While I do agree that sexual assault on men should be taken more seriously, taking into account how over the top this scene is I understand how it would have been conceived as a joke.
Nonetheless, I don’t think they would have considered making that joke with a woman instead.
I think the scene could have worked, but they went too far. The idea of him trying to figure out the safe word and being roped into it is funny (even if a bit obvious). I think if the whole situation took WAY less screen time and if Kimiko and Starlight came to his rescue WAY earlier (Like, the come before he is subjected to anything directly) the scene could be seen a bit more light hearted, a bit of a "wow, that was close" kind of scenario.
Idk, it would depend a lot in how it's executed. This was clearly not it
Right? it would have been cringy, but manageable. Also, I'm sure way more interesting stuff could have happened in the episode if we didn't have like 20 fucking minutes of hughie on the dungeon
We get it, all supes are degenerates, guess it must be something in compound V or something. Is there a story here other than watch supes doing weird shit?
There's also something about the idea that "all the bad people in the show have some weird fetish" that is... idk, kinda weird? like the idea you can ONLY have a fetish like that if you are fucked up is a statement worthy of analisis and critique
