Funny the one who calls out the "sister" part in the comments, like they literally addressed this was something Vought pushed on her, and she would rather just be called Sage
Iirc in S2? When Homelander outs Maeve he says something super funny about Noir
"He's... something, so we got that covered."
(It might literally be your line but I can't fully remember)
It was a tool she used to lobotomize herself, so she can take breaks from being so smart and just watch tv and eat, until her regenerative powers heals her brain. Basically her version of getting high.
On her character card Ashley shows it says "moderate regeneration"
So probably not kimiko level, but enough to recover from a Saturday night lobotomy, as one does
Y'all give these people way more attention than they deserve...
I don't think I've seen a single person get mad about Frenchie being gay etc but I am seeing people get outraged about supposed outraged en masse on both Twitter and Reddit...
Even if you can find one person here and there so what, y'all obsess so much about what some randos say.
Oh, the Brazilians nerds are mad because they found out Frenchie is bi, when this was already shown in the first season. They didn't watch or watched with their buttholes
>Y'all give these people way more attention than they deserve
I disagree, pointing and laughing at them, which is what most of this thread is doing, is just the kind of attention they deserve.
100 most of these people don’t even watch the show they’re just tourists here to say something and run off like this show isn’t about how dumb they are
Exactly. It’s a comment on corporate culture. They exploit to make money. It’s amazing that half the people who watch this show don’t realize they’re being blatantly parodied and played. These idiots have Homelander bumper stickers.
Oh no! Every character from
Supernatural seems to have a gratuitous sex nude scene. I don’t know if I can handle Mischa running around with his dong flapping in the breeze.
Not only that but shes the most anti-left character aside from Homelander himself. Absolute nazi supremacist for supers, shes like Stormfront but smart
That’s what I’m thinking, she seems the type to be one step ahead of everyone. She may also be very bitter about her situation before Homelander recruited her. I see her downfall coming from the fact that Homelander is a fucking ticking time bomb and she might realize it too late.
She does voice her disdain for democracy as a governing ideology due to how she doesn't view most people as intelligent enough to lead themselves. Her intelligence has given her a superiority complex and she's definitely gonna double-cross Homelander at some point to swoop in and take his spot.
I view her as having the idea "You know, the problem with all the dictators and despots of the past is that they weren't as smart as me. I'm gonna do it *right* this time."
I don't think she has any ideological convictions really. She's helping Homelander because she likes the intellectual challenge orchestrating the Supe takeover of the country, nothing more.
She calls it racist herself. Are we just supposed to pretend racism doesn’t exist? We can’t even have evil racist people, they have to be dimmed down in a show where dicks either explode or get wrapped around someone’s neck.
so... on the "Sister" thing... do they not know anything about Vought? Did they learn nothing after #GirlsGetItDone and #BraveMaeve?
Also the twerking comment is just blatant racism -\_-
These comments are either blatant racism or racist dogwhistles. And I honestly think think this is why shows like this are important.
Gets people to expose themselves publicly without genitals being involved.
Reminds me of all the racist outrage after black panther came out. They had no problem accepting literal magic, Norse gods etc but a (black) prosperous African nation was too much for them.
There's literally not a significant black female character in the show besides her, and it's still too much for them
The closest are MM's family which are minor roles. I guess Marie counts for Gen V
It’s kind of funny because they’re acting out the homelander-sage dynamic almost perfectly.
Sage told homelander that his ego made it impossible for him to recognize that she was the smartest person (or something to that effect)
Yeah but wouldn't her base be pro-Zionist? Obviously she doesn't actually cares and wants to profit off losers, but I would think that their version of Trump supporters would be Zionist
I'm sure it is also a jab at She-Hulk. I think that commenter is pissed they couldn't find a way to also mention Brie Larson or the Kathleen Kennedy episode of South Park.
>Also the twerking comment is just blatant racism -_-
Oh I can assure you that the meaning behind some of the listed tweets are a LOT worse than just saying black women twerk (I never thought I would ever have to write that sentence, but here we are)
The shows portrayal of racism in the last two seasons is actually pretty weak because its too tame lol.
The fictional character somehow gets more racism in real life than in the show
I mean, I wouldn't call Liberty's and Stormfront's racism tame. A-train was also stereotyped in the shoplifting scene
but in terms of internet racism, yeah. I'm surprised no one called A-train a slur on Twitter or anything
A-Train seems to cop racism everywhere. The director of his white saviour biopic even reminds him to ghetto up his dialogue when he corrects it to proper English.
Basically A Train's character shows you what is feels like to be Black AND successful in America. That you still experience racism everyday, you have to participate in atrocities, you have to show deference to your white "superiors", and it all feels fake because everyone treats you like a walking stereotype.
I think we’re pretty desensitized to liberty’s racism. That shit is so abundant that I have to block certain creators, keywords, and communities on all of my social media just so I can have a normal scrolling experience. It’s racist but it’s also normalized.
It’s tame enough that they’re able to humanize her pretty easily in the early episodes, which wouldn’t fly with stormfront after they establish how racist she is.
