Fun fact, his entire career exists because of one lucky booster pack of magic the gathering cards he opened on camera.
It’s a really unfortunate cosmic lottery that we all lost.
On the plus side he went to a convention and got punched for his trouble, that was fun.
I know the story! Here's the short version:
He started a harassment campaign against Christine Sprankle ( mtg cosplayer) that got him on wizards of the coast's radar and would stream himself calling her a whore and a slut non stop. So we all mass reported his DCI number (it's a card you get to play competitive mtg) and he got a lifetime ban. Then he started coming after other mtg pro players and streamers because they called him out for being a POS. He then went on to slander a bunch of them by saying they look like pedos or have "pussy lips" and made a bunch of shit up about other people. Then he started a fight with the world's nicest dude (tolarian community college aka professor aka Brian) and sent a harassment campaign against him because Brian stood up for the people Jeremy was harassing.
Then the punch was a result of Jeremy continuously threatening to show up to GP Las Vegas (even though he's banned from events and can't compete) to cause drama and start shit with professor who was going to be there. So Jeremy shows up with his droogs of neckbeards, gets kicked out for being a POS and then goes to some bar where someone recognized him and punched him. Thankfully someone filmed it and we all rejoiced.
The only reason I know this is because at the time I was working at a mtg store and he started to come after some of my people and me but he blocked me real fast after I made fun of him on Twitter for it.
As a fellow mtg enthusiast at that time I can corroborate all the things said here.
I want to mention that the magic community has a small militant minority that is diametrically opposed to the general magic community: it’s an alt right antiwoke hate filled incel cesspool. It has its own subreddit and everything.
The fact this fuckstick actually found “success” being a genre culture weirdo is shameful. He’s always been a low effort nobody and it proves the right wing outrage machine is devoid of anything of value.
Yeah now he's just an alt right grifter and after he got banned he pretended he cared about rooting out sex offenders in order to make WOTC look bad. He never cared about rooting out sex offenders to protect people he solely did it to try to get back at WOTC. He's a garbage pail kid.
I used to watch this guy (yeah, mea culpa). If there was ever an IRL example of 8 Charisma, he’s it.
Edit: I think I should elaborate: that’s not 8/10, that’s DnD scale where 10 is “the most average”. Jeremy is a profoundly boring man.
Three seasons of the show, 16 years of the comic, but they're *just now* getting it. And they're dumb enough to angrily post about how it all went over their heads.
It's like the right wing pindicks who never bothered to listen to Rage Against the Machine's lyrics and think they just recently "went woke." It's a whole extra layer of comedy.
They also said they made gambit gay by giving him a midriff shirt. He's been gay since waaayyy before 97. Maybe not canonically, but c'mon, that dudes gay as hell.
Yeah, I was going to mention RATM. They literally listened to a band talking about racism, Native American right, political and social injustice, and so on, then only realised they were on the "left" when someone told them to oppose those things. Chances are, half these chuds never even watched the show and are reacting to the creators telling them they were being mocked, and the other half are joining in because they're incapable of original thoughts.
Next up: what happens when they actually learn the lyrics to Born In The USA and Fortunate Son and discover that they're really, really not patriotic anthems.
I guess to be fair, this season of The Boys has been incredibly over the top blunt about exactly who it’s making fun of. Seems like it finally got obvious enough for them to notice
Or Green Day lol.
They alter a lyric from the song American Idiot [changed “redneck agenda” to “MAGA agenda”] and the righties went nuts.
Bro. It’s from the *twenty fucking year old* album American Idiot. That came out during GWBs first term in office. Where the fuck have your ears been, up your arse?
The Boys was originally a comic book, yes.
That said, it’s dogshit, pure pizza cutter content i.e. all edge, no point.
Screenwriters worked magic to make the show great despite the source material
Watched a video on it. The author hates superheroes. He likes batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman, and that's it. He thinks superheroes as a genre ruined comics. The boys is basically a self insert fantasy, where he gets to take "revenge" on the superhero genre. You know how in the show they have some hesitation about taking the superhero drug because it's hypocritical to say we can have powers they can't? They take the drug in the comic, but there's no sense of irony it's OK for the boys but bad for the super heroes. It's just filled with a sense of hatred and self insert that while I'm sure when it was made was groundbreaking, knowing its history today makes it hard to read.
