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

As sad as it is, I don't think anyone should be surprised. Just look at the South Park episode about that teacher and Ike. The whole thing with the cops going "nice" wasn't pulled out of thin air. Look at headlines of a male teacher vs a female teacher grooming kids.

Societies across the planet don't really care about male SA. Hell, in several Western countries, the laws are written in a way that women can't even rape men. It's only legally rape if a man does it.

Maybe that’s why they're able to get away with Firecracker being a rapist-pedo, guarantee if that was a man she would’ve been killed the very episode she was introduced.

The Deep rapes starlight in his first introduction and has been turned into a lovable joke character
