I see the SJW retards over at r television are jerking themselves pretty hard over the new character "Stormfront*" being a Trumpesque Nazi. I was planning to wait until the season ended to watch, but if it's just another show telling me how terrible I am, I'll throw it on the ever growing mountain of trash TV.

Hm, I dunno regarding the woke aspect. It is showing in places.
MM literally uses the phrase "standing on his neck" when telling the story of his father against Vought in episode 4.
The majority of Show!Stormfront's racism has been towards black characters in the two episodes it it shown.
She wipes out a building killing 59 people when chasing the TKer. Then there's the flashback from episode 4.
Both of them are heavily playing on topical racial tensions.
Remember she's named for the comic character she's based off, gender bent as the character is. The in universe PR angle is the name comes from the electric powers. The meta angle is that it's a very obvious tongue in cheek nom De plume of a literal nazi.
The comic version of Stormfront was the literal Ubermensch created by the Nazis in WW2 brought over by Vought in some Operation Paperclip moment, which may still be used as part of the origin story given the timelines the show is using but would leave the other part connected with the 7 as next to impossible.
It is possible the heavy diversity inclusion angle brought up in ep4 WA done for satire such as the interview involving Homelander as well as all the "Girls get it done" slogan pushing by the PR group in the show, but then it may have also only really been done to give Showfront a relatable angle for woke viewers, before they get the nazi twist thrown at them full force.
He was wearing a Black Panthers shirt in that scene, as well.
kinda more spoilery than I would have liked....but we all know thanks to conditioning they see nazis and immediately think "Trump".
Wonder what would happen if they watched The Man in the High Castle.
Thank god someone else feels this way. I've seen quite a few shows get declared "woke garbage" that when I saw them I was like "errrr not really", or the woke level was very low.
Yes, because Bezos Prime has absolutely no woke shows at all.

It's not retarded to pre-emptively dismiss things as woke. It's worse to have funded an enemy than miss out on a show/movie/game.
I understand your point, but there are times the sieve is too fine and you miss something good. I thought Bill and Ted's latest was going to be woke shit but it turned out to be clever and pretty damned funny.