Yeah, The Boys all start off powered and Hughie is forcibly administered V in his first outing.
The rest of it is just mean-spirited and pure edgelord bs, shocking it isn’t even the worst of the things of that vein ennis has written
His Punisher run is widely regarded as one of the better ones the character has had, so this specific run for this specific character, yeah.
As the character is more grounded and not a cape, it’s a lot more cohesive a story.
From my understanding he’s written war/military comics that are pretty solid.
Conservatives themselves are not the machine you doofus. Its the social hierarchy and the establishment. Or are you really telling me some hick in his truck is "the machine".
Nuance and media literacy = 0. Im not gonna try and convince you since you cant think for yourself at all. I already said the machine is not political. Senators dont give a fuck about you on either side. The rich and wall street dont give a fuck. Youll never get true equality until you stop playing their game.
Both American parties are conservative lmao. One is just like fashy and the other is liberal capitalist. The rich and wall street... Oh you mean _fucking capitalists???_ Not political lmao
I agree with you that both american parties are in effect conservative esp on a global scale (am not american) but one acts like it isnt. See were on the same thing. Im just saying all this splitting the people with dumb bs that doesnt matter to distract from the real inequalities is the machine, but that the machine doesnt have to be conservative and that labeling it that makes it seem like only half the government is the problem when its basically all of them, which distracts from the real issues.
>I agree with you that both american parties are in effect conservative esp on a global scale (am not american) but one acts like it isnt.
Being completely fair, they _genuinely believe_ they're not conservative. They're laughably wrong, but it's a genuinely held belief.
But I disagree with the rest of your comment. The real inequalities _are a result of conservatism_. Conservatism is what is responsible for maintaining and enforcing those inequalities. Like if you want to say that labeling _republicans_ as the only problem is wrong I'd agree with that. We should absolutely shit on the democrats as well (though not equally, republicans are genuinely much much worse).
But I think it's both true and important to call out _conservatism_, in both the fashy republicans and the liberal capitalist democrats as the problem.
I see where youre coming from but everyone that lets themselves be brainwashed that one side good one side evil, is conserving the machine. No senator or wall street cares about you. Even the ones may have meant well get corrupted over time because theyre a class by themselves. Always remember the picture of wall street laughing at people protesting in the 2008 crash. The ultra rich and oligarchs and authoritative systems in general are the machine. Different places in different times had machines or are you gonna tell me that the soviet union wasnt also "the machine" there and then?
I think you’re completely missing the point. I’m not saying conservatives are evil, ofc the ruling class tries to create an us bs them but I’m not engaging or talking about that in the slightest. I’m saying those oligarchs and shit heads on Wall Street have the backing of conservatives. Being conservative is actively trying to keep the systems we are under in place. It’s literally in the name. Conservative: adverse to change and holds traditional values. I’m not saying that conservatives are the machine, I’m saying they empower it and prop it up in a multitude of ways.
Ok but what im saying is the average non brainwashed conservative doesnt like wallstreet anymore than the average leftist and that nearly all leftist politicians only portray themselves as against wall street and the social order but they use the same tax codes that enrich them and everyone else in that system but dont change them for personal gain. So i do get what youre saying but im saying its all a bullshit facade for 99% of high class politicians. And conservative voters mostly want "freedom" tradition and in the end justice too so if they didnt put it in left and right black and white terms most conservatives are also for these kinds of reform even tho theyre conservative. I hope you get my point at least. You dont have to agree with me
There were people actively rooting for Homelander after all, everything is possible.
Like the guys that think Patrick Bateman is the definition of a cool guy.
Yeah, I've heard of this guy because of him being mocked on Reddit, but I would never watch anything that looks like this. Even if I accidentally click on something objectionable I make sure it's deleted from my history, so I rarely get to see stuff to block like this anyway.
Lol is he just NOW realizing that The Boys is woke? It’s been woke since the beginning! These are the kinds of people who think Homelander is a hero and that the Punisher would support the local PD.
Dude knows exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't care, because acting dumb makes him money.
Jeremy has no integrity or a backbone. And that's how he wins the game.
In a lot of ways, he reminds me of Ashley in the show, just without all the feistiness.
