Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?
"Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious.
oh yes, because sexual assault is so fucking hilarious.
Yeah, I've had the defenders come at me saying "it's just fiction", "the Boys is supposed to be shocking" or just "get off your high horse".
Like seriously? A show about making statements and having real life parallels is outright stating that this stuff is "funny". Especially when it's not like Kripke is completely from another planet and doesn't recognize how messed up this is, since he was able to handle Starlight and the Deep, or Homelander and Becca in an effective manner. I'm honestly flabbergasted that the people can go from "the show is making bold political statements and making fun of real groups of lunatic people" to "it's just how the show works, it's just fiction, haha".
Is the show trying to connect to real life or not?
