The Boys is what always got me. It was “woke” from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it’s only woke now?
The morons didn’t realize you’re not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.
Granted, I’m a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.
Like, I see this sentiment that “homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn’t know it” meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.
Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.
but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander?
early on in the show’s life, absolutely yes, i saw plenty of people doing just that
I’ve never watched an episode but have a general idea of the premise. It seemed pretty obvious that Homelander wasn’t the protagonist from the basic understanding I had of the show and the promotional material.
I’d like to see a Homlander redemption story arc.
I had a friend go “yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now” like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I’ve ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can’t tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.
Is the boys really woke or just anti maga? Or is woke now just anti maga?
Woke is anti MAGA, but also other things.
I would say MAGA is anti woke, and woke is whatever dear leader wants it to be
They were a little less on the nose, which is why it flew over conservatives’ heads.
rage against the machine lmao that’s like saying system of a down is woke now
Imagine hearing the name of the band and thinking that The Machine was the hero.

When I was young the world was pure and innocent, but then I learned about politics and everybody started doing it.
They’re all woke except X-Men, which is “work” now.
If the far right possessed any humanity, creativity, talent, or imagination they could create their own woke-free entertainment but they don’t so they should shut the fuck up and be grateful that everyone else can.
They do. It sucks.
And even better, they accidentally made it woke! https://youtu.be/7OxoXTtu0wo?si=kAvH4E9DNHV1AguM
Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn’t magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).
Rip actress lady.i lov u
Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?
(Just kidding, Barbie has always been woke.)
Barbie always being woke? I assume you mean the movie.
No, I meant Barbie in general.
Before Barbies, dolls for girls were always baby dolls, and Barbies were part of the change that showed women can have careers and be more than homemakers.
I thought we addressed that pretty well with during the opening “2001: A Space Odyssey” sequences.
Teen Talk Barbie got a lot of shit for “Math class is tough!”
Me and Teen Talk Barbie get the problem with math class.
That’s Malibu Stacy, my friend!
Yes, that was the Simpsons making fun of the incident I referred to.
The best part of this meme is that it takes into account the fact that they haven’t figured out how unimaginably, purposefully woke The Matrix is
Sounds like people who weren’t aware before are now woke
Disney is woke.
I shortened it for you.
Star wars is woke now
It’s spelt wookie
Star Trek. (Always has been)
Woke Ness Monster
…also, Dude, monster is not the preferred nomenclature, uh, aquatic-horror, please
i had a chuckle when i read some comment complaining about star trek discovery being “woke” LOL
dude, of all the shows ever, which one do you think practically INVENTED what you call “woke”?