No. I actually doubt they even watch the show. It's purely monetary. Their income relies on making reactionary anti-woke videos to their bigoted viewers who have no identity. When it's not politics, it's media.
Just this past year alone they went from grifting Star Wars to Disney Pixar to "Miles Morales isn't Spider-Man" to "Yasuke wasn't a real Samurai" back to Star Wars and now to The Boys. Whatever is in the current popular culture gets their attention. I wonder what the next thing will be.
I’m unsure about other people for me the issue has never been so called “wokeism”. My main issues with the writing in the current season is the clear mimicry of real life political discourse and events. The Boys has always had politics as it’s base, the show couldn’t exist without the internal political discussions regarding superheroes. I was a fan of the surreal early writing regarding politics. I watch media as a form of escapism as many people do. I don’t want to be inundated with the same issues I face in my day to day life in my fictional media. That’s my two cents. I do understand that a significant amount of criticism is pretty actively dogshit.
Do you not remember the episode where they very blatantly reference the Charlottesville protests? I thought that was pretty clear mimicry of current events….
I didn’t mean to imply that NO real life parallels have been present in The Boys. They certainly have been. I was more so pointing out how the parallels are growing to a dominating point. I may have worded that poorly.
Apparently Eric Kripke said that they made it more on the nose this season because so many MAGA’s weren’t getting the message. They were actually forming a narrative that “the boys” were the characters that supported their cause.
Yea I could see that. Sometimes shows have you rooting for the "bad guy" because it's too obvious that everyone is against them and they are a strong character. The underdog mentality kicks in.
Even though I hate woke shit in general, am very much on Jeremy's side of the Culture War (...sadly, hate his lazy content and smugness), I love The Boys.
Its a perfect example how a show can be political and woke, while also being amazing. Hell, I think its better than the source material.
Are some lines and actions a little on the nose? Yes.
Do I care? No. Homelander is the actual piece of shit lefties thing D.J.T. is. Just let them cook with this show.
It excells in emotional drama, it really makes you invest in characters, and isn't afraid to show how broken people can get from the horrible side of life.
Like, people complain about Frenchie suddenly being into dudes, but honestly, I always read him as bi. It might have been a tad rushed, but what his relationship with Colin really is about, is having Frenchie face the actual evil shit he did in the past. And now he needs to face it. *THATS* what I love about The Boys.
Homelander is the level of piece of shit lefties think D.J.T. is, then. Homelander is actually evil, while Trump isn't. Thats what I mean.
Sure, Trump can be an asshole at times, and straight up wrong in some cases (vaccines don't cause autism...), but he did more good than harm during his presidency. Even as a non-American I can see that.
Then again, I don't have your mainstream-media to tell me whats good or bad and real or fake. And I like to keep it that way. I can think for myself.
Oh no, someone doesn't agree with me. I better call them brain washed and bring up something that I think makes my point more valid while it actually makes me look more stupid. Also I better talk about what Trump did and not about what he is doing right now
Not only do they have it, it would be silly if they didn't.
He can't go around and shoot people, there are processes to sue even a president.
What their inmunity is about, is their classified duties as a president.
But sure, we can sue Obama for killing American sitizens, if you want presidents not to have certain immunities from the law.
Yea fair. Warp speed /was/ a good thing, other than the name lol. It is so fucking ironic though, that once he’s not president, he points at that operation and goes “that’s why you can’t trust the vaccine! they rushed!” Like my guy, YOU announced that operation!!
Oh the name is dumb but government "operation" names are basically always either dumb or way way way too verbose so whatever
And yes everything he has said about it after actually doing it is terrible. At least it kept him from going 100% vaccine denier (because he couldn't handle having to call something he did bad, which would be required for that)
It is basically using the money of people to pay off the loans of others. You could call that vile. You can certainly call it stealing in a way, since it wasn't approved by the other governmental bodies.
Actually, universal healthcare isn't such a bad thing.
You should allow companies to make their own healthcare insurances and stuff still, but I think the government should have an option for it.
Its not my biggest issue, but I do live in a country where we have the worst side of both worlds; the government requires everyone to have a healthcare insurance, but they don't provide one of their own. This leaves companies to pick up the task, and they do some back room handshake deals to keep the market from becoming competative. Its fucking horrible-
Now, should eeeeeevery medical-like thing fall under universal? No. I don't want to pay for some botox in some influencer-girl's lips.
