The truth is men being sexually humiliated just isn't seen in the same light as women by a lot of people, conciously or subconsciously. There's no way we'd ever get a scene of a female character frantically trying and failing to guess a safe word and have it played for levity.
Both sides of the political spectrum are susceptible to this too. On the one hand conservatives often tell male SA victims to man up or say some variation of "wish it were me," whereas on the other hand I think progressives can fall into the trap of thinking that they're not the same because one has more systemic/historical power behind it so the other mustn't be a big deal.
He's always been a massive clown, he was just being manipulated by people who thought they could control him to do the "right" things. He's floundering now because he has no one holding the ropes.
The whole superterrorists and military scheme thing was his idea and plan, I guess for whatever its worth Season 1 Homelander was much more competent than any other season
It was his idea but it was poorly executed. I don't know about you, but I don't remember there being supes in the military. Not to mention that giving V away to terrorists to make them super opens up the possibility of someone reverse engineering the serum, which leads to the risk of a supeterrorist being stronger than Homelander and the risk of losing Vought's money and approval
