Homelander's son is a simp. Feeling uncomfortable at someone else's presence does not create a moral excuse to ritually humiliate and degrade someone for being socially clumsy.
So what? Women being toxic is justified if their feelings say so.
Woman anger is righteous and justified. Male anger is toxic and should be kept in check.
That's the moral of the story. That and Ryan learning how to be weird, much to John boy’s pride.
Subtext being: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Woman angst justified. Male angst is a threat.
Don’t mind these statistics of boys killing themselves at a higher rate than women. Our top priority should be a woman in a workplace who’s uncomfortable because her co-worker said:
Him: “Hi.”
Her:
Jokes aside, John making that girl jump last season, killing that guy and the people cheer, the plane incident. All insanity. That’s the point, collapse, insanity normalized, this woman going off over a first world problem, zero hesitation to assault this dude that (we have to presume) never struck her in the same way before, that’s the point, devolution.
Hence what Sage said when she met Homelander. The people, the “masses” will destroy their own civilization, we just have to be nudged.
The propaganda within the propaganda. The Boys perfectly mirrors IRL collapse because the writers are projecting so much meta into the show, the story itself is getting hijacked by the propaganda's own subtext.