For almost all of them; yeah, New York courts, like they will treat Trump fairly. Many of the alligations are outright lies.
The last two though; why s3x? Trump wtf that was not a funny joke-
Now, that he got money from having hotel properties in different countries and letting diplomats stay there... idk. Would I let them stay there? I mean, why not? If they want to spend money in my businesses, sure. But it does seem unwise on a political level.
It's been about a decade, and they still haven't figured out that soy products *lower* estrogen levels. "Soy boy" will remain forever hilarious; it means the literal opposite of what they think it does. All because they are too stupid/too lazy to fact check anything.
It’s crazy to me that this group didn’t understand that they were being made fun through satire the whole time. I get it, people aren’t the brightest. The part that i absolutely cannot understand in the slightest is how they didn’t know Homelander was the villain. That takes a whole new level of stupid to not get that.
Or, it just reveals a whole new level of evil. Imagine watching him intentionally crash an airplane full of people all because he accidentally killed a few, and didn't want to leave the rest as witnesses...and their take-away was, "Of course. I would have done the same."
Or….and stay with me here…they are just being like this for views.
I swear most or all of these YouTube grifters don’t believe the shit they come out with.
Not crazy to me. Right wingers are fundamentally stupid so this sort of moment is super common. Add to that the fact that their actually intelligent leaders are manipulating them all the way. Just look at the idiotic right wing cartoon ripoffs of actual good shows
That, and because Homelander is a mockery of the American Right Wing, but it took 4 whole seasons for them to throw subtlety though the window and portray him as such in a explicit manner.
> Homelander is a mockery of the American Right Wing
To you. To me, its just Superman if the US military gotten a hold of him. (Or Red Son but American)
Haven't watched this but your comment made me remember Flashpoint and how that exact scenario happened in an alternate timeline after The Flash went back in time. Basically the US gvmt experimented on him for years and kept him isolated in some bunker away from any sunlight. He was tortured and traumatized so he thought Flash and his team (Cyborg, Thomas Wayne and not sure who else) were there to harm him.
DESTROYED by brigading the audience score nopony trusts anyway!
In fact, they're so destroyed they're raking in huge actual audience numbers you can't fake by stirring up incel anger on 4chan. Take that, soy woke groomer racial-slurs!
^(... /s just to be extra careful)
A yes, I highly value the opinion of the man who pissed on his floor out of anger at his wife as well as willingly telling the story about the time he shat himself in a Target store.
> You DISINGENUOUS, DENSE motherfucker! Obviously you have to know something about something or you COULDN'T TIE YOUR SHOES!
- DarkViperAU to the Quartering, 2020
Glad to know this guy still doesn't know anything about anything.
I’m more upset at how stale/ directionless the boys has become as well as decreasing dialogue quality (although that’s been a common theme in Hollywood for a while now). Season 1 really perfected that overwhelming, omniscient MegaCorp hell where Vought felt more like a nefarious Big Brother in cahoots with the government.
Homelander imo is really carrying the show since he’s the only one that can still project that sense of dread but I don’t trust them to not whiff his character development. Seems like they care more about “owning MAGA” than putting together a good show this season.
His entire job is making clickbait thumbnails to put on his zero effort videos, you’d think he would’ve gotten it down by now.
Fun fact, his entire career exists because of one lucky booster pack of magic the gathering cards he opened on camera. It’s a really unfortunate cosmic lottery that we all lost. On the plus side he went to a convention and got punched for his trouble, that was fun.
Can you or anyone else explain how that made him "famous" did he get a super rare card?
It was two statistically rare cards back to back, odds were pretty staggering. Probably worth an easy grand at the time.
Please tell us more why he got punched, it sounds awesome!
I forget the details but it was around the time that he harassed a cosplayer out of the community and everyone hated his expansive guts
Have you seen his face? It is incredibly punchable.
Holy shit, it really is
I know the story! Here's the short version: He started a harassment campaign against Christine Sprankle ( mtg cosplayer) that got him on wizards of the coast's radar and would stream himself calling her a whore and a slut non stop. So we all mass reported his DCI number (it's a card you get to play competitive mtg) and he got a lifetime ban.