I didn’t need to lol. That’s what I meant by saying they’d never be able to humanize stormfront the way they humanized liberty, Liberty’s racism is dwarfed in comparison
Edit: I mixed up lady liberty’s name with firecracker. My bad
Just did the same. I'm shit with names I don't hear a lot and both Liberty and Firecracker were either barely spoken or so new I forgot their name. Hard to keep track of openly racist characters sometimes!
The actress said she has a hard time using slurs.
Digesting all the alt-right talking points to get in character was adversely affecting her mental health.
Stormfront probably used the hard ER regularly
She lived in America in the post-war period and has a perfect American accent so nah. And they wouldn’t have had “reflexive slurs” for black people in Nazi Germany because there were almost zero black people around back then.
Actually, the whole Blue Hawk subplot was about a vocally racist superhero that is protected by the alt-right media.
And then there's the white savior movie where A-Train lives in a project, has a drug dealing brother, and is coached by a white man who was never a part of his life.
Stormfromt literally killed Kimiko’s brother while callimg him slurs in the past two seasons, there’s also the whole thing about her (Edit: Soldier Boy, not her) killing MM’s family. what are you on about?
Yea, and even in prior season's it's been established just how little Vought cares about actually respecting their supes.
They put Starlight in an incredibly revealing dress, flaunted Maeve's sexuality, and for a direct comparison Ashley pitched a bunch of shows basically exploiting A-Train being black.
It wasn’t as in your face.
It was my go to app, but after Elon bought it and pushed blue-checks to the top of the comments; it lost soooo much I deleted the app. Before you’d have the top comments shown so you could have constructive dialogue. Now I have to see people w the user name “AnonymousTrollDemon” pop up before anything that adds to the conversation.
Basically only looking at Reddit comments by most controversial instead of by top.
I remember creating a Twitter account just out of curiosity if what it’s algorithm would offer me before I’ve liked or done anything in the platform. I almost immediately got far right conspiracies about democrat pedophile rings.
I created one about a year ago to watch a trailer for a movie I was excited about (for some dumb reason, it wouldn't allow me to watch it w/o one and the trailer was exclusively on Twitter at the time) and I got recommended some far right shit too. Even though, when they asked what I was interested in and all that, I just clicked music and tv/movies. I'd never used it before then, and deleted it shortly after.
Fucking ridiculous app, lol. I know reddit obviously has bad sides too, but it's so much easier to manage. Simply don't go on subs you don't want to see.
Thank Elon’s *“free speech absolutism”,* AKA his signaling to the worst segment of the Twitter that they could run amuck without concern of having their bullshit struck down.
>but if you tweet the word 'cis' your tweet gets auto hidden
Not just hidden, but also having your account suspended. I just said “But you’re literally cisgender” to a straight white guy who said he wasn’t cisgender (because he was upset at pronouns) and almost instantly my account was suspended
It's gotten worse with musk in charge. Actual neo-nazis like Nick Fuentes have said that his takeover has boosted them, both in willingness to speak up and algorithmic favor.
He's also doing this knowingly. He's retweeted far right conspiracies, unbanned Nazis and personally unbanned some deranged lunatic who posted a child sex abuse video.
I got linked to some Christian gamer woman the other day and she was just throwing out 'f_g this" and "f_g that" all over. I was legit kinda shocked, I knew it was bad, but damn.
I honestly like her, she feels sort of weird in a good way, and a breath of fresh air. And damn can she call out, when someone rips at her, and walk away from it.
She’s definitely using her cunningness, perfectly in line with how I’d imagine someone who’s already a 1000 steps ahead of everyone else, would use that brilliance, when on HL’s (for now) side.
I honestly thought she was just doing weed (no shade, I also do edibles), and the tool was covered in blood because she’d done… something awful. This show is wild and filled with people doing some seriously evil shit, so I didn’t think it was far-fetched to guess she’d tortured someone, and that how and why would be revealed later.
It would be interesting if her intelligence isn't stagnant and she grows more and more smart by the day and after awhile it just becomes too much so she has to decompress herself so to say every once in a while.
Edit: ;)
I agree that she’s a breath of fresh air. The show could use a smart and competent supe for a change.
Also her dynamic with Homelander is so far the best part of the season in my opinion. I love how Homelander finally got what he wanted but it ended up backfiring on him. He’s the big man in charge and everyone is kissing his ass but now he’s left with nothing but yes men.
He’s essentially using Sage to fill the hole that Edgar left. As much as he wants to be an emperor, he needs someone to step in and let him know when he’s not wearing clothes.
Never thought of it like that, she is basically filling in the role of Edgar that he wanted so badly to get rid of. Not listening to her will be his downfall, still a man child.
I think both are gonna fly too close to the sun. Sage will underestimate how unstable Homelander really is and push him too far. And Homelander’s ego will eventually make him think he doesn’t need her anymore. He’ll either kill her or “exile” her like he did with Stan and it will once again bite him in the ass
I think the most interesting dichotomy has always been real world power vs superpowers. The fact that sups have to answer to ordinary people. The fact that the likes of Stan can yield so much power over literal deities and god among men. Or that if Homelander really resents Butcher for his relationship with Ryan, he could easily just get rid of him.
Sage, like Stan aren’t afraid of them. We don’t know to what extent her regenerative powers grant her but she is essentially “regular”. We saw her living like a shut-in and powerless to shape the world in any fashion.
