    Possible spoilers ahead I watched 2.5 seasons so far

    Look I can honestly say that’s possibly what you can take away from the series as an illiterate reactionary. The “”“based”“” character is bad and the others are the good guys.

    But the show is lib as fuck (though good for a mainstream corporate produced TV show).

    Acknowledging the CIA is bad and involved in selling drugs to black communities in one scene? Really good

    Making the CIA the good guys because the more fash fascists are even worse than the American empire? Bad.

    If “radlib Snyder” is too far left for these people, then they might be beyond saving.

      The only thing I know about The Boys is that, as it went on, the writers didn’t like chuds latching onto Homelander in a “Tyler Durden” kind of way, so the longer the series goes the more overt and explicit the politics get until I think Season 4 where they finally reached the point at which chuds realized they were the ones being made fun of.
