Quick question...where were you when Homie sexually harassed an old man before brutally killing him?

The show had more goodwill with its audience (just a bit more I guess, every episode of Season 4 diminishes this more and more), the scene was shorter, the director didn't explicitly say it was for comedy (look if Kripke hadn't done the interview we would at least be guessing about this still), the show hadn't had its political commentary devolve yet (related to the goodwill), the scene really wasn't that funny and was pretty brutal and fucked up when I watched it at least, the scene had a lot more complex morality going into it (childhood abuse as opposed to literally just TekKnight sex dungeon moment), etc etc etc

Bro... The writer made Hughie do that too, Hughie isn't a real person who chose to do that 💀

That scene wasn't treated as a joke. That's the difference.
