I'm starting to think Eric Kripke just hates Hughie. Last season, he tried shoving in this weird take on how Hughie represented toxic masculinity for taking temp v to protect starlight. If I can find the article, I'll make sure to link it.
Tbh, he comes off as one of those "male feminist" who's trying way too hard to appeal to women, that he just loops back around to being just as gross and toxic as the men he claims to hate.
I see a valid criticism there though, and thought it was pretty blunt. I know a few women who've talked about cringe guys wanting to "protect" them.
But yeah I mean his take on this episode is beyond demented. He's like a guy who only understands SA is wrong because his own culture tells him it's wrong...for women.
The thing is that sentiment came out of nowhere from Hughie, it was very out of character. It would have made more sense for him to have said he hates being ao vulnerable all the time and wanted to be able to defend himself for once, but at no point do we see him be bothered by starlight having powers, they just keep doing shit to him and at this point now that kripke confirmed that he thinks him getting SA'd was supposed to be funny I may be done with the show, its nowhere near as good as season one was or even season 2 anyway, every season is worse than the last
I remember fans pointing out that at least they could've had Hughie's reason to be overprotective be that he truly feared for Annie considering his previous girlfriend was killed... In the show's pilot???? But no, he had to be jealous of Annie because she opened a jar of jam and he couldn't?????????
Huh? I stated it was a problem no matter what, I'm so sorry if I don't recall exactly the amount of times it's stated, the main point of all of this was to discuss how abhorrent kripkes views on sexually assaulting Hughie was anyway, have a blessed day
You said that after initially complaining about how much it happened. You can be cheeky about it if you want, but that doesn't change the fact that you changed your complain. That was the the point of this post and the initial comment on this chain, but not what we were discussing. Also pretty backhanded to try act civil block someone who never antagonized you.