you, my friend, have a gift for storytelling.
I could write a book about bullshit from Jeremy at this point. That bitch called me a slut and made it personal.
Honestly,I would buy said book
Was it a Black Lotus? I don't really want to dignify him by trying to look it up myself.
Double Jace the Mind Sculptor, one foil. Much less valuable nowadays but it got eyes on his channel and it spiraled from there
And then I'd like to know about the punching
He’s only been punched the once? Shame.
I like everyone in this comment thread
It's a sad life.
I used to watch this guy (yeah, mea culpa). If there was ever an IRL example of 8 Charisma, he’s it. Edit: I think I should elaborate: that’s not 8/10, that’s DnD scale where 10 is “the most average”. Jeremy is a profoundly boring man.
I will understand how these people think that Media that ACTIVELY makes fun of them is on their side like how are you this dumb and Media illiterate
Three seasons of the show, 16 years of the comic, but they're *just now* getting it. And they're dumb enough to angrily post about how it all went over their heads. It's like the right wing pindicks who never bothered to listen to Rage Against the Machine's lyrics and think they just recently "went woke." It's a whole extra layer of comedy.
Just wait until they hear that X-Men is about civil rights.
I can't believe this comic from the 60s would suddenly go woke!
They did hear that during X-Men 97, they reacted by denying it and saying people were projecting civil rights onto the series.
They also said they made gambit gay by giving him a midriff shirt. He's been gay since waaayyy before 97. Maybe not canonically, but c'mon, that dudes gay as hell.
Yeah, I was going to mention RATM. They literally listened to a band talking about racism, Native American right, political and social injustice, and so on, then only realised they were on the "left" when someone told them to oppose those things.

"Everything I don't like is woke"
Or communist
Or both!
I guess to be fair, this season of The Boys has been incredibly over the top blunt about exactly who it’s making fun of. Seems like it finally got obvious enough for them to notice
And it only took 4 seasons. Honestly, I'm impressed that they finally got it.
Or Green Day lol. They alter a lyric from the song American Idiot [changed “redneck agenda” to “MAGA agenda”] and the righties went nuts. Bro. It’s from the *twenty fucking year old* album American Idiot. That came out during GWBs first term in office. Where the fuck have your ears been, up your arse?

Yeah, The Boys all start off powered and Hughie is forcibly administered V in his first outing. The rest of it is just mean-spirited and pure edgelord bs, shocking it isn’t even the worst of the things of that vein ennis has written
I'm told he did a good run for punisher, do you recommend it?
His Punisher run is widely regarded as one of the better ones the character has had, so this specific run for this specific character, yeah. As the character is more grounded and not a cape, it’s a lot more cohesive a story. From my understanding he’s written war/military comics that are pretty solid.
They also think Punisher is pro cop… These people have no media literacy at all
I mean, look at Rage Against the Machine. Conservatives somehow missed that they were the machine that was being raged against.
I thought Isabella Summers was the Machine.
Conservatives themselves are not the machine you doofus. Its the social hierarchy and the establishment. Or are you really telling me some hick in his truck is "the machine".
Conservatives are the ones who want to preserve the social hierarchy. Like, definitionally. That what being a conservative _means_.
Nuance and media literacy = 0. Im not gonna try and convince you since you cant think for yourself at all. I already said the machine is not political. Senators dont give a fuck about you on either side. The rich and wall street dont give a fuck. Youll never get true equality until you stop playing their game.

They’re saying that conservatives protect and you could say conserve the machine. They are it’s defenders in the general population
I see where youre coming from but everyone that lets themselves be brainwashed that one side good one side evil, is conserving the machine. No senator or wall street cares about you. Even the ones may have meant well get corrupted over time because theyre a class by themselves. Always remember the picture of wall street laughing at people protesting in the 2008 crash.

For freedom. For democracy. For Super Earth.
in general ultra conservatives are not known for their media literacy. if they were, there’s a good chance they’d be a *little* less extremist lol
Imagine seeing a thumbnail that hideous and actually clicking it.
Yeah, I've heard of this guy because of him being mocked on Reddit, but I would never watch anything that looks like this. Even if I accidentally click on something objectionable I make sure it's deleted from my history, so I rarely get to see stuff to block like this anyway.
