Thanks Opinion

Should be fixed now

RIGHT? It blows my mind too

Jessie Earl

Totally understandable <3

Jessie Earl

This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!

The video reads as private did something happen?

It blows my mind that anyone could look at The Boys or characters such as Homelander and see anything bet a seriously progressive and even activist show. I think where these people lose the thread is that even Homelander, who is as close to evil incarnate as can be depicted, is also at least a little bit sympathetic. The show keeps hinting at the possibility of his redemption and then takes it away. The right leaning viewers see the option of redemption as fulfilled. Because Homelander could have chosen to be better it's almost like they see it as him having done so or he would have if circumstances hadn't been beyond his control. It's a very fascistic idea: the strong man victim.

The Boys is a LOT to take in. I love that Jessie does things like this for media that I may not be cool experiencing directly. I ended up watching the Boys but was glad that I knew what I was getting into.

This show looks like it would be too sensory/empathically triggering for me to watch tho I appreciate seeing it through your lens. the degree of separation helps

lol

RIGHT!? God, it bugged me

Look, I know I shouldn't take the bait here. I know it. But here I go. That lady from the Daily Wire didn't think her position through very well. Shocker, I know. If Arishem were going to send Eternels as a homogenous group based on the ethnicity and culture prevailing over Earth at the time of their arrival, they would not have been white. I know you all know this. But ffs. They would NOT have been white. Where were people when the Eternals arrived in the film? What ethnicity were they? I bet the right would have loved an all-POC cast with THAT explanation.

Ok, me with my own real name account, you might have peeked me in YouTube without the RubberMansion sexy site Patreon name :)

Thank you. Your reading, for a Brazilian... white in Brazil but Latina everywhere else, quite aware of my own black blood, on top of being lesbian and trans...and being rejected from many places here from being too trans or too lesbian or too lesbian while trans... and too latina everywhere else in the world... in a Bolsonaro run country... your take... is quite honestly... deeply refreshing, down to earth, and reassuring I am not alone.

Starting to watch, loving it... <3

I can see why might people think the show lampoons both Left & Right, but really the so-called lampoon of the Left (or Woke) are just scenes where the Right (Big Corp\ Government) is utilising the Left ideals for the purpose of selling product or controlling the masses. Although I was never sure about that scene where Starlight & Maeve make the comment about "strong independent woman" is tongue-in-cheek or not?
