Literally in the first season Homelander (the villain of the show) comes down posed like Jesus on the cross onto a Christian Fundamentalist festival and makes a speech ripped right from the religious right
No. A show where one of the main characters literally wears an American flag as part of his costume and regularly murders people to cover up his crimes, to "save" other people, or to just get what he wants, is certainly not in any way a commentary on American foreign policy.
LOL "The presence of Nazis isnt an indication something is political."
Yes, right, correct, the inclusion of a genocidally violent political organization is, uh, somehow not political.
>I wonder what counts as Political in this guys mind. LOL
Two races: white and "political"
Two genders: Male and "political"
Two sexualities: straight and "political"
See, the Nazi zombie is an allegory for the fact that despite the fact that Nazism should have died in 1945 (or 1950 at the very latest) it is still very much alive and still spreading and so despite that fact that we shouldn't have to hear about them in a non historical context nowadays, we saddly still have to fight them back.
"One could argue that it's a metaphor for the brainwashing of nazism," - I mean, you kinda answered your own question here. Saying "It's COD" doesn't really nullify that. It's a whole ass game that had planning, conceptualizing, direction, art, programming, and all other aspect of game design and production included in it. One guy can't just go drinking one night and create a whole game being in a drunken stuppor unless we're talking about games from the 80's. So yeah, there's some thought put into it. And I'll be damned if the inclusion of Nazi's wasn't thought of.
It's cognitive dissonance. They're unconsciously dismissing any criticisms of their worldview because they can't deny that it's a fantastic show. If they accept that the show is good then they can't simultaneously accept that it's making fun of them. Either it's just an "apolitical" show about superheroes or it's "equally making fun of the right and the left."
For it to qualify as cognitive dissonance I think their brain has to be able to recognize the contradictions. I think the reason most of them miss the critique is just straight stupidity
i havent watched the two newest seasons but they literally have a plot line where they plant ‘WMDs’ in random middle east countries so Homelander can go kill a bunch of brown people lol
If you think a suburban Texan is a redneck, you probably don’t know what a redneck is. Redneck is a lifestyle, not a state of origin. There are rednecks in Massachusetts and suburbanites in Texas.
I always loved how the boys mocks all right wingers, from the moderate conservatives, to the inbred conspiracy theorists to the extreme fascists and neo-nazis. Also the show has zero subtlety so I have no idea how people missed it.

Yeah and they liked that speech. What a wholesome Christian show.

Why is the left always trying to make Nazis so political? /s
I wish I could find it now, but a very long time ago someone on Twitter accused me of "politicizing" MLK Day. This reminded me of that lol.

"The presence of Nazis isnt an indication something is political." I wonder what counts as Political in this guys mind. LOL
A trans, probably.
Black people.
Movie about Black People having a bbq and minding their own business EnlightenedCentrist: This movie is too political!

This was my first thought! Like what sort of mental gymnastics do you need to perform to arrive at this conclusion??
why is the post red
i have f.lux on my pc to not hurt my eyes so everything has a filter on it forgot to turn it off
Oh okay, that’s fair enough
Yes! I used to use that, and forgot about it. It's great. Thanks for the reminder.

This is the funniest take I've seen on this. Everything they say is... hysterical or depressing?
OOP knows real rednecks are union thugs ready to bust corporate heads

Right wingers get dumber by the second.
> The presence of Nazis isnt an indication something is political oh for fuck's *SAKE*
“I’m not a redneck! I’m just from (most redneck place that isn’t Florida)!”
If you think a suburban Texan is a redneck, you probably don’t know what a redneck is. Redneck is a lifestyle, not a state of origin. There are rednecks in Massachusetts and suburbanites in Texas.
The 1st episode he lasers a plane of a politician he doesn’t like. And people still think he’s not the bad guy!?!?

These are the kinds of people who say that they hate how things are getting "politicized"
