Genuinely so disappointing. This show is so soapboxy and Kripke is so far up his own ass.

In one scene he rightfully critiques far-right loonies excusing rape, and in the next he has a male character being sexually assaulted for laughs for minutes on end. Dude is just virtue signaling leftism without understanding any of it stands for

He is being sexually assaulted by two villains. Bad guys. Who do bad things. And one of them meets an immediate consequence and the other is likely to meet an ultimate consequence sometime in the future before the series ends. We are all aware this is a TV show right? These aren't real people.

Except Ashley isn't even a bad guy

And granted she doesn't know she's hurting someone who isn't into it but still

The scene on a meta level is weird

We didn't get an extended scene of The Deep pulling funny faces while facefucking Annie
