He can buy anything in the world. Except the one thing he truly craves: love. He's a Disney villain, basically. Like king Haggard from The Last Unicorn.

All these fools resemble Homelander from The Boys and think that that's actually cool. Emotionally-stunted children, the lot of them. Not just those whose faces we see every day, but all the idiots in the background pandering to their shit, trying to appease them by suggesting we should allow third terms, or make Trump's birthday a national holiday, etc.

Give me a fucking break.

Wanna bet that they actually watch The Boys and think "Homelander is so cool because he can do whatever he wants. No one can tell him no"

I wonder if it ever occurred to him, to maybe try not being a dick.

Even bill gates managed to pull off some good PR with all his gates foundation bullshit, which made everyone seem to forget about his image from the 90s. (For a while.)

It’s funny because he’s now a villain for all the wrong reasons.

You know, with the eating kids and microchipping everyone according to the wackos lol.

What a world.

You mean gates? He’s still a dick though. He just managed to hide it for a couple of decades, before it revealed itself again.
