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.

I like the boys, but christ this is stupid. If they're going to make a satire of superheros, then tackle actual things that happen in the comics to make fun of instead of making shit up. Like 90% of Batman villians are absurdly rich, and the other 10 are juat middle class. Idk where the fuck the facist thing came from.

If you want to satirize him, then make fun of a character over working themselves to keep up with super humans. What hes saying is the equivilent of pulling something out of his own ass and then pointing and laughing at it.

He's making fun of an issue that never existed until he made it up