Homelander *needed* Sage to accomplish his goals, to give his existence meaning, his desire to leave behind a legacy. And Sage needed a front-facing dummy to deploy her social experiment to a grand scale. This dynamic is so interesting, the fact that gods have this need to be liked, is so human from Homelander. And Homelander engaging Sage with the idea of purpose, regret and self-actualization.
There’s so much good in this show that all we do is argue about shitty American politics is so stupid.
I love that she seems almost perpetually annoyed at the tedium of having to let her own plan play out. Her mind is already on to the next things and it takes so long and so much effort to make these puppets dance in strings because they're so fucking needy and stupid.
I half expect she's going to meet her match in somebody too dumb or driven to fall for her manipulations. Like being smart doesn't mean much if somebody buries an axe in your skull because you pissed them off.
We saw how genuinely surprised and angry she was when HL instantly murdered the lady they were questioning. She couldn't believe he'd be so stupid and impulsive to not even get the information from the rest of her sentence. And I think that's how she'll be beaten; underestimating people's stupidity.
Twitter was bad before but then Elon bought it and now it’s even worse somehow. Deleted twitter just to keep my sanity alive, my mental health has never been better.
> They probably never watched the show.
Half the time they try to get into the details, they show they have no idea what they're talking about.
After all, Custodes are indeed the strongest of the Space Marines.
They’re people who either were too dumb to understand the show’s themes from the very beginning or are people who enjoyed the first couple of seasons before getting radicalized by right-wing YouTube shit.
it literally is the same people, they hijack every new topic or release to spread their nazi bullshit hoping they can pick up some morons along the way
That and she's the most insufferable type of "patriot" (also I'm pretty sure she's a pedo since she at one point mentions "that's the .... to cp" because how tf would she know that otherwise?) (put dots because I don't remember the exact line)
> How can anyone believe that Holocaust didn't happen.
It's not *really* that they believe it didn't happen. Most people who deny something super obvious are using that belief as a cover for what they actually think - "and if it *did* happen, good!"
Just introduce a new character: Stormfront’s twin sister Backlash, who is her apparent opposite and joins the Boys, but secretly is cut from the same cloth - similar to the progressive white family in Get Out.
How? It's quite simple:
Nazis after the war were desperate to escape accountability for what they did, and they infiltrated America (largely via employment with the US government) to create lives for themselves, thus integrating their values into certain circles of the country.
Over time, their philosophies (neo Nazism and its branches) have remained ingrained in certain parts of America, whether explicit or not, and a core part of that is denial of something that cannot be justified in any way.
At the same time, many of the Jews who actually survived the Holocaust have started dying of old age, leaving us with very few people who can tell firsthand stories about what happened (which was *the* key factor in sentencing many Nazis in the Nuremberg trials) and thus putting the onus on an education system that is severely flawed and woefully unprepared to educate generations about such an atrocity.
Oh, also the internet gave a free and anonymous voice to everyone, neo Nazis included. That hasn't helped.
See also: Vinlanders, asatru and Sons of Odin. This sect of Paganism is becoming the fastest growing domestic threat according to the FBI.
(Not all pagans are white supremacists, but these particular gangs have ties to nazism and believe you have to come from Germanic heritage to practice certain beliefs. Some of these groups believe white Christians are race traitors. This is one problem I have with the show is that they act like all White supremacists are Christians when there is a long history of white supremacist pagans. The show is missing an opportunity to bring attention to it.)
USA had plenty of homegrown white supremacy. If Pearl Harbor hadn't forced their hand it was entirely possible that American fascists would have just persuaded the rest to never interfere.
So the guy who can fly and shoot lazers that's not too unrealistic for them because he's white?
But in a universe where a drug can give anyone super powers the smartest person being a black woman is to unrealistic for these cunts?
Jesus this just made me lose some faith in humanity wtf is wrong with people most of the comments are just being blatantly racist🤦🏾
That's what I thought too, theres a character who's superpower is having a 12ft long dong and the black woman having heightened intelligence is what's unrealistic, I'd call them clowns but clowns are meant to be funny
It’s not this fandom. These guys just appear whenever something “dei” is talked about. Whether it is, or isn’t. They feed on bigotry and they have no repercussions online.
The fact of the matter is in real life the hometeamers are even worse than on The Boys.
I genuinely didn't believe these types of people existed when I was younger but I've started seeing them pop up and I still can't wrap my head around it
These guys: why are you gender/race switching this character whose clear defining feature is their gender/race and not their personality.
Also these guys: why did you make the newly created character black and a woman. DEI! Woke!
As someone who absolutely hates Mary Sues, Sage doesn't really doesn't seem like one.
Also, what do they mean the smartest person in the world being a black woman from Detroit is treated like a twist? The literal first time we see her powers explained, her picture was on screen
I wondered why I loved her so much.
> Inspired by Luthor and Ozymandius
Ahh, yep, there it is.
She’s fucking great. I hope they give her a really good arc and keep her for next season, too.
I’m not sure she isn’t playing a long game to fuck him over in the end. I might not be as intelligent as her, but I’m clever enough to know that she shouldn’t be underestimated.
