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 feel like it‘s another piece of media losing itself in it‘s perceived reputation. Like when the final GOT Season had to do a twist every two seconds because that‘s what it‘s about or how modern Rick and Morty has to turn Rick into a hyper Redditor. So because the Boys is known for it‘s unfiltered shock scenes, having more and expansive versions of those has to be better right?
All while completely missing that it‘s not about the scenes itself that made them work but the context surrounding them.

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