idiots. Granted that one dude from Big Bang theory was a jerk, but they didn't dumb him down to make them look smart. No, they made him look smart, but them smarter. THATs how you do empowerment.

Just because you made the topic, doesn't mean you had any plans of watching it.

Yes.

If that was your take away, maybe you need to re-examine your life.

This is an excellent suggestion, any idea when the new season is coming out?

Buddy, you know theres countless articles, podcasts, and other sources that point this out in both of these things right? The only people who don't see it are the same people who think Amber Heard should have won since Johnny winning hurt the MeToo movement.
