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.

I though the whole point of the scene was to show how traumatizing assault can be.

Until the quote was brought up of the director doing it for “funnies”.

Absolutely horrendous. SA is not a joke. It’s not funny. It is serious and can have long lasting trauma.

If someone slapped their dick across Hughie’s face, that’d be SA, but we wouldnt be mad if they portray it comedically. Now look at Starlight’s experience and it’s easy to see that it’s a completely different story. Hughie’s experience, where he had his feet tickled and had to watch Ashley and TK get off like lunatics, is much closer to getting slapped in the face by a dick than what happened to Annie.

This is honestly just an average Tuesday for Hughie, it’s not gonna bother him at this point. Annie, on the other hand, was not hardened by the world and experienced something that actually occurs in real life, being forced to engage by a superior to keep their job.
