That's because telling people what NOT to do is pretty much never going to work. "Don't think of a bear." It's better to focus on what to do and real solutions instead of criticizing alone. The Boys doesn't offer anything in way of solutions except perhaps violence. It maligns fascists and antifascists and horseshoe theories them together.

What I'm most curious about is how much insider info related to celebrities is being released through these episodes and characters. Because THAT is actually accurate and interesting.

What do you mean, insider info being released?

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I mean that, reading between the lines, the character storylines are likely based on real life Hollywood rumors. I think that's the point and why there are so many references. That implies that there really is a celebrity that had sex with an Octopus or other animal. There's actually a (really unsubstantiated) rumor about Tom Cruise and a fish, and since the Deep is sort of made to be Tom Cruise in the Scientology cult... I think there are a lot of Easter eggs like this in the show. It's a warning.
