@oomfgpt @V00UGHTS@ashstabbath In the fiction there’s no way to hold a meta human like him accountable if he doesn’t wanna be and he clearly doesn’t wanna be. The only punishment for someone so powerful is death anything else really is theatrics
@V00UGHTS @oomfgpt @ashstabbath I would hate him the same and not care if he died. This is the fundamental disagreement you’ll show sympathy to loathsome men if they’ve got a tragic Naruto style backstory. I will not because the world had a bad day too and you don’t see us all being ego maniacal babies
@oomfgpt @V00UGHTS@ashstabbath Well it explicitly is him being punished. He is but a pawn and the real issue is vought that was also true in the comics. He’s written despicably in both cases so the audience is okay with him being brutally killed in both cases.
@V00UGHTS @oomfgpt @ashstabbath Plenty rich kids especially from his era got their ass kicked by their dads real bad. And we have some quotes of his father not saying kind things. Also trump clearly really really wants to be liked
@V00UGHTS @oomfgpt @ashstabbath He opposed it but became sympathetic once he realized there were people unironically into the bs his character would say. Ig it could be also to keep the job and participating kinda lets his general political leanings be known . But he is on record being okay with the finale
@oomfgpt @V00UGHTS@ashstabbath They’re not the same because we dnt have a full picture of trump’s childhood. But I think the show does a good job of not letting him get away with anything despite his tragic upbringing. We need more of that especially for male characters in fiction
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath Yeah it’s not the greatest show. I think making him so pathetic in the end works perfectly because that’s sorta true to life when strong men are dethroned.
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath They latch onto stuff and mix in with neutrals or moderates who are largely apathetic and they become the face of your fandom/audience. But as a piece of satire it works fine it has a point to make and real life parallels so it has accomplished its goals. Not liking the show is🤷🏽♂️
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath In the comics vought ultimately won too. The boys is an edgy “everything is shit and nothing ever actually changes” kind of satirical send up from a guy who claimed to hate super hero comics. I can’t blame him for trying to make it explicit his stuff isn’t for the right.
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath Institutions that the right worship such as large corporations are the biggest villains in this series truly. And the looming up to “great men” like Reagan or Friedman and Hayek are clear political parallels to the right wanting to worship and gain favor with those above them.
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath Then you kno what the OP means. You know traditionalists and their institutions aren’t that far from the mania of homelander only restrained by the few checks and balances built into our govt. this is why the satire hits at all and why the dimmest among the right identify homelan
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath You’re delusionally buying the traditionalist press release. The traditionalists elected the fairly erratic idiot we have as president now. This is the crux of the issue you take them at their word instead of at their actual actions. This like 2010 Reddit political insight
@V00UGHTS@ashstabbath So you’re channeling your compulsions toward calorie counting for something that won’t leave you in an early grave. Great. Why ru playing silly in this thread?
@D_Polta@adspends@JacksonFromTwit You’re not dating them you dnt kno that side of them. Good that ur kind to ur friends and vouch for their character generally tho
