The Boys is what always got me. It was "woke" from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it's only woke now?
The morons didn't realize you're not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.
Granted, I'm a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.
Like, I see this sentiment that "homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn't know it" meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.
Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.
but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander?
early on in the show's life, absolutely yes, i saw plenty of people doing just that

I had a friend go "yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now" like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I've ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can't tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.
Is the boys really woke or just anti maga? Or is woke now just anti maga?
Woke is anti MAGA, but also other things.
I would say MAGA is anti woke, and woke is whatever dear leader wants it to be

i had a chuckle when i read some comment complaining about star trek discovery being "woke" LOL
dude, of all the shows ever, which one do you think practically INVENTED what you call "woke"?
There are conservative Star Trek fans and it's really weird. They ignore the diversity and the socialist utopia and just focus on pew pew space battles.
I liked it back when it was anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promoted socially progressive relationships, not like now when it's anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promotes socially progressive relationships!
“I only watch Star Trek for the Klingons”
Lmao, no they dont.
Klingons have brown skin.
Maybe they watched it for the original Klingons? (Brown face)

Which is hilarious because (and I say this as a huge Trek fan) the pew pew space battles are easily the worst part of Star Trek, production-wise.

LMFAO. RATM lyrics were so radically leftist that I am fairly certain the entire band was on an FBI watchlist.
well the CIA did shut down their website
Really?!? LOL.
The name itself is very leftist. There could be a band named "This Band is Woke and Always Has Been" and they would say they're woke now.
When I was young the world was pure and innocent, but then I learned about politics and everybody started doing it.
rage against the machine lmao that's like saying system of a down is woke now
Imagine hearing the name of the band and thinking that The Machine was the hero.

They’re all woke except X-Men, which is “work” now.
If the far right possessed any humanity, creativity, talent, or imagination they could create their own woke-free entertainment but they don't so they should shut the fuck up and be grateful that everyone else can.
They do. It sucks.
Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn't magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).
Conservatives being in charge of writing produced such masterpieces as Mr. Birchum and Ladyballers. Both Benny Shaps and Jeremy Boering failed to make it in Hollywood as writers for a reason.
Conservative writing is just an endless stream of punching down.
Rip actress lady.i lov u
Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?

The best part of this meme is that it takes into account the fact that they haven’t figured out how unimaginably, purposefully woke The Matrix is
Disney is woke.
I shortened it for you.
Sounds like people who weren't aware before are now woke
Woke Ness Monster
...also, Dude, monster is not the preferred nomenclature, uh, aquatic-horror, please
Star wars is woke now
It's spelt wookie
Star Trek. (Always has been)
In my view, Star Wars has actually been quite conservative. So I guess it IS relatively woke now?
Well Lucas saw it as an allagory for resistance against empire so there may be something in there to muddy up simple conservatism. Nothing is simple.