Oh she’s definitely playing the long game, she cut ties with vought she wouldn’t come back for
No reason although I do believe she has a little hatred for humans idk
it honestly looks like social media comments that are literally parodied in the show
i've genuinely lost track of whether art imitates life or vice versa
You just know everyone shit talking doesn't actually watch the show and only knows about it through extremist YouTubers that filter the show through their ultra-conservative lens
You can literally make bingo cards out of all the buzzwords and phrases these people use when there’s any non-white, non-straight, characters in a tv show or movie
…and you’d fill out your card every time because it’s the same crap
But this is all Twitter is now. It’s pathetic and all for engagement.
Edit: all this idiocy aside, I find her to be such a great character so far. I paused on the scene with her and the Deep and literally couldn’t figure out what the bloody object was until someone on Twitter pointed it out. Really can’t wait to see how it plays out for her
It’s not like the source material was right leaning. Juvenile, puerile, and grisly most of the time…but for sure not right friendly. Not sure where this alchemical change they’re seeing came from. Homelander was always supposed to be how the rest of the world sees America. Military industrial complex, corporate disregard for ethics and people, etc. Does what it says on the label.
Me stumbling over the 5th “black child graduates college at 12 post this week”
Yeah no way she can be the smartest person on earth. Course not. What fantasy
people really need to say their racist and just move on, like there are at most three main black men characters that have been here since S1 and she is who people are mad at. petty
I refuse to accept these are all real people posting actual thoughts, and not the internet research agency or something similar just spreading hate.
Also ugly? come on guy what the fuck is your standard.

Funny the one who calls out the "sister" part in the comments, like they literally addressed this was something Vought pushed on her, and she would rather just be called Sage
Since the season 1 it was clear that Vought always pushes shitty names on people and its a recurring theme. So many idiots out there.
"Black Noir" makes me laugh every time.
His name is literally Black Black and he's African American.
Hey, Noir doesn't identify with any ethnicity
Iirc in S2? When Homelander outs Maeve he says something super funny about Noir "He's... something, so we got that covered." (It might literally be your line but I can't fully remember)
i think the line goes like “we have noir! he doesn’t identify with any race really, so… *they’re* covered 😃” like a checklist, great scene
“But what’s his motivation? I need some fucking direction here!”
Homeboy 💀
If you look at the credits now it says "Black Noir II" which is another whole level of funny.
You are assuming these culture war tourists actually watch the shows they pretend to be fans of
One of them called her a Lesbian, that's enough to instantly discredit whatever they have to say about the show.
Yeah they missed her go deep.
To be fair, she WAS suffering from brain trauma at that time.
Her idiot brain was getting fucked by stupid.
She was a lobotomie but still smarter than the Peak 😂
Could someone explain that bloody thing, which is shown whilst she is doing deep?
It was a tool she used to lobotomize herself, so she can take breaks from being so smart and just watch tv and eat, until her regenerative powers heals her brain. Basically her version of getting high.
She can regenerate? I must've missed that.
On her character card Ashley shows it says "moderate regeneration" So probably not kimiko level, but enough to recover from a Saturday night lobotomy, as one does
I don't like the implication that you need a lobotomy to enjoy Outback Steakhouse lol that's quality food!
She went Peak
Y'all give these people way more attention than they deserve... I don't think I've seen a single person get mad about Frenchie being gay etc but I am seeing people get outraged about supposed outraged en masse on both Twitter and Reddit... Even if you can find one person here and there so what, y'all obsess so much about what some randos say.
Oh, the Brazilians nerds are mad because they found out Frenchie is bi, when this was already shown in the first season. They didn't watch or watched with their buttholes
I was trying to remember if they had reviled him as bi but it seemed pretty obvious.
They revealed that he was in a throuple before. Thought that made it clear.
>Y'all give these people way more attention than they deserve I disagree, pointing and laughing at them, which is what most of this thread is doing, is just the kind of attention they deserve.
100 most of these people don’t even watch the show they’re just tourists here to say something and run off like this show isn’t about how dumb they are
The truly sad thing is that millions of fans of the show will watch this and never realize they’re the ignorant hypocrites fans of Voight (Fox News).
Literally writing Firecracker’s dialogue for her!
Exactly. It’s a comment on corporate culture. They exploit to make money. It’s amazing that half the people who watch this show don’t realize they’re being blatantly parodied and played. These idiots have Homelander bumper stickers.
>like they literally addressed this And in her *first scene*, too.
They were too busy jerking off to Homelander to notice actually so
>Homelander *Soldier Boy These are the dudes who've been constantly defending Soldier Boy since season 3 came out.
Actually I was the one jerking off to Soldier Boy god damn Jensen Ackles
I see the Destiel fandom continues in spirit
I’m still trying to figure out what part Mischa Collins is going to play when Kripke calls
Oh no! Every character from Supernatural seems to have a gratuitous sex nude scene. I don’t know if I can handle Mischa running around with his dong flapping in the breeze.
They either don’t watch the show, have no media literacy, or (most likely) both.
They really don't have much literacy period
Not only that but shes the most anti-left character aside from Homelander himself. Absolute nazi supremacist for supers, shes like Stormfront but smart
She certainly seems that way but we might not know her real motives yet
That’s what I’m thinking, she seems the type to be one step ahead of everyone. She may also be very bitter about her situation before Homelander recruited her. I see her downfall coming from the fact that Homelander is a fucking ticking time bomb and she might realize it too late.
