Come on man we're doing it right now, it's being used to refer to a cishet guy getting all exicited over Homelander's crypto speech

It's not the word I'd have chosen but it is just the word now for that particular type of guy

I don't think its a word worth "reclaiming" - it was never used by leftists and was invented based on nothing but misogyny.

Yeah, but the whole point of "soy" is the nonsense about feminisation and why weak womanly men are bad. I can think the McElroy's are dorks without calling them low-testosterone.

I don't think it makes someone alt-right if they use it. I don't think it even helps normalise the language of the alt-right, I just think it's gross. It's pretty much entirely an instictive disgust-response.

drat, this show is still good in its third season. Starr continues to be mesmerizing. In that scene where he sits down with Butcher and growls "Vought" with such venom, I wonder if that's just his voice or they put some effect over it, sounded amazing.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I'm really interested to know more about Red River because even in season 1 they mentioned that supes had kids, like Translucent's son. They never really mentioned whether or not those kids were supes too but after Ryan being a thing then I feel like we're going to get a whole huge pile of supe kids showing up to do stuff eventually

Also I really want to know which supe Stillwell hosed to produce Teddy, unless Teddy is another kid who has two normal parents and was injected with V while in the womb

The spinoff episode explored the idea that a lot of the parents that agreed to giving their kids compound V pretty much abandoned them to Red River when their power set was revealed to not be marketable. Like having tits for eyeballs or being stuck in slow motion.

Homelander has all these hangups about being born in a test tube but the reality is that none of the supes got to have 'normal' childhoods.

Kind of surprised they didn't go with the body horror of having a superpowered fetus explode out of their pregnant mom a la Alien. Like when Huey is at Red River I could have totally imagined this happening right in front of him since he is a magnet for getting human giblets all over himself.

No es nada personal, solo negocios.
Hope stormfront is the first example of V resurrection in the series.

In the comics, pure V (like the one injected into the boys that increases their strength and endurance by a factor of 50) has the "ability" of jumpstarting dead bodies. It has no way of reversing brain damage due to lack of oxygen though, so any resurrected supes are literal pants-making GBS threads morons.

Didn't they depict this in the second season, as a lie to Butcher about what happened to Becca?

They did. The show is very good at invoking and subverting the comics, to the point where having read the comics isn’t always a spoiler. I wish more shows did that with source material, but I don’t imagine that many need to. (It makes me laugh that they made a show up up the sex pistols but can’t name the show “the sex pistols“).

Right, I was thinking though even though they didn't have this happen to Becca in the series they could still have the degree of body horror in another scene - like Huey visits Red River and a woman there goes into labor only to have a superbaby explode out of her belly and start chasing Huey around like a Benny hill skit.

I'm glad they've scaled back on the edge lord stuff. The show is plenty dark already, but this sounds like something a 14 year old wrote to freak out the squares. Basically Mark Millers entire oeuvre.
