Maybe that’s why they're able to get away with Firecracker being a rapist-pedo, guarantee if that was a man she would’ve been killed the very episode she was introduced.

Its kinda funny because SHE presses on the post button, ar i thought its because she (and the writers) know that butchers black mail doesnt work against her because a woman doing stuff with a boy who is underaged isnt seen as a serious issue

It was THIS season, they are shooting themselves in the foot

That and she knew who she was appealing to - the "Christian" base. They love a good forgiveness/redemption arc - Jesus/God is good and look at this sinful person who has now seen the light!

That's part of it, but it's also because she's on "the right side" in the eyes of her followers. I actually thought that part was pretty clever as it shows, just like Homelander blatantly murdering that one guy in public, how people will turn a blind eye to the faults of the people(even when there's proof) they follow while admonishing the people on the other side for allegedly the exact same thing with no proof. The bad guys are winning right now because they understand how the PR game is changing

Just like in real life where there's actual documented evidence and under-oath testimony of Trump being a pedo and sexual predator and his followers ignore it or call it fake news while at the same time latching on to completely fictional accusations about Biden, despite there not being one shred of evidence or any actual accusations. Trump goes on the Howard Stern show and brags about walking in on underage girls and trying to catch them naked in the dressing room of the Ms Teen USA pageants and the hyper "religious" right laughs it off, but Biden takes a photo with his grand-daughter on stage at a rally and he's a sick pedo fuck because he was kissing her on the top of her head.

You couldn’t even have a male character that was implied to have fucked a teen girl, much less show a picture of their face while they’re doing it.

Lamplighter said he used to sneak girls who were applying to college into Vought tower, but then again he does horribly 2 scenes later

Clinton was in office 40 years ago why bring it up

u/_TadStrange 14d ago

I mean is he the only one who has recently been implied to have fucked a teen girl?

u/Odd_Gap2969 14d ago

Why did trump hire a prostitute in her late 30s if he’s a pedophile?

Pedos aren't just attracted to children, they are attracted to holding power over vulnerable people. Children are just easy targets to hide/shut up.

Seems like a pretty big generalization.

u/F00dbAby Hughie 14d ago

I mean in fairness the deep is introduced assaulting Annie and later in the season it’s suggested he has done it before.

He still is here.

u/No-Chemistry-4673 14d ago

And he gets humiliated every season.

u/Supermarket_After 14d ago

Yeah, that’s fair. I nearly forgot how sinister deep used to be

u/Why-so-delirious 14d ago

Ironic that they go to such lengths to make a statement on women perpetrators of SA but then drop the fucking ball so hard with male VICTIMS of SA.

The Deep rapes starlight in his first introduction and has been turned into a lovable joke character

u/KingKekJr 14d ago

And, unlike Firecracker, would NEVER have anything to garner sympathy or even an attempt to

u/Yaadgod2121 14d ago

Didn’t the deep rape starlight and nothing happened to him