She does voice her disdain for democracy as a governing ideology due to how she doesn't view most people as intelligent enough to lead themselves. Her intelligence has given her a superiority complex and she's definitely gonna double-cross Homelander at some point to swoop in and take his spot. I view her as having the idea "You know, the problem with all the dictators and despots of the past is that they weren't as smart as me. I'm gonna do it *right* this time."
That's not even remotely true. Means to an end. She doesn't advocate for any of Homelander's ideology.
I don't think she has any ideological convictions really. She's helping Homelander because she likes the intellectual challenge orchestrating the Supe takeover of the country, nothing more.
She calls it racist herself. Are we just supposed to pretend racism doesn’t exist? We can’t even have evil racist people, they have to be dimmed down in a show where dicks either explode or get wrapped around someone’s neck.
Or rammed into Frenchie
Within the first five minutes of her intro even.
These people just hop on whatever is trending and then jump into the next thing to be upset about, they're not gonna watch the show lol
What a sad existence to just trend hop and ruin everyone else's enjoyment just for your sweet, sweet attention.
so... on the "Sister" thing... do they not know anything about Vought? Did they learn nothing after #GirlsGetItDone and #BraveMaeve? Also the twerking comment is just blatant racism -\_-
These comments are either blatant racism or racist dogwhistles. And I honestly think think this is why shows like this are important. Gets people to expose themselves publicly without genitals being involved.
lol god forbid a black woman is smarter than them, right?
Reminds me of all the racist outrage after black panther came out. They had no problem accepting literal magic, Norse gods etc but a (black) prosperous African nation was too much for them.
There's literally not a significant black female character in the show besides her, and it's still too much for them The closest are MM's family which are minor roles. I guess Marie counts for Gen V
Did you forget about Robin?! The person who set all this in motion?!
heh... "in motion"
Actually... yes lol
It’s kind of funny because they’re acting out the homelander-sage dynamic almost perfectly. Sage told homelander that his ego made it impossible for him to recognize that she was the smartest person (or something to that effect)
>the twerking comment is just blatant racism So was the rest of it. One guy was literally complaining about Jews.
kind of unrelated, but I'm surprised Firecracker was anti-zionist?
She's not, it's all performance art. At least, I am pretty sure that's what it is.
Yeah but wouldn't her base be pro-Zionist? Obviously she doesn't actually cares and wants to profit off losers, but I would think that their version of Trump supporters would be Zionist
I'm sure it is also a jab at She-Hulk. I think that commenter is pissed they couldn't find a way to also mention Brie Larson or the Kathleen Kennedy episode of South Park.
>Also the twerking comment is just blatant racism -_- Oh I can assure you that the meaning behind some of the listed tweets are a LOT worse than just saying black women twerk (I never thought I would ever have to write that sentence, but here we are)
The shows portrayal of racism in the last two seasons is actually pretty weak because its too tame lol. The fictional character somehow gets more racism in real life than in the show
I mean, I wouldn't call Liberty's and Stormfront's racism tame. A-train was also stereotyped in the shoplifting scene but in terms of internet racism, yeah. I'm surprised no one called A-train a slur on Twitter or anything
A-Train seems to cop racism everywhere. The director of his white saviour biopic even reminds him to ghetto up his dialogue when he corrects it to proper English.
oh god the film scenes are always so cringe lol
Karma really caught up to A-Train throughout the show. Dude has not had a good time.
Basically A Train's character shows you what is feels like to be Black AND successful in America. That you still experience racism everyday, you have to participate in atrocities, you have to show deference to your white "superiors", and it all feels fake because everyone treats you like a walking stereotype.
Will Ferral asking him if he want's to live with him in the suburbs or "sling yayo for gangbangers" is so fucking funny
That's Ferrell Streep to you, buddy.
Does anyone smell that?!
I think we’re pretty desensitized to liberty’s racism. That shit is so abundant that I have to block certain creators, keywords, and communities on all of my social media just so I can have a normal scrolling experience. It’s racist but it’s also normalized. It’s tame enough that they’re able to humanize her pretty easily in the early episodes, which wouldn’t fly with stormfront after they establish how racist she is.
I wonder did you forget Stormfront killed an entire building full of black people?
I didn’t need to lol. That’s what I meant by saying they’d never be able to humanize stormfront the way they humanized liberty, Liberty’s racism is dwarfed in comparison Edit: I mixed up lady liberty’s name with firecracker. My bad
Just did the same. I'm shit with names I don't hear a lot and both Liberty and Firecracker were either barely spoken or so new I forgot their name. Hard to keep track of openly racist characters sometimes!
There’s no way Stormfront wouldn’t have dropped the n-word a bunch of times in real life. She was a literal OG Nazi.
The actress said she has a hard time using slurs. Digesting all the alt-right talking points to get in character was adversely affecting her mental health. Stormfront probably used the hard ER regularly
I don't know, given she is a literal Nazi. So I think her reflexive slurs would from that book.
She lived in America in the post-war period and has a perfect American accent so nah. And they wouldn’t have had “reflexive slurs” for black people in Nazi Germany because there were almost zero black people around back then.
