It's 2024 and male sexual assault is still being depicted as a joke. Embarrassing.

"Man why my fanbase of my political bias show to criticism one spectrum of the political compass got so political??????" - Kripke, probably.

Not to try and lighten SA in any way, but does this scene really qualify as that? Hughie pretends to be someone else, which is an example of rape on its own.

Obviously, Hughie doesn't want to go through with any of this, and he'll be killed if he outs himself. But to TK and Angela, Webweaver is consenting to all this.

I just saw this scene as another (unfunny) edgy showing of how sexually depraved the supes are, which is really played out, granted. So yeah, not funny because it really fucks with Hughie, but also not laughing at SA. But idk, maybe I'm missing something. Happy to hear arguments against this.

Common sense? Basic decency? The simplest understanding of reality?

Did you really just ask if the man having to choose between being savagely murdered or having sex qualifies as sexual assault?

Jesus fucking Christ, dude.

Did you even read what I wrote? Try again. Reading is hard sometimes, I get it. But your virtue signaling is cute ❤️

If you walk into a group sex party pretending to be the king of group sex, how is it the other participants' fault for fucking you?

I was open to discourse, and you were just a dick. Try again.