About a decade ago he used to be somewhat sensible, but he slowly became increasingly insane
wait... we all did...
Lol is he just NOW realizing that The Boys is woke? It’s been woke since the beginning! These are the kinds of people who think Homelander is a hero and that the Punisher would support the local PD.
Dude knows exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't care, because acting dumb makes him money. Jeremy has no integrity or a backbone. And that's how he wins the game. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of Ashley in the show, just without all the feistiness.
Like firecracker

Yea it's been pretty on the nose wokeness but this season was particularly bad. Just abandoning storylines and characters for the cause.
Apparently Eric Kripke said that they made it more on the nose this season because so many MAGA’s weren’t getting the message. They were actually forming a narrative that “the boys” were the characters that supported their cause.
Yea I could see that. Sometimes shows have you rooting for the "bad guy" because it's too obvious that everyone is against them and they are a strong character. The underdog mentality kicks in.
Even though I hate woke shit in general, am very much on Jeremy's side of the Culture War (...sadly, hate his lazy content and smugness), I love The Boys. Its a perfect example how a show can be political and woke, while also being amazing. Hell, I think its better than the source material. Are some lines and actions a little on the nose? Yes. Do I care? No. Homelander is the actual piece of shit lefties thing D.J.T. is. Just let them cook with this show. It excells in emotional drama, it really makes you invest in characters, and isn't afraid to show how broken people can get from the horrible side of life. Like, people complain about Frenchie suddenly being into dudes, but honestly, I always read him as bi. It might have been a tad rushed, but what his relationship with Colin really is about, is having Frenchie face the actual evil shit he did in the past. And now he needs to face it. *THATS* what I love about The Boys.
Did you just say that D.J.T isn't an actual piece of shit? Have you listened to what shit he spreads
Homelander is the level of piece of shit lefties think D.J.T. is, then. Homelander is actually evil, while Trump isn't. Thats what I mean. Sure, Trump can be an asshole at times, and straight up wrong in some cases (vaccines don't cause autism...), but he did more good than harm during his presidency. Even as a non-American I can see that. Then again, I don't have your mainstream-media to tell me whats good or bad and real or fake. And I like to keep it that way. I can think for myself.
Oh no, someone doesn't agree with me. I better call them brain washed and bring up something that I think makes my point more valid while it actually makes me look more stupid. Also I better talk about what Trump did and not about what he is doing right now
Well, what *IS* he doing, besides being a victim of a corrupt legal system in NYC? ;)
Calling for all Presidents to have immunity. That pretty damn scary.
Not only do they have it, it would be silly if they didn't. He can't go around and shoot people, there are processes to sue even a president. What their inmunity is about, is their classified duties as a president. But sure, we can sue Obama for killing American sitizens, if you want presidents not to have certain immunities from the law.
Yes, but he is calling for full and absolute immunity in all circumstances which is a step too far imo.
Why does prosecuting someone for breaking felony laws = "corrupt"?
Because he didn't do them? Why else?
Well, since he did do them, that can't be your reasoning.
Thats the thing, he didn't though. If you are ever conficted for a crime, you know you didn't commit, are you going to accept that judgement?
He isn’t a victim, he’s legitimately guilty. He didn’t do anything good when he was president, unless you were rich.
Operation warp speed was good. Then he undermined it by being a vaccine skeptic of course, but in and of itself...
Yea fair. Warp speed /was/ a good thing, other than the name lol. It is so fucking ironic though, that once he’s not president, he points at that operation and goes “that’s why you can’t trust the vaccine! they rushed!” Like my guy, YOU announced that operation!!
Oh the name is dumb but government "operation" names are basically always either dumb or way way way too verbose so whatever And yes everything he has said about it after actually doing it is terrible. At least it kept him from going 100% vaccine denier (because he couldn't handle having to call something he did bad, which would be required for that)
[Calling student loan forgiveness "vile"](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-student-loan-debt-biden-b2565365.html)
It is basically using the money of people to pay off the loans of others. You could call that vile. You can certainly call it stealing in a way, since it wasn't approved by the other governmental bodies.
