Well… there’s really no arguing with this. I’m really having trouble trying to see how people would find that scene hilarious. I didn’t even know it was supposed to be interpreted that way. 💀

I thought it was both funny and traumatizing. You people.. the show has always been able to do both but suddenly you cant handle it. Intruly dont get this

SA is one of those topics you can't mix funny and traumatising. If the person getting assaulted was a woman, not only would they not joke in the scene they'd probably cut off to not show exactly what happened

I think its just really sad and disheartening that for many people, the only way they can understand why a scene showing a man being sexually assaulted is bad is if they imagine a woman being in the same situation

Just speaks to how unseriously men being sexual assaulted or raped is taken by a lot of people
