any time I see someone speaking about one of the antagonists from the boys, other than stormfront, and for whatever reason they feel they need to make the statement, "well at least [homelander/soldier boy/firecracker/whoever] isn't a nazi", i die a little bit inside. did you watch season 2. did you UNDERSTAND season 2....

#to be clear i'm not necessarily arguing that we should/must be saying 'homelander is a nazi'#however: people all too often think of 'nazi' as this category that is somehow far removed and far worse from...#generally being racist and fascist and white supremacist etc.#as stormfront said: 'people love what i have to say! they just don't like the word nazi.'#the POINT is that whether or not a person or institution - real or fictional - is labeled as 'nazi' by you or by others #you should still be able to discern when... it's immoral and alarming?#that way too many people are willing to defend the exact sort of ideology of the nazi party when it's not labeled with those words?#but that meanwhile when they do hear that word they immediately condemn/distance from it without thinking critically about the WHY??#anyway i just saw a screenshot of a psot from antoher site that said #'the boys s5 can't out satire real life cuz at least homelander's not a nazi!'#and i am like. ugh #anyways i still have some errrrr.... feelings about htis #about how those other 3 villains tend to have a lot more woobifying fandom online than stormfront does #and gee i wonder why...#not that people are not alloed to be fans of villain characters ofc.#i just find it ironic that anytime stormfront comes up in fandom spaces majority of people are like 'ewwww but okay we don't like her'#but those other 3 villains... also bigoted & horrible in many of the exact same ways... ppl are like 'ok well obviously we don't share #the views of these characters they're villains it's ok'
