Doing My Part

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.
