I recommend everyone watch it. Keep a finger on the 30 second skip button to bypass the really degenerate stuff though.
The reason you should watch it is because it is an instructive illustration of what they see when you disagree with them. And of how much they hate YOU. Not some abstract concept, but you personally. Sam Hyde wasn't even slightly exaggerating when he said “When we win, do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.” If anything, he wasn't expressing the sentiment strongly enough.
Remember those lessons for when the other side asks of you any mercy or human consideration, and for when the people supposedly on our side call for restraint.
Haven’t seen the show because I’m tired of deconstruction but didn’t the showrunner openly say he hated Trump supporters or the right?
I finished season 1 and that was enough for me. It's a 'chosen' project and as such it is anti male, anti christian, anti-straight and as always 'nasty'
I read the first two TPBs and the comics seem fine. My brother asked me why I didn’t watch the show since I’m a collector of comics. I told him I wanted to read some traditional hero comics. The way you described it sounds standard for current shows
It wouldn't surprise me
There are some good superhero deconstructions, most recently Samaritan. Before that Kick-Ass and for lower budget there's Defendor, Boy Wonder (surprisingly good), and Super.
No doubt. It was during a time when deconstruction and subversion of expectations was all the rage and I got sick of it. But I love the Kick Ass Comics. Plus the author has been on the real BBC
