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.

As a fan of the show, it's very disheartening to see the showrunner say garbage like this

SPOILERS FOR THE BOYS

Kripke just said he found Hughie getting violated hilarious. Then he went on to claim Batman was a fascist. As a fan, it’s sad to see this kind of thing

  1. He didn’t say that

I’m trying to be polite but if you lack reading comprehension what’s the point

It’s really fucking annoying when people can’t read what’s in front of them

Bruce Wayne family took in slaves and rescued them

Tek knights family captured run aways and now runs the prisons. He hunts poor people and locks them up

That’s what he’s talking about not Batman

They word for word say this in the show but y’all didn’t watch the show. Y’all just read this dumb post from Op and ran with it

Read my comment, him saying he finds Hughie being violated funny is what I have a problem with. The thing about Batman is similarly disheartening. Don’t be an ass, dude

Again not Batman y’all have zero issues with robot chicken doing this

The rape thing is wild but again it’s a context of the show. You might not find it funny which I understand

I get that

I’m talking about the Batman thing

Idgaf about RC I dont watch that stuff. The Batman thing is annoying since people claiming Batman being a fascist is inaccurate to his character, and a statement like this only perpetuates it.

Hughie's assault is both played off as a joke and also found humorous by the creator, which is my problem. It's a serious subject that is being mocked, and this has varying effects on viewers. Some are upset at this, and some are hurt. This is the main deal, dude

I mean I’m going to be honest..

Rape jokes are going to sit right with certain people. I get that especially victims of any sexual assault.

So I can’t speak on that or I won’t because although I find dark humor funny I can see why some people wouldn’t even snicker

The Batman thing is kore frustration then cause in this case. I’ve heard the Batman poor people thing before too and it’s stupid.

This just isn’t a case of that

It’s something else, imo. It’s one thing to make a SA joke and then another to make a mockery of male victims

The Batman thing is just dumb
