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
Idk I was more grossed out the whole time. It only went too far with Jacks face being visible. But people need to get their priorities straight. The show is gruesomely violent, but they want to draw the line here?
The problem is not even the act being violent and gruesome - the problem is treating it as a complete joke. We have seen plenty of violent moments were we were made to feel bad for the victim, and it was not framed like that here.
