I agree with you OP, it makes more sense him being a typical insecure white man than saying that he's actually a Trump satire. There are so many assholes like him anyway.

I thought this week's episode would be more shocking because of the disclaimer and the Herogasm but honestly, I thought it was just a typical The Boys episode.

I love Annie and Mother's Milk teaming up, they are the characters I like the most.

idk if I'll be able to put up with another season of Homelander's shit. Or Hughie's shit. Change the name of the show I only care about the women and MM.

Hughie is driving me up the wall this season. I need him to chill the fuck out

Oh…so Trump was the first person to cause harm in the name of their fragile ego, white male privilege and no consequences for their actions?

FASCINATING.

Ironically enough, that's why it kind of works for me. He's not so Trump-like that I can't *also* see him as any other typical entitled white guy.

Cue all those angry fanboys who didn't realise Homelander was the bad guy whining on Twitter again

[honeym00navenue]

Can't believe they didn't realise?????

[insomniachobs]

They identified with the fascist psycho and then got dismayed when they belatedly started to realise that the show was going "check out this villain right here"

disappointed that soldier boy was in herogasm and didn't show dick

i've never seen this show

[waffletaco]

ya rly :(
He said he started Herogasm back in 1952, so a flashback is in due order! (or should have been).

[flawed_x_design]

He said he started it with Li erty (aka stormfront) so they could've brought her back for it too lol

The episode was purposely over-hyped by some of the actors and writers in the show in terms of the supposed orgy scenes we'd get that it's actually kind of pathetic. It's already the one of the biggest shows out there. It's not like they needed the publicity. The termite scene in the beginning of the season was way more shocking.
