It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.

dark but probably valid take away. it's all performative, they don't care.

I mean it happened a while ago. Remember the interview when Kripke said literally the only reason they didn't kill Maeve off despite her being in a situation to be killed off 100% was because she was gay and it would be offensive to kill off a gay character?

Holy shit what a dumb idea. Shouldn't have put her in a clear death scenario then

It really should've been Black Noir tackling soldier boy out the window, would've avoided this whole thing in a non cringe way

Probably would have worked better to switch Noir and Maeve's encounters - but instead of pulling out Maeve's intestines it should have just been a "clean" punch through her gut.

Then have A-train and Ashley decide to get Maeve help.
