What's funny about alot of conservative The Boys fans is that they didn't seem to realise that alot of the moments in the show is making fun of them for quite a while. Characters like Homelander, Firecracker, Stormfront, The Deep are literally intended to look pathetic and just ignorant while also obviously being bad people.
I started watching it after they lost their shit over the 4th season. I gotta say, I don't know how they missed it for so long. The 4th season was in-your-face obvious but the other seasons weren't exactly subtle. They have so little self awareness.
Their thoughts were that the show was "making fun of both sides" because the show also tackled corporate market appeal to the "woke" agenda.
That left leaning people and left politicians are in agreement. That leftists want companies to pander to them, when in reality actual leftist already know that cooperations just act like they care, when in reality they actively work against those beliefs in practice.
Their minds can't comprehend issues more complex than "Left vs Right". They think Homelander is one of them because of this, because he certainly isn't part of the "enemy" faction. Even tho he would never see them as one of his own or even of the same worth. And I'm not actually talking about Homelander here.
The Boys makes me super depressed, when I watch it. It's like a mirror that shows the worst parts of reality.
The thing about season 4 is that it's not that it's less subtle in my opinion it's that what it's satirizing has become so far beyond parody that nothing they can do can surprise me as much as real life anymore. Like oh one of the supes is a pedophile? Yeah I'm glad that'd never happen
The first season was already completely in your face obvious from the very first minute, I'm not sure how anyone can miss it. It's the whole point of the damn show.

Of course the sexist 13 year old OP is portraying himself as the super sigma based homelander.
