The Boys has a lot of super creepy right-wingers who idolize the fascist characters in the show, totally oblivious that the show is making fun of them and those characters.

It's super weird that they're that dumb, but combined with that is just how weird and disturbing they are as people because of that.

As a matter of fact, satire does not work. Fascists will idolize the fascists in satire, always. It feels like satire only works with people who already have an education about the dangers of fascism.

In the broken mind of a fascist, satire is actually a kind of utopia. It's how the world is supposed to be in their twisted ideals.

Its the same reason they like to play Born in the USA all the time.