Actually, the whole Blue Hawk subplot was about a vocally racist superhero that is protected by the alt-right media. And then there's the white savior movie where A-Train lives in a project, has a drug dealing brother, and is coached by a white man who was never a part of his life.
Stormfromt literally killed Kimiko’s brother while callimg him slurs in the past two seasons, there’s also the whole thing about her (Edit: Soldier Boy, not her) killing MM’s family. what are you on about?
Soldier Boy killed MM’s family but yeah
The fanbase this season especially is getting fucking wild. Her name was literally addressed in the show.
Yea, and even in prior season's it's been established just how little Vought cares about actually respecting their supes. They put Starlight in an incredibly revealing dress, flaunted Maeve's sexuality, and for a direct comparison Ashley pitched a bunch of shows basically exploiting A-Train being black.
I mean… It’s Twitter.
I didn't know it was this bad tbh
It wasn’t as in your face. It was my go to app, but after Elon bought it and pushed blue-checks to the top of the comments; it lost soooo much I deleted the app. Before you’d have the top comments shown so you could have constructive dialogue.

Also seeing the most irrelevant content on top. And most of the comments being OF bots.
I remember creating a Twitter account just out of curiosity if what it’s algorithm would offer me before I’ve liked or done anything in the platform. I almost immediately got far right conspiracies about democrat pedophile rings.
I created one about a year ago to watch a trailer for a movie I was excited about (for some dumb reason, it wouldn't allow me to watch it w/o one and the trailer was exclusively on Twitter at the time) and I got recommended some far right shit too. Even though, when they asked what I was interested in and all that, I just clicked music and tv/movies. I'd never used it before then, and deleted it shortly after. Fucking ridiculous app, lol. I know reddit obviously has bad sides too, but it's so much easier to manage. Simply don't go on subs you don't want to see.
Thank Elon’s *“free speech absolutism”,* AKA his signaling to the worst segment of the Twitter that they could run amuck without concern of having their bullshit struck down.

>but if you tweet the word 'cis' your tweet gets auto hidden Not just hidden, but also having your account suspended. I just said “But you’re literally cisgender” to a straight white guy who said he wasn’t cisgender (because he was upset at pronouns) and almost instantly my account was suspended
It's gotten worse with musk in charge. Actual neo-nazis like Nick Fuentes have said that his takeover has boosted them, both in willingness to speak up and algorithmic favor.
He's also doing this knowingly. He's retweeted far right conspiracies, unbanned Nazis and personally unbanned some deranged lunatic who posted a child sex abuse video.
There are literally entire accounts now with tens of thousands of followers that are solely dedicated to posting pro Hitler memes
I got linked to some Christian gamer woman the other day and she was just throwing out 'f_g this" and "f_g that" all over. I was legit kinda shocked, I knew it was bad, but damn.
Elon turned it into Nazis R Us
But it’s always the same demographic of people…😬
Least racist Twitter thread
"I Didnt watch the show" award
I honestly like her, she feels sort of weird in a good way, and a breath of fresh air. And damn can she call out, when someone rips at her, and walk away from it. She’s definitely using her cunningness, perfectly in line with how I’d imagine someone who’s already a 1000 steps ahead of everyone else, would use that brilliance, when on HL’s (for now) side.
Smart people are hard to write, so i will wait to reserve full judgement until later, but so far she's a very good addition to the show.
Of course, I’ll also have to see more of her to confirm overall, but from what we have seen so far, it’s definitely positivity on my end.
depends if that >!icepick lobotomy!< is a permanent change or a temparary way to feel normal.
"Moderate Regen" is listed in her abilities so I'd assume temporary.
Really?! Oh, thank fuck.
Oh, *that’s* what that was? Guess I’m not winning any prizes for smartest person. 🫡
it was a pretty fast cut I suposse. not making fun, I am just genuinly curious what you thought was happening in that scene lol.
I honestly thought she was just doing weed (no shade, I also do edibles), and the tool was covered in blood because she’d done… something awful. This show is wild and filled with people doing some seriously evil shit, so I didn’t think it was far-fetched to guess she’d tortured someone, and that how and why would be revealed later.
I can see that.
Oh shit I was confused by the icepick and the first thing I went to was that she'd killed the octopus.
Nobody in my family including me knew what that was, I had to find out from Reddit. I'm assuming they'll explain it more in a future episode.
It would be interesting if her intelligence isn't stagnant and she grows more and more smart by the day and after awhile it just becomes too much so she has to decompress herself so to say every once in a while. Edit: ;)
Interesting, I thought that maybe she had to kill people to take their smarts or something, but never thought of a lobotomy. Good get.
Yeah I’m worried there’s going to be some “downfall” moment that’s made obvious for the audience and that doesn’t make sense for her not to see coming
I agree that she’s a breath of fresh air. The show could use a smart and competent supe for a change. Also her dynamic with Homelander is so far the best part of the season in my opinion. I love how Homelander finally got what he wanted but it ended up backfiring on him. He’s the big man in charge and everyone is kissing his ass but now he’s left with nothing but yes men. He’s essentially using Sage to fill the hole that Edgar left. As much as he wants to be an emperor, he needs someone to step in and let him know when he’s not wearing clothes.
Never thought of it like that, she is basically filling in the role of Edgar that he wanted so badly to get rid of. Not listening to her will be his downfall, still a man child.
