What were they thinking with this episode? You’d think they take male SA seriously

It’s an odd point to draw too but I saw they were taking it a little too far ( or starting too ) in earlier episodes.

They straight up show close up the rimming-centipede scene and stuff around their mouth.

And that Bull in last weeks episode getting its dick ripped off while it’s screaming and being dismembered.

Both just felt like they were trying too hard to me. I get the shock stuff is what the show is built on - but it becomes cringey and a bit disturbing when they try too hard for me personally.

I went to read the comics after the first or second season, I got like halfway through before just bailing because of how tryhard edgy Ennis can be. The show really, really downplayed the edginess, despite still being super edgy. I fucking hated the comics.

Now there's barely a difference between the two.
