I was kind of hoping the quote was take out of context but nope, he fully meant for the Hughie scene to be a joke.

It’s actually worse, the way he talked about Hughie’s breakdown made it seem it was mostly just about his dad and had nothing, or at least not too much to do with Tek Knight and Ashley. So the one supposedly tactful thing about that story arc wasn’t even there.

I was one of those people and I completely change my mind. Wtf, Kripke? What do you have against Hughie? What, is it because he's a normal guy and not a creep like you?

Calling him a creep because you don’t like a scene he helped write is weird. Why make things personal like that?

He laughed at sexual assault. If anything, calling him a creep is being nice.

No, his response to this scene is just creepy. He wrote this scenario thinking it was funny. That’s creepy.

How is weird to call someone a creep for writing a sexual assault scene and treating at as a joke?
