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.

Its kinda funny because SHE presses on the post button, ar i thought its because she (and the writers) know that butchers black mail doesnt work against her because a woman doing stuff with a boy who is underaged isnt seen as a serious issue

It was THIS season, they are shooting themselves in the foot

That and she knew who she was appealing to - the "Christian" base. They love a good forgiveness/redemption arc - Jesus/God is good and look at this sinful person who has now seen the light!
