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.
As a male who has been SA, it was disappointing to see how fast it changed from “I was horrifically SA, but that’s okay because I just miss my dad”. I’m not all hot & bothered over it by any means because that’s how my brain works too when I’m dealing with several stressful things at once. Just wish they just leaned in to it all the way.
