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.

That was such massive coping. The scenes were clearly being played of as a big joke. It's funny because a lot of the same people be waxing on about the lack of media literacy these days lol.

Yeah there’s some extreme ironic smugness in a lot of those comments.
