it's worse than that. He hates The Boys because he believes it'll attract MAGA CHUDs from the ether to idolize Evil Superman like the CHUDs allegedly idolize Bojack Horseman, Walter White, Tyler Durden, etc. It's the SnyderCut-to-Fascist pipeline in his eyes.
See, this thing Bob has where he'll deride media for attracting the wrong fanbase is always been very silly because he'll attack media and its fanbases for being chuddy, for being politically regressive, for just being douchey, then he'll play favorites with his pet franchises as if Marvel fans haven't made it a point to be as obnoxious as possible. As if he hasn't been the most obnoxious fanboy+anti simultaneously, as if he doesnt harass randoms he doesnt like or even going after people whose biggest crime is they made fun of dumb college kids back in 2016 in their hateful fart cartoon. Again, he will tacitly admit nintendo or disney do evil things, but to him the surface level idpol makes it all okay yet some guy not liking TLJ means he's evil or if some actor says he doesnt want to dress up in tights all the movies he makes can't be supported?
Like he can go on about JKR encouraging wrongthink but Disney literally is ran by guys who donate to Trump. Materially Disney does more conservative shit than JKR does, but because Disney puts out aesthetically progressive movies with "black women in marvel movies" he's okay with them being the fox that feeds him to the wolves. Which to me the fact JKR was able to "singlehandedly" defeat trans rights yet Disney can't get a centrist democrat in office unless they make 20 more shitty movies with a line about the patriarchy just you wait, to me suggests this idea that Disney's creatives are doing praxis that he has is just incorrect objectively. Like he very much retcons ideas he has if it can then be used to say something pro-idpol, he went from anti-auteur theory to then thinking that Watiti and Margot Robbie are auteurs because they made toy commercials with idpol in it
He's a silly guy
This actually annoys me, because Bob is such a fucking tourist: he's been on record for saying he doesn't like the GTA games, he hated San Andreas, thought IV was a generic and overrated game that should've been a TPS instead of an open world if it wanted to tell its story, thought GTAV's satire was obnoxious, retweeted FilmCritHulk's rant about RDR2 being boring despite never having played it and has made ton of takes about how GTA's writing is problematic and then they've never done a female protagonist (not that it's even false, but the way he worded it he never reveals knowledge about the GTA1 protags or the online protag like how an actual fan would know about them and make that concession but still use that make a broader point about the differences)
And I'm a leftist, which is why I post here as I find there should be criticism from a left perspective so people dont think "oh so it's just because he's left leaning", but no he's an idiot: Even as someone who thinks Trump is tanking the economy through retardation and disagree with all his ideology and policies, Bob knows nothing of Rockstar's catalogue: GTA IV was aiming for 2007 and then got delayed to early 2008 and then get delayed AGAIN. Red Dead 2 got delayed form 2016 to 2018 and GTA V got delayed from 2011 to 2013 so he just has no knowledge of how Rockstar operates and is just falling into the habits he says voters have of "bad thing happens = president did it"
And that's a major problem I have with other leftists, it's like if you're gonna play blood sports and shitstir be my guest, but this is deeply unserious. Price changes and delays are on the companies themselves, criticize them ya morons you're supported to be anti-capitalist (well Bob isn't). This idea that the good wholesome companies had to do it is fucking moronic
And to Bob's credit this is to some extent a joke, but it's fucking incoherent and a stupid pun on Take 2 Interactive's name or something and again he doesn't actually care because he hates GTA and if he knew Rockstar delays their games by two years all the time he'd not have made that skeet. He just wanted to "own" Trump by going "hey gamers, Trump took away your hecking vidya"
Which is extra annoying because like, why are delays and price changes a bad thing in and of themselves? Games have barely raised in price to match inflation and more time on a game is always good, surely everything else Trump is doing is worse than delayed gratification? What, you were okay with killing student protestors and deporting migrants? The thing that makes shit/rad/neolibs alike so unserious is how they never take economic spirals seriously until a (R)etard is in office, constantly defending the other retar(D) and then when the other guy gets in making the gayest resist lib talking points ever as if they didnt make fun of that same petty BS a year ago
It was really annoying when he retweeted that woman who was like "wokes aren't complaining about GTA anymore just the chuds", and im like yea because you managed to harass the writers out of employment!
I find this trying-to-be-simpsons-so-bad quote mining so reddit-coded, i know it's not bob saying that but that's the aesthetic bob is part of and keeps company with, he definitely thought that was "a good one": these people are so dedicated to enjoying toy movies they will call anything out that even seems like it has a hint of snobbery to it, oh sorry people like collecting blu rays of Angst and not She Ra season 2, my fucking bad I didn't check with the cool kids who like faggot shit that you're only allowed to like Heathers and Commando and not As Good as it Gets. Anything beyond pulp is oscar bait
This shit Bob's retwat is doing is almost as bad as defending Cuties.
