I hope he doesn't, but I think Walker is gonna win. He also probably has severe CTE, so a lot of his campaign statements about whether or not he graduated college, graduated in the top of his class, how many children he has, etc. might just be things he genuinely believed and a staffer just wrote down and didn't fact check. I know from applying for jobs, it's pretty rare for people to actually look if you graduated from whatever college you claimed to graduate from.

OwlFancier posted:Very hard to imagine how someone who cannot make a cup of coffee could possibly have anything to offer in the field of art criticism. Art critic is one of those jobs where I'd sort of expect and want a bit of weirdness, tbh, and that's the kind of weirdness that works for that. A strange but harmless eccentricity that doesn't seem to be harming him or his wife, but makes you go "oh yeah! the coffee guy!" when he's mentioned.

Yes, because if your brain cannot fathom how to make coffee, not fancy coffee but just any coffee I am not sure it can figure out how to do anything else, possibly including breathing. Best possible proof of the chinese room hypothesis, he tweets yet there appears to be no conscious activity going on.

Homelander is blond, blue-eyed Superman who has been written since season one to be a complete bastard and invoke white male victimhood/superiority complex stuff. His last scene in season two was him masturbating while chanting "I can do whatever I want". In season three the writers are pretty blatantly invoking Donald Trump with his character. He's gaining political ambitions and is giving populist speeches on a parody of Fox News. Yes, it's extremely confusing that these people are only now getting mad at the show.

He gives an insincere apology at a community center but gets called out. He starts off defending himself by saying he's "just going where the crime is" but winds up screaming about how statistically black people commit more crimes then average and "Supe Live Matter", then assaults a bunch of people booing him and later spins it as him defending himself from Antifa.

 From the same thread about folks missing the point in the boys. How are people this bad at interpreting art? Verhoven is not a subtle dude. "idk sure the officers literally wear SS uniforms, military service is the only path to citizenship and the poor get fed into the meatgrinder, but on the otherhand coed showers and sports so how can we really say Earth was bad in Starship Troopers?" There is literally a plotpoint about Rico's parents being rich non citizens and how that would allow him to go to a nice college instead of joining the military despite his lovely grades. Geeze, if Michael Ironside had a little moustache and talked about his struggles as a failed artist, there would still be people who weren't quite sure if the society was fascist in Starship Troopers.

That's not even a surface read, it's a surface read of ad copy.

but I doubt Verhoven is smart enough to do a satire. (Does anyone ever notice how often a director is blamed for a writer's shortcomings? I mean, at some point the director should be the problem too, but do they really deserve all the bad credit?)

PhazonLink posted:does reddit do its own inhouse census or does any outside org have info on reddits demogrpahic info? When large portions of media are built specifically to appeal to you and your sense of superiority, the need for actual media literacy falls heavily. Also I would assume anyone who thought Homelander was a good guy until now would also not see anything wrong with him acting like Trump, who they probably voted for. Also it probably makes more sense if the most 'political' thing they ever watched was Game of Thrones, at which point The Boys becomes 'the struggles of Butcher and Homelander to get away from all these systems keeping them down from having a knock down drag out fight that ends it all' and no one is a hero or good person. The problem with racist dogwhistles and subtext code is that when you show them something that disagrees with them but also has nuance, they discard most of the message in favour of latching onto the small nuances like 'butcher is also not a good person' to recontextualize everything to fit thier own narrative.
