thinking about how season 2 of the amazon original The Boys features not only a literal feminazi (as in, a progressive feminist character who is revealed to be an actual member of hitler's inner circle) but also a congresswoman character who is very obviously meant to serve as a stand-in for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—and who in the season finale is revealed to be an evil supervillain responsible for terrorist attacks on american soil.
I have some concerns.
#not a shitpost#the boys#the boys season 2#the boys spoilers#oh i wonder if this could have ANYTHING to do with the fact#with the fact that one of the first things AOC did in office was prevent amazon from receiving $3B in tax breaks#during their attempt to expand into New York#an attempt that would have cost taxpayers heavily due to the fact that amazon jobs are so abusive#that most workers have to rely on food stamps and government assistance just to barely survive#amazon is bad fucking news and AOC fought like hell to keep them out of her state#and now they've turned her into a literal supervillain in their most popular & heavily-advertised tv show#and people are somehow fine with it#because the show producers use the exact same technique that they did with the (again. LITERAL) femanazi#they introduce this progressive character as likeable. as one of the good guys.#bc who could object to that?#and then--oh what an exciting twist! the feminist and the progressive female politician are actually evil incarnate#you know what superpower they gave her in the show?#making people's heads explode. she literally murders people by exploding their heads. that is her superpower#I feel like we should maybe be more concerned than one of the most abusive & invasive corporations on the globe#is also investing heavily in producing its own media#and also that jeff bozo owns the Washington Post.#this should be illegal. at the very LEAST we should be talking about it.#anyway good morning and welcome to another day of We Live In A Dystopia#oh well don't worry. it's just fiction. it's not like it means anything. it's not like it influences the way that people think and feel#it's not like propaganda has ever had any noticeable impact on the health and well-being of a society

TAGS: oh i wonder if this could have anything to do with the fact that one of the first things AOC did in office was prevent amazon from receiving $3B in tax breaks during their attempt to expand into New York. (An attempt that would have cost taxpayers heavily due to the fact amazon jobs are so exploitive that most workers have to rely on food stamps and government assistance just to barely survive.) Amazon is bad fucking news and AOC fought like hell to keep them out of her state, and now they've turned her into a literal supervillain in their most popular & heavily-advertised tv show. And people are somehow fine with it because the show producers used the exact same technique that they did with the (again. literal) feminazi: they introduce this progressive character as likeable, as one of the good guys, bc who could object to that? And then--oh what an exciting twist! the feminist and the progressive female politician are actually evil incarnate.
You know what superpower they gave AOC in the show? making people's heads explode. she literally murders people by exploding their heads. that is her superpower.
