The Boy spoofs Evangelicalism constantly. Evangelical Christianity, white Christian nationalism, and Qanon are all wrapped up together these days, and The Boys provides hilarious and frightening satire of this mess. Project 2025, Donald Trump, anti-LGBT policies, The Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Franklin Graham, President George Bush, and so many more are treated in the show.

I have no idea why the automated preview is in Russian. Perhaps the Lemmy servers are getting a localized version.

    The russian text, from google translate:

    Watch your favorite videos, listen to your favorite songs, upload your own videos and share them with friends, family and the whole world.

    The bot is probably scraping the russian version for info because of google’s recent anti adblocker crusade, geospoofong to a country with sanctions is probably an effective mitigation.

    But think of how perfect it would be if it was a supercut of the parodies of the Russian Orthodox church.

    (I’m guessing that isn’t in the show, but I haven’t watched it.)

    Edit: I just saw the same Russian preview in a post on 10F. Weird.

      I don’t control the preview box, it’s generated by Lemmy.world based on the link.

        Methinks Lemmy.world’s preview generator is a russian troll