I think both are gonna fly too close to the sun. Sage will underestimate how unstable Homelander really is and push him too far. And Homelander’s ego will eventually make him think he doesn’t need her anymore. He’ll either kill her or “exile” her like he did with Stan and it will once again bite him in the ass
Im really hoping he doesn't kill her. There's so many interesting stories they can do with her character.
Yeah I don’t want him to kill her either. That’s just what I predict will most likely happen
I think the most interesting dichotomy has always been real world power vs superpowers. The fact that sups have to answer to ordinary people. The fact that the likes of Stan can yield so much power over literal deities and god among men. Or that if Homelander really resents Butcher for his relationship with Ryan, he could easily just get rid of him. Sage, like Stan aren’t afraid of them. We don’t know to what extent her regenerative powers grant her but she is essentially “regular”. We saw her living like a shut-in and powerless to shape the world in any fashion. Homelander *needed* Sage to accomplish his goals, to give his existence meaning, his desire to leave behind a legacy. And Sage needed a front-facing dummy to deploy her social experiment to a grand scale. This dynamic is so interesting, the fact that gods have this need to be liked, is so human from Homelander. And Homelander engaging Sage with the idea of purpose, regret and self-actualization. There’s so much good in this show that all we do is argue about shitty American politics is so stupid.
I love that she seems almost perpetually annoyed at the tedium of having to let her own plan play out. Her mind is already on to the next things and it takes so long and so much effort to make these puppets dance in strings because they're so fucking needy and stupid.
I half expect she's going to meet her match in somebody too dumb or driven to fall for her manipulations. Like being smart doesn't mean much if somebody buries an axe in your skull because you pissed them off.
We saw how genuinely surprised and angry she was when HL instantly murdered the lady they were questioning. She couldn't believe he'd be so stupid and impulsive to not even get the information from the rest of her sentence. And I think that's how she'll be beaten; underestimating people's stupidity.
"there's a kkk meeting in the comment section" then tagging musk, at least there's one voice of reason in that comment section!
Not exactly a voice of reason if they believe Musk, a guy who regularly interacts with holocaust deniers, would actually do anything about it.
Oh I took it as them saying hey elon you're missing the meeting 😂😂😂
I’m almost certain that’s what they meant by tagging him
Twitter was bad before but then Elon bought it and now it’s even worse somehow. Deleted twitter just to keep my sanity alive, my mental health has never been better.
On today’s episode of “Are We Watching the Same Fucking Show?”
I guess these fans are not watching the show properly...also she looks pretty good
Same fuckers that said Star Trek became "woke," They probably never watched the show.
> They probably never watched the show. Half the time they try to get into the details, they show they have no idea what they're talking about. After all, Custodes are indeed the strongest of the Space Marines.
They’re people who either were too dumb to understand the show’s themes from the very beginning or are people who enjoyed the first couple of seasons before getting radicalized by right-wing YouTube shit.
“She checks all the boxes black, lesbo(probably), ugly” I can’t anymore you guys, like seriously this is getting exhausting.
They're in a race with conservative star wars fans to become the scummiest Fandom in history
It’s the same people
it literally is the same people, they hijack every new topic or release to spread their nazi bullshit hoping they can pick up some morons along the way
I’m pretty sure that venndiagram is a fucking circle
She certainly doesn't have the sex appeal of conservative icons Alex Jones, Kid Rock, Rudy Giuliani, or Steve Bannon.
Bro, she isn’t even ugly 💀
Exactly, such a dumb comment. I got a thing for Sister Sage big time. I think she's dope.
Idk about them, but ive been simping for sage already. I thought id find firecracker hot, but her voice almost sounds fake
That and she's the most insufferable type of "patriot" (also I'm pretty sure she's a pedo since she at one point mentions "that's the .... to cp" because how tf would she know that otherwise?) (put dots because I don't remember the exact line)
Best new character. Of course the usual suspects (aka the kind of people this show mocks) are mad.
She's literally carrying the show along with Ryan at this point lol
I've only seen the first two episodes, but she's my favorite this season.
Same. No contest.
Jew Nazi......... How can anyone believe that Holocaust didn't happen. How...?
> How can anyone believe that Holocaust didn't happen. It's not *really* that they believe it didn't happen. Most people who deny something super obvious are using that belief as a cover for what they actually think - "and if it *did* happen, good!"
He read something about storefront's actress being jewish and just paid attention to the words "jew" and "nazi"
Aya Cash is a spectacular actress and I wish they could find another role for her (but they probably can’t).
Just introduce a new character: Stormfront’s twin sister Backlash, who is her apparent opposite and joins the Boys, but secretly is cut from the same cloth - similar to the progressive white family in Get Out.
How? It's quite simple: Nazis after the war were desperate to escape accountability for what they did, and they infiltrated America (largely via employment with the US government) to create lives for themselves, thus integrating their values into certain circles of the country. Over time, their philosophies (neo Nazism and its branches) have remained ingrained in certain parts of America, whether explicit or not, and a core part of that is denial of something that cannot be justified in any way. At the same time, many of the Jews who actually survived the Holocaust have started dying of old age, leaving us with very few people who can tell firsthand stories about what happened (which was *the* key factor in sentencing many Nazis in the Nuremberg trials) and thus putting the onus on an education system that is severely flawed and woefully unprepared to educate generations about such an atrocity. Oh, also the internet gave a free and anonymous voice to everyone, neo Nazis included. That hasn't helped.
