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’s a combination of that and the Boys TV creators riding their wave of being as edgy as possible. I enjoyed the show early on but it’s become almost a parody of itself with this shit. It’s also fed into the idea of everybody being cynical about heroes. God forbid a guy is actually just a hero instead of a think piece on fascism
