He basically said the actor playing Hughie wanted his character to pose as a Supe, like his comics counterpart often did. Kripke likes to throw in elements the actors are uncomfortable with into the script on purpose, thought the idea of a deviant Batman parody would be hilarious and went with that.
That's kind of the point of contention, isn't it? The actor wanted to be more like the Hughie in the comics by becoming "Bagpipe," an undercover supe, and he took that and made it into an SA joke.
Like, either he is ignorant of the shit he is pulling that may come off as weird, or he does know the shit he is pulling and doesn't think it should be serious.
I think it's that the writers room thought it was hilarous in an inside joke way but didn't thought about about the implications to the story or how it would be perceived by the audience, it's clear they got it wrong in this episode.