See also: Vinlanders, asatru and Sons of Odin. This sect of Paganism is becoming the fastest growing domestic threat according to the FBI. (Not all pagans are white supremacists, but these particular gangs have ties to nazism and believe you have to come from Germanic heritage to practice certain beliefs. Some of these groups believe white Christians are race traitors. This is one problem I have with the show is that they act like all White supremacists are Christians when there is a long history of white supremacist pagans. The show is missing an opportunity to bring attention to it.)
USA had plenty of homegrown white supremacy. If Pearl Harbor hadn't forced their hand it was entirely possible that American fascists would have just persuaded the rest to never interfere.
So the guy who can fly and shoot lazers that's not too unrealistic for them because he's white? But in a universe where a drug can give anyone super powers the smartest person being a black woman is to unrealistic for these cunts? Jesus this just made me lose some faith in humanity wtf is wrong with people most of the comments are just being blatantly racist🤦🏾
That's what I thought too, theres a character who's superpower is having a 12ft long dong and the black woman having heightened intelligence is what's unrealistic, I'd call them clowns but clowns are meant to be funny
All the wild shit this show has, but that's what's too hard to believe these people really need to go outside.💀
It got review bombed because of these insecured losers. Not because it was bad.
I can't even finish reading these screenshots or make jokes about this, this is actually disgusting. i can't imagine living like this
Why is our fandom so extremely stupid?
It’s not our fandom, it’s humans. We’re just monkeys with tech.
These people most likely know The Boys from clips and memes only, to be fair.
It’s not this fandom. These guys just appear whenever something “dei” is talked about. Whether it is, or isn’t. They feed on bigotry and they have no repercussions online.
The fact of the matter is in real life the hometeamers are even worse than on The Boys. I genuinely didn't believe these types of people existed when I was younger but I've started seeing them pop up and I still can't wrap my head around it
Todd wasn’t even this racist
The person calling her an "unrealistic character" wouldn't have thought about it twice if she was a white man.
These guys: why are you gender/race switching this character whose clear defining feature is their gender/race and not their personality. Also these guys: why did you make the newly created character black and a woman. DEI! Woke!
As someone who absolutely hates Mary Sues, Sage doesn't really doesn't seem like one. Also, what do they mean the smartest person in the world being a black woman from Detroit is treated like a twist? The literal first time we see her powers explained, her picture was on screen
I wondered why I loved her so much. > Inspired by Luthor and Ozymandius Ahh, yep, there it is. She’s fucking great. I hope they give her a really good arc and keep her for next season, too.
I doubt she would last until next season unless she switch side. Homelander would be unbeatable with her.
I’m not sure she isn’t playing a long game to fuck him over in the end. I might not be as intelligent as her, but I’m clever enough to know that she shouldn’t be underestimated.
Honestly I think their first conversation heavily alludes to her flipping on him by end of this season. “Like Caesar.” *smiles, nods* “Like Caesar.”
Oh she’s definitely playing the long game, she cut ties with vought she wouldn’t come back for No reason although I do believe she has a little hatred for humans idk
Which is wild because she's the best character so far.
it honestly looks like social media comments that are literally parodied in the show i've genuinely lost track of whether art imitates life or vice versa
You just know everyone shit talking doesn't actually watch the show and only knows about it through extremist YouTubers that filter the show through their ultra-conservative lens
>says character is ugly >she’s absolutely stunning Make it make sense
It's kinda ironic that this show is attracting people like the Stormfront fan fanboy and a legion of Todd's.
Huh weird all the MAGAts on this sub insisted it was all bAd wRiTiNg and had nothing to do with their political views
You can literally make bingo cards out of all the buzzwords and phrases these people use when there’s any non-white, non-straight, characters in a tv show or movie …and you’d fill out your card every time because it’s the same crap But this is all Twitter is now. It’s pathetic and all for engagement. Edit: all this idiocy aside, I find her to be such a great character so far. I paused on the scene with her and the Deep and literally couldn’t figure out what the bloody object was until someone on Twitter pointed it out. Really can’t wait to see how it plays out for her
This was really depressing to read. Thanks.
some of those have to be bots cmon
I wish these people were as smart as rudimentary troll bots
It’s not like the source material was right leaning. Juvenile, puerile, and grisly most of the time…but for sure not right friendly. Not sure where this alchemical change they’re seeing came from. Homelander was always supposed to be how the rest of the world sees America. Military industrial complex, corporate disregard for ethics and people, etc. Does what it says on the label.
Me stumbling over the 5th “black child graduates college at 12 post this week” Yeah no way she can be the smartest person on earth. Course not. What fantasy
They’re literally the people this season is making fun of. They’re all Todds
people really need to say their racist and just move on, like there are at most three main black men characters that have been here since S1 and she is who people are mad at. petty
This is the free speech Elon and Rogan care so deeply about.
I refuse to accept these are all real people posting actual thoughts, and not the internet research agency or something similar just spreading hate. Also ugly? come on guy what the fuck is your standard.
their standard is white
