I only just started watching that series, so I don't have much to base my opinion on, but just like with any media representation of a marginalized group (especially on a comedic, raunchy show like The Boys which use simplified, exaggerated characatures for comedic effect) there are going to be issues with how we're portrayed.
That being said, I trust the general viewing audience for that show to be clever enough to not take The Deep too seriously. And I'm sure they understand that no single person or tv character can accurately represent ANY identity-based community. So I'll continue to laugh at The Deep, just like I'll laugh at their gay characters, religious hypocrite characters, or greedy, shallow, self-righteous, white male characters.
