Yakub!
I for one am glad that soyboys are mostly contained in one site.
The stupids unironically believe Nazi Germany was morally superior than the US in their treatment of black people. "The hook" was the German WWI propaganda which Nazi Germany reproduced to wage psyops on black soldiers.
Culture war bullshit or not, the show expects you to have read the comic. It references tons of shit from the comic, and doesn't explain any of it, it just then decides to fuck it all up.
And it expects you to be a card carrying member of team Orange Man Bad

The Bluecheckists are weighing in, a group of people where someone like Andy Richter is an intellectual heavyweight.

“My favorite corners of twitter these days are the “yeah, sure, you might like it, but the HBO Watchmen is NOT great” corners”
There's a whole subgenre of responses from the Extremely Online that are like "Moore's distaste for adaptations has been proven wrong, now that there's an adaptation of his work that reflects my cultural preferences back at me!"

'Watchmen' Recap: Time Is a Flat Circle
Dr. Manhattan is everywhere at all times — except when he’s his earthbound alter ego
Weird, huh, that TV critics are reviewing this weeks episode of Watchmen (written by Lindelof and a former Lost recapper/theorist) in the style of the show! That's almost like something you'd do when you're auditioning for a job...
Alan Sepinwall himself is an absolute hack critic who writes like a circa-1998 Buffy the Vampire Slayer fansite on Geocities.
Like I said a few pages back, Watchmen is a show that has the "punch a Nazi!" crowd unironically cheering for Nazism and they don't even realize it. These are the same people who get up in arms about liking Rorshach. Lindelof would be worthy of a standing ovation if he did that on purpose, but he clearly didn't and is just such a ridiculous hack he made a show that preaches the exact opposite message he intended.
The people who say fanboys complaining about this dumpsterfire are just shallow man babies, are the same people who beat themselves off to the wachowskis V for Vendetta adaptation.The Bluecheckists are weighing in, a group of people where someone like Andy Richter is an intellectual heavyweight.

Yeah, I know a few folk who have never read the comic or heard of a culture war, and they're enjoying it. It's not amazing, but then, I thought the comic was overrated.
Like I said its impossible to enjoy this if you read the comic and accept it as a sequel. Its also impossible to enjoy unless your on team orange man bad
It's like poetry. It rhymes.
To be fair, you could say that the orthodox western narrative of WWII is heavily reliant upon assigning vastly disproportionate moral weight to the wellbeing of Jewish people, so that sort of ethnic/racial particularism isn't without precedent.