You're the type of person that is against universal healthcare
Actually, universal healthcare isn't such a bad thing. You should allow companies to make their own healthcare insurances and stuff still, but I think the government should have an option for it. Its not my biggest issue, but I do live in a country where we have the worst side of both worlds; the government requires everyone to have a healthcare insurance, but they don't provide one of their own. This leaves companies to pick up the task, and they do some back room handshake deals to keep the market from becoming competative. Its fucking horrible- Now, should eeeeeevery medical-like thing fall under universal? No. I don't want to pay for some botox in some influencer-girl's lips.
Convincing people like you he’s been wronged
Trump commits felony in New York: Surprised pikachu face when being criminally tried in New York:
Did he though?
Yes he did https://www.reddit.com/r/MarkMyWords/s/jwBnR79Lca
For almost all of them; yeah, New York courts, like they will treat Trump fairly. Many of the alligations are outright lies. The last two though; why s3x? Trump wtf that was not a funny joke- Now, that he got money from having hotel properties in different countries and letting diplomats stay there... idk. Would I let them stay there? I mean, why not? If they want to spend money in my businesses, sure. But it does seem unwise on a political level.
The boys has never been “woke”
Homelander is literally an allegory for trump lmao
The show has taken the piss out of people on the left and the right (at the minute more so people on the right but my point still stands)
Every superhero is woke dipshit it came free with the fucking concept of fighting social injustices
YOU HAVE UNO
NO I FUCKING DON’T I HAVE THE BOYS COMICS
Super heroes are fight wing imho, they always fight for the status quo
It’s not woke untill it gets absurd. Which I need to write down every example.
The Boys has been pretty aggressively left from the beginning
Honestly, I've never read it but he's kinda selling it.
The Soys is my favorite spinoff from The Boys.
He maybe shitty but that part is kinda funny
The Soys is a spinoff where the cast of The Boys tries to only eat soy and its derivatives for a month
It's been about a decade, and they still haven't figured out that soy products *lower* estrogen levels. "Soy boy" will remain forever hilarious; it means the literal opposite of what they think it does. All because they are too stupid/too lazy to fact check anything.
It’s crazy to me that this group didn’t understand that they were being made fun through satire the whole time. I get it, people aren’t the brightest. The part that i absolutely cannot understand in the slightest is how they didn’t know Homelander was the villain. That takes a whole new level of stupid to not get that.
Or, it just reveals a whole new level of evil. Imagine watching him intentionally crash an airplane full of people all because he accidentally killed a few, and didn't want to leave the rest as witnesses...and their take-away was, "Of course. I would have done the same."
These people also think Patrick Bateman is the hero. Not the brightest.
Honestly, he likes Phil Collins/Genesis…that’s good enough for me
Or….and stay with me here…they are just being like this for views. I swear most or all of these YouTube grifters don’t believe the shit they come out with.
I meant their audience, not the YouTubers themselves. There is a shockingly large number of people that didn’t realize Homelander was the villain.
Not crazy to me. Right wingers are fundamentally stupid so this sort of moment is super common. Add to that the fact that their actually intelligent leaders are manipulating them all the way. Just look at the idiotic right wing cartoon ripoffs of actual good shows
How does someone idolize Homelander… the guy is demented
The far/alt right in America love to idolize demented people
“*Gets* Woke” Another woosh moment from the intellectual right wing.
“Intellectual” and “right wing” have no business being together lol
^(I think that’s the joke)
[удалено]
My man didn’t even bother assembling the brain cells for this comment.
woke shit go broke
These morons never clocked that Homelander was always the bad guy.
If true then that's takes a complete lack of media awareness. As it has always been obvious Homelander is a cunt.
The modern American right and a complete lack of media awareness go hand in hand
Why is The Boys woke now apparently? Because Frenchie is bisexual? Didn’t french people create bisexuality?
That, and because Homelander is a mockery of the American Right Wing, but it took 4 whole seasons for them to throw subtlety though the window and portray him as such in a explicit manner.
> Homelander is a mockery of the American Right Wing To you. To me, its just Superman if the US military gotten a hold of him. (Or Red Son but American)
What would you say that ~~Stormfront,~~ sorry, *Liberty* is? The Boys is pretty explicit with its themes.
