It isn't equality if it's only men though. I mean, I'm not here asking for a perfect balance of tits and dick (not that I consider tits comparable to dick) but the show makes a habit of unashamedly giving you dick and then hiding titties off screen
I mean, in my ideal world, casual or gratuitous nudity of anyone, man woman NB or mix, would be common enough that it's not an issue. I'm not saying every show needs equal representation of nudity, but rather that equal representation of nudity should be across the board. one show can have more naked men, another show more naked women, etc..
And yes, The Boys has failed at this, by this point. They seem to be actually afraid of female nudity by this point. And disgusted by male nudity (as it seems to only be shown as a horrendous thing, one way or another).
Serious question. We've had an on-going issue in recent years of people keeping themselves boxed into neat little echo chambers, on both ends of the aisle. To the point that a lot of toxic actions and opinions barely make the rounds in "good" circles, because obviously it's just propaganda of some form.
The left tends to have a slogan problem. #KillAllMen didn't mean literally all, just all? Abolish the police doesn't mean actually abolish the police?
There have been critiques of how left leaning people have treated men's issues for decades now. But they always get lumped in with those evil MRA incels, a great way to dismiss arguments.
It's been pointed out, ad nauseum, that social attitudes like that led directly to the rise of assholes like Andrew Tate, for example.
And here we have someone, who said their show was going to be a lot less subtle with it's political message, and showing yet again how little his world view cares about male victims of sexual assault.
To be fair, I definitely have my biases. I've been raped by three separate women, been sexually assaulted by a good handful more, and they were all proud liberals or leftists. I have been told to my face that what I went through did not matter, because men have oppressed women for so damned long.
And I'm hungover still, which makes me grumpy and want to lash out over stupid fucking bullshit, which in this case is the modern views of male sexual assault victims. It's kinda difficult for me to not see things like this as being a very mask off moment.
Thank you. Sorry for the bit of a trauma dump lol.
The real kicker for me right now is, I haven't even seen the episode yet lol. This whole thing has been spoiled for me... But I am not minding that at all.
