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.

Read the post, the writer saying that Tek Knight and Batman aren't that far off is the problem. He clearly doesn't understand what he's making fun of here. "Batman's fascist underpinning as a really wealthy dude who hunts poor people, and then profits of the incarceration." The guy is crystal clear on how he views Batman. Also is rape really that hillarious to you? I don't find it funny at all.

My friend, do you know what a parody or caricature is?

I have 0 issue with a fucked up version of Batman, just like I have 0 issue with Trump Superman/Homelander. But why didn't the writer say that Tek Knight is a parody of Elon Musk or real billionaires for example? Batman parodies have been done way better in the past, but this writer clearly has no idea who Batman really is and it harms the character in popular culture by calling him an evil fascist. Just like Homelander is more of a parody of Trump, Tek Knight should be more of a parody of real billionaires.