Not to mention *Soldier* Boy
Haven't watched this but your comment made me remember Flashpoint and how that exact scenario happened in an alternate timeline after The Flash went back in time. Basically the US gvmt experimented on him for years and kept him isolated in some bunker away from any sunlight. He was tortured and traumatized so he thought Flash and his team (Cyborg, Thomas Wayne and not sure who else) were there to harm him.
“The Soys” is actually kinda funny
DESTROYED by brigading the audience score nopony trusts anyway! In fact, they're so destroyed they're raking in huge actual audience numbers you can't fake by stirring up incel anger on 4chan. Take that, soy woke groomer racial-slurs! ^(... /s just to be extra careful)
who’s nopony?
Uh, "no pony", used in place of nobody. I don't know why people have started using these again but I like it.
Must be from the MLP fandom then, though I haven't heard this for a long time.
damn, i loved the soys :(
A yes, I highly value the opinion of the man who pissed on his floor out of anger at his wife as well as willingly telling the story about the time he shat himself in a Target store.
What’s wild is that “Woke” is just gay people existing now
Im confused. Hasn’t this show been calling them out since season 2. Why are they only mad now?
Because they were too stupid to understand it until subtly was completely thrown out the window and it smacked them in the face
The soys lol
> You DISINGENUOUS, DENSE motherfucker! Obviously you have to know something about something or you COULDN'T TIE YOUR SHOES! - DarkViperAU to the Quartering, 2020 Glad to know this guy still doesn't know anything about anything.
That guy obviously knows nothing about anything. I doubt he could even tie his shoes.
yo wtf is in your youtube feed
The soys
THE SOYS lol
Bro was looking at the wrong show, it currently has a 75% audience score
Damn, hard to believe he was originally just a mid MtG Tuber.

Friendly reminder that r/thequarteringisanazi
This thumbnail is giving me sensory overload wth is going on
Can they enjoy literally anything or is their whole existence just - who am I kidding, they’re losers
Channels like that, are the cancer of YouTube
Yea, I'm glad I caught onto his shitty videos. Just a man-child crying about something.
Ah yes the Quartering, he honestly knows nothing about nothing, it should be considered a miracle if he can tie his shoes.
One might even call him a disingenuous dense... uh... person who might have engaged in sexual acts with his maternal parent
Any review that uses the word "woke" immediately loses my attention.
I love how these incels leave themselves nothing to enjoy.
A Woke: The Soy's Disaster sounds like a movie he'd make
RLM made fun of it perfectly with the “WOKE?!?? GOOGLY EYES!!!” Joke, they shit specifically on this brand of absolute loser
Hoping this buzz topic fades away quickly. Both sides are annoying af.
THATS THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF THE BOYS
Wait till he finds out that it was always woke and that people like him were just too dumb to realize
The Boys GETS NAKED and MASTURBATES! Creator GROPES a flight attendant…
I'm 100% lost what the fuck does soy mean? I mean it's stupid but I wanna know
A woke the disaster soys
Awoke the soys, disaster.”
I’m more upset at how stale/ directionless the boys has become as well as decreasing dialogue quality (although that’s been a common theme in Hollywood for a while now). Season 1 really perfected that overwhelming, omniscient MegaCorp hell where Vought felt more like a nefarious Big Brother in cahoots with the government. Homelander imo is really carrying the show since he’s the only one that can still project that sense of dread but I don’t trust them to not whiff his character development. Seems like they care more about “owning MAGA” than putting together a good show this season.
Anyone have a clip of him getting punched in the face. I used to follow him during the start of mxrs demonetization era but always found him .. whiney
These whiney snowflakes have no godamn idea who Garth Ennis is man, it's sad.
i thought this guy would've had a heart attack by now.
I was almost as disappointed as when I found out Rage Against the Machine was political.
"What machine did you think they were raging against? The washing machine!"
When you forget the /s
Problem is many people are dumb enough to say utter bullshit unironically.
Yeah, I've done that before. No worries, man, I think you made yourself pretty clear!
Thing is, it still kinda works...
YouTuber critics are a joke anyway. Except for CinemaWins ofc
As much as I want more people to hate the boys….. I didn’t mean like this
The boys was boring after the first season. Making it woke doesnt make it anymore interesting.
I was actually thinking about watching that show. Thanks for the warning!
That's fair, better not watch it. You wouldn't understand it.
