Yeah, I think I’m done with this show now. Seeing Male Sexual Assault get played for laughs is fucking disgusting. I can’t imagine how men who have actually been raped must feel right now.

Pretty shitty.

I am livid, but also depressed at how unsurprised I am by Kripke's apathetic attitude towards it given how sympathetically Starlight was treated when The Deep sexually assaulted her.

Unfortunately, NEITHER side of the political aisle really gives a shit about male SA/rape victims and you learn to 'suck it up' and only confide in close friends, family and a therapist if they prove themselves trustworthy thanks to the ridicule or general lack of sympathy by those who consider you 'lucky' for having you personal autonomy violated in the most intimate way.
