Oh look at the hood! How original

It's like the hood scene in Django Unchained. But even dumber.

Well fuck all y'all! I'm going home!

You know, I watched my wife work all day gettin' thirty bags together for you ungrateful sons of bitches!

And all I can hear is criticize, criticize, criticize! From now on, don't ask me or mine for nothin'!

I immediately went to the Rorschach-inspired masked gang from the Watchmen show.

Though that's very obviously playing off of the Klan and modern Militias.

...

God, I remember a bunch of my old 'friends' noping out of that show by the end of episode 2 or 3, because it was 'obviously politically biased' and 'waaay too farfetched', 'of course they made the Rorschach guys into racists'.

Yep.

Totally implausible and needlessly mean spirited portrayal.

Definitely no connection to real life racist yokel moral absolutist hypocrite conspiricists.

...

It's particularly amazing because this group fashioned themselves movie buffs, often going into trivia around what various actors, directors and what not said in interviews about their own work and methods, differences between different cuts of movies or how true they were to the events or works that inspired them.

Guess they just conveniently dismissed what Alan Moore said about reception of Rorschach.

Man, they really missed out, too. That show was amazing!

A bunch of weak cowardly racist assholes... It shows they know what they're doing is wrong & fear the repercussions of their actions.

The "alpha male" personas they're trying to shovel, the moment they're upset about anything they immediately turn into cry babies. They're literally a cult following a orange turd with dementia.
