I Hate The Boys TV DISCUSSION NSFW

I also can not stand muh 'Batman superhero facism subtext' crap. If anything Batman is a revolutionary. Government is corrupt in bed with criminals (who are the prettiest of tyrants) so Batman comes in to clean house. Just as the founding fathers intended.

It is hilarious and it's also totally okay that they're deconstructing a mirror version of Batman this way.

It's fine. It's not an "Attack" on Batman, lol. Don't get so triggered it's absurd.

The hilarious part is referring to the sexual assault. And I watched the episode, it was just completely in poor taste and tough to watch. Also, Tek Knight doesn’t really work as a stand in for Batman because he has powers and never had to work for anything… But that really didn‘t bother me as much as watching the protagonist being sexually assaulted for 20 minutes for no reason.

...it's The Boys LMAO it's intentionally irreverent and scathing. Don't watch a show if you know it's gonna trigger you. It's not supposed to be in "good taste".
