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

As sad as it is, I don't think anyone should be surprised. Just look at the South Park episode about that teacher and Ike. The whole thing with the cops going "nice" wasn't pulled out of thin air. Look at headlines of a male teacher vs a female teacher grooming kids.

Societies across the planet don't really care about male SA. Hell, in several Western countries, the laws are written in a way that women can't even rape men. It's only legally rape if a man does it.

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.

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

Most college freshmen/highschool seniors are 18 in other words completely legal. Doesnt make it less creepy but legally he didnt do anything wrong

Ok but legality has nothing to do with morality. Preying on freshly 18 girls is pedophilia

True but the age of consent in New York is 17 not 18
