When you go back to The Boys season 2 with the way st0rmfr0nt was portrayed as well as her followers, it's very much art imitating life.
starting 2:40 that's pretty much the sentiment. If you want to make an analogy here Homelander could be seen as Trump in this instance. At least with the way some cacs feel and their views toward him.
That's exactly what it's all about. The culture. Stories are important. I forget for how many centuries, but there was a time the dark ages of Greece where there was no real advancement of culture or anything. Then Homer came along with the Iliad and Odyssey, and it lit a fire under their asses. Stories matter and who is in those stories matter. How many people got into engineering because of Star Trek: TOS? As a kid I loved science and chemistry because of Spider-Man. One of my favorite Christmas gifts ever, was the chemistry set I got one year. That's why they are losing their shyt. Because their dominance in dictating what the culture and society is, is slipping. And what they dictated the culture to be, for the longest time is, if it's white it's right.
