The creator of Amazon hitThe Boyshas hit back at misogynistic trolls after telling them to “eat a bag of d**ks* in response to their hateful tirade against star Erin Moriarty.
Airing for the first time in 2019,The Boyshas gone on to become one of Amazon’s most highly-rated shows with the series giving a unique spin on the superhero genre. However, with a genre as gatekept as this, it is perhaps no surprise that misogynistic fans are unhappy with one of the show’s stars.

In September of last year, Moriarty reposted a fan article which pointed out all of the misogynistic hate that both character and actor had received since appearing inThe Boys.Although the repost has since been taken down, it can still be found online.
“The harassment feels all the worse given the context of her role as Starlight on the show, a woman silenced and sexualised, treated like a celebrity canvas for others to project onto rather than a human being with her own thoughts and feelings,” the article reads. “But Annie is fictional, and Erin is not. The torment doesn’t end for her when the credit starts, because there is no switch off.”
It’s safe to say Kripke is unhappy and understandably so. Let us hope this ridiculous tirade doesn’t continue forThe Boys’recent spin-off show,Gen V.
