This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes and no. Vought made a terrorist supervillain for the reasons you described, yes, but they couldn't control what kinds of powers he'd get. The ones who decided he'd blow himself up were the show writers.
Vought has a history of playing into racist stereotypes in the narrative, so they probably overlooked more powerful/capable candidates in whatever experiments they were doing once they got this guy.
Sure, that's possible, but there's no evidence in the show that they did that.

Yeah you are right he's the only one, I forgot Homelander got them the dose of V
This feels like a thermian argument. In-universe explanations don't justify racist stereotypes as written by the author. Plus, this is The Boys we're talking about... Kripke had Hughie raped last season because he thought it was funny. Don't give them any credit
Nice reference
Also I should check more what was in the comics vs the show.
